Help: Replacing an alternator on a TDV8

Can anyone assist? I am trying to find out whether I could replace the alternator on my RRS TDV8 myself. I have found the guide for the Disco / TDV6, but I understand that the TDV8 is a more complex / difficult job.
Does anyone have experience in carrying out this? Is there a guide? Should I rather just go to the dealers on this one?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thx.

2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Completely different and much more involved than a TDV6.

LR official repair time (ie ideal conditions) is 2.2hrs but at least the body doesn't have to come off - unlike changing a sump gasket.
