Yes its just a little tricky over the top of the chassis.....make sure you cap the ends of all pipes until there in place.

It would be a nightmare to get the pipes routed correctly and clipped to the rear tank crossmember - I wouldn't even contemplate it. The pipes have to be routed exactly right, or they will rub on various metal components and eventually leak. There was a recall on the TD5 Disco's because of this - one pipe rubbing on the chassis and eventually leaking. I strongly advise you to drop the tank and do it 'properly' or you will regret it.

I had a major leak done on mine under warranty, i was told it was another common fault where the pipe rubs and wears, the diesel was squirting all over the rear window.
