Definitely worth doing if your going to continue driving the car. Agree that filled for life is rubbish!!!
I own a Bora 4 motion also they advise a haldex change but diff oil is filled for life. I've Always changed it on a major.

Give it a good 20 min drive first get it nice and warm for draining, that way ur sure to get all the old oil out

You need to take the gear selector pin out to get all the oil out
