300TDi Main oil seal (another one!)

Hi,

Drip drip drip, from the bell housing steadily getting worse, so I think its time to get the seal replaced. Its not a job I fancy doing myself, can anyone recommend a decent garage in the Teesside area, the chap I would have used at Redcar has shut up shop.

Cheers

Cant help with a recommendation but also worth factoring in a clutch + release arm change unless it is very recent, saves time/money in the long run if it were to go in the near future.

Thanks, yes I was thinking clutch or a least get it checked, big service and waxoyl, all the oily bits first before replacing the much needed rear door!

Thats what i said and it turned into a gearbox and transfer box overhaul, while it was out! rear x member and on and on and on...............................................

Ok just got a quote back from Durham 4x4, it's around £800 for a big service including belt, new clutch, hd arm and fitting the new rear oil seal, seems ok to me, yes I could save a small fortune doing it myself but I am busy busy at the moment. Are they any good? Has anyone used them before?
I am still waiting for a garage (AMR autos) a bit closer to home to get back to me, anyone used them before?

Cheers
