At first I wasn't sure what to make of the lens being glued on, but at least you don't need to take the roof off to get to mounting screws lol. For the tail light lens on my last car the bumper had to come off.

Does your LR4 have the HD package? Am I right in thinking that would be the only way the rear diff would have a motor?
I’m not up on all the different specs but I believe you are correct.

@Aderry late to the game here, I’ve been fully immersed in the Grenadier world.
I’ve had the same issue before. The actuator stepper motor can get stuck. Give it a slight tap with a mallet and see if it frees up. After that you’ll have to put the rear diff through a calibration test to reset everything. The clear any remaining codes.
Each startup the rear diff opens and closes and if the software detects any problem then it effectively tags out and you lose the air suspension, abs and traction control etc.
I’ve used a cheapie bay motor before. Just be mindful that the Land Rover one has a bronze gear wheel on the actuator and the eBay ones are steel. It’s a very easy thing to change over if you need. Just make sure you have the correct sealant to hand as there is no formal gasket. Just sealant with the metal on metal assembly.
The entire assembly is held on with 4 Allen head screws. 6mm I think. The hardest part is removing the electrical connector and jiggling the motor assembly out of the diff and from under the car. It’s tight in there.
