oil seal doesnt fit

leaking front seal out of transfer box on S3 . ordered a new one (Paddock) yep and you guessed it they sent the wrong thing again. They sent me one which is 2" dia and the one i removed is 2.5". called them and some bloke assured me its the right one nd the only one they sell for the front of the transfer box and i must have an one. can anyone tell me if the output shaft on the transfer box changed throughout the Series LR's cos i think this bozzo is wrong?

I can only find one, What number have they sent?

they sent me one marked 35-50-10 which apart from being way too small is also metric and clearly not of LR origin.
I have removed a seal which is marked 250-161-16-4b
250 being 2.5" and 161 being 1.61".

Sorry, can't help with those numbers.
I reckon the LR part number was FRC1780, but I don't have access to supersessions, so it may have changed.
Not surprisingly it's the same as the rear one behind the handbrake.

I wouldnt bother with paddock they are crap. i've had all my seals off land rover and they were dirt cheap the diff and transfer are all the same if i can remember.

they werent on my S3.

diff seals were part number frc4586. Rear Tbox seal was part number frc1780. T|hats the same as DaveC mentioned above.

Aye wot whoeveritwas sez about Haddocks seals. Take yer owld un to a bearing an seal stockist an get a decent one, it might cost more but it'll be cheaper in the long run. Just fer interest try getting a price for the OEM one from your local Landy place you might be surprised.

got it sorted with the right OEM seal from the proper shop.
Paddocks are crap!!

They do have some uses but OEM stuff int always as expensive as you might think.
