Changing the fuel filter on a 300tdi is an easy job on the disco 300 tdi. Takes no more than 10 mins. You literally just unscrew it and screw the new one back on. I used an oil filter wrench to get mine off as it was secured quite tightly. When I put the new one on, I just tightened it with my hand and didn't use the wrench, that way it will be easier to get it off next time.

Don't you need to bleed the fuel system then?

Fill the new filter with fuel before fitting

I believe the fuel system self bleeds to an extent, but you should leave the bleed screw undone on top of the fuel filter & manually pump the fuel pump until it starts coming out & then do up the bleed screw.
Sedimentor doesn't just twist undone though... there's a screw you have to release on top of it which holds it up.
There's no need to bleed the sedimentor.
Just let your engine tickover for a few minutes when you're done to make sure all the air's out the system... If it splutters or stalls within the first couple of minutes, that's fine.
