I have already printed out a very helpful post by Treworgey....http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/how-replace-200-tdi-defender-front-shock-absorber-57044.html
I will be having a go at doing mine next week. The june issue of LRO international had a free video that showed how to change dampers and springs without spring compressors... they look a bit dangerous to me. I know nothing but I am watching and trying to learn.

bottle or trolley jack under the axle, jack up as high as possible. axle stand under the chassis then lower the axle as far as possible, without straining the brake flexi.
pry bar or big screwdriver under the bottom of the spring and pop it out.
simples.
refitting is the reverse.

What Trewy said.
I also needed a help from the Disco bottle jack between the axle and chassis to open it out a bit at the front (still got ARB's on) when I fitted HD springs .. there's some clearance and length on standard brake hoses, but it was close!
