from the outside the sediment filter on my 93 200tdi disco looks like its not been replaced for a long time. would i be better buying a new one or cleaning the one still fitted will be just as good? i sprayed some wd 40 of the the plastic screen on it, managed to free it off for half a turned, wasnt brave enough to try more as needed the disco today
clean or replace that is the question

The bottom thumbscrew is likely to shear but there's bolt on the top-middle (12mm I think) which allows you to take the whole sedimenter off.
Don't lay underneath it when you undo it though!! I put a freeze bag around it to catch the fuel.

If you mean that you tried to remove the white plastic screw - can I suggest that you don't !
You can remove the sedimenter bowl by undoing the 11mm bolt on the top of the assembly, then remove the bowl and clean. Then reinstall the bowl.
