according to the WM you can disconnect this pipe to drain the oil rather than using a vacuum..

If you do drain the oil this way, please take some photos and add any tips to this post.

I have recently bought a 'Draper Expert' vacuum pump from machine mart. 95.00. Its a 10 litre capacity manual or pneumatic and is so easy to use. Plugged in my compressor and away it went - extracted 9.5 litres i about 2 mins. An oil change on my 4.4TDV8 took 10 mins and was so simple.

Macca PM sent but essentially the Draper comes with a flexi tube that fits snuggly over the (6mm?) engine outlet.

... and having serviced Marine diesels for quite a few years with no sump drains (normal for marine), I can say that the right oil extractor is worth it's weight. So if there is one that works well stick to that.

My job for today, but note these pictures relate to the 4.4tdv8, as per the original thread title.

Mike, I see your oil level is at "max" and the engine temp. is just warm, when engine reaches full working temperature oil level is going to be two maybe 3 nocis over "max". get the engine to working temp. and check the oil level ( wait minimum of 25~30 sec. for level to give right reading).
