Hi all again, just filled the gearbox with new oil - first time since engine out over a year ago. I had the speedo cog out and associated bits, cleaned and checked them whilst everything on the bench. Now the oil’s in there’s a leak from the seal of the aluminium plug that the speedo drive goes through. I can’t rely/hope that when the 'box heats up with use the seal will swell and everything will cure itself so I’m draining the oil to replace the seal over the weekend.
Anyone know if this part is a straight forward regular size rubber seal, or an order from Ford/Lotus dealer?
'Suppose I’ll know when I get it out!
Just wondered if anyone would say ‘Oh yes that, it’s 1 [size=75]1/2[/size] inch rubber O seal from Halfords’
Thanks
Paul
