For a normal change you need to have 5 litres available - I have less than half a litre left from that.
Haynes says that the total capacity is 8.5 litres, but I have no idea how much the Gibbons Method would manage to drain - I've not done anything like that.
If your service at 59,000 was done correctly it should have included a change of ATF fluid - they would be able to charge more - but whether or not it was actually done is anybody's guess.
If I was starting again, knowing what I know now I would be changing the fluid much more often - perhaps at 40K - I'm certainly not going to wait until 60K.
Before you drain the IRD - be sure that you can slacken the filler/level plug first - some poor souls have been know to drain the IRD and then not be able to open the filler.
IRD is often not checked/topped up because of the tight filler plug. I needed a long extension bar, and mucho effort.
The rear diff has no drain plug. I was tempted to open the casing to get all the old oil out - but decided against that as on my previous Freelander I could not get a good seal again and had to live with a slight 'weep'.
Instead I got myself a syrnge with a flexi spout from Halfrauds to suck the oil out - it was also needed to get the new oil in as the filler/level plug is not the easiest to top up from a litre bottle.
Have you got a Haynes Workshop Manual and the Owner's manual?
Are you actually in Aberdeen City?
