And heading to Repco is harder than clicking on the Add to Cart button on a website when purchasing a whole heap of other parts such as fuel pipes and intake manifolds. It didn’t even increase my shipping cost to include.
My point of comment was that yes, some people will ship fluids internationally and DHL seems ok to do it. I didn’t ship a single container of brake fluid from the UK as that would be insane.

Advanced Factors also use DHL, and they definitely declare it correctly as there's a packing list attached to the outside of the box with 2L of oil clearly marked. Worth getting next time you need to order something from the UK as by itself the shipping is expensive, but when ordered with other parts you pay next to no extra.

Very easy Scott, you do need to climb underneath though, so i just put it to off-road height, threw some jack stands under the rock sliders, chocked the wheels (as i wasn't sure if turning the park brake on would affect it) and climbed under. It the solenoid with the 2 exposed wires running to the plug. I can get a photo when i get home next week if you want?

Mention the wires as it's the one thing underneath I thought might get snagged when i bought the car so I put some cable conduit over.

That’s good to know.

Interesting, did you check the mounting rubber for the Transfer Case and also engine mounts?
BTW does anyone know the torque setting of the bolt that holds the Transfer case to the cross member? After my recent transmission work, I torqued it up to 100Nm because I couldn’t find a spec setting anywhere. Same for the crossmember to body bolts, i torqued them to 120Nm. All these bolts are grade 10.9. Couldn’t find a spec anywhere. No issues or rattles, but want to be sure.

did not have to recalibrate the Transfer case either after the oil change.
