Their remedy is to replace the transfer case [something they do frequently with Land Rovers and have had to do with X3s] to the tune of five hours plus parts, e.g. $3500. I'll get a second opinion Monday, and haven't yet checked for the signature 'click' of transfer case actuator/plastic drive wheel failure. Regardless, I'm not motivated to try the $3500 solution, and will continue to research, but would appreciate any direct links [beyond what's in this thread] to a DIY or how-to for transfer case/actuator fixes. Thanks in advance.
Took mine to local transmission shop since a new gear didn't fix the 4x4 light, and they are telling me same, rebuild transfer case at $3-4K. I told them no way. They are going to look for a used one, and give me a price to R&R.

Been reading more threads, and learned something new. Transfer case fluid is supposed to be replaced. Any chance a fluid change might solve the 4x4 light issue? ECS sells a kit for $66... if there's a chance.
