Hi everyone.

The handbrake is not working on my Land Rover and there is a lot of oil leaking around the back of the gearbox where the handbrake is, after reading another post i thought it may be the gearbox output seal? if it is is it an easy fix and if so what do i need to know and how to replace it? and where could i buy one? (note i live in Australia) Also is this a common problem and what is it caused by?

thanks

Worth picking up the genuine green workshop manual on Fleabay. The seal isn't difficult to do.
