Any advice before I have to sit and watch the !Removed! x factor with the wife!!

Best advice I can give is not to watch the X Factor. Ever!!

You seem to have it covered already. It's a simple job, just a bit fiddly getting the fresh oil into the diff so maybe find yourself some sort of tube or pipe to help. You've already mentioned the most inportant bit... Always undo the top first. And yes, it's full when the level reaches the top hole.
