soz mate it will be a trip to your local ford garage and they dont normally keep them in so allow 2/3 day for the part to turn up you will also need new gear box oil mtf94 which is 25+vat oil seal about 15+vat

does that mean i can get the part from a ford dealer? if so what ford is the gearbox used on????

The ZR160 gearbox is a PG1 which was a Honda part originally, not Ford based.

I think it was the 1.4 Zr105's that used the Ford IB5 'box when the R65 box stopped being used

Can`t be too difficult. All XPart dealers will be happy to sell those, If I`m not contact with Rally Matt and if Idon`t have any time to wait , I do use for immediate delivery Eliseparts.com . Just two post days up to Finland.

Eliseparts is easy for modern young customers, no need to speak English to anyone. Just order and pay them in Internet.:gfight:

For RHD side is also possible to use std shape oil seal from local tool or bearing shop. Even most car part dealers do have them in stock. At least in here.
Can`t remember actual code for the size, but do have several at home if you still do need an alternative I can post numbers later in this afternoon.
