Car I have is a Disco 1 300tdi 1997

I have oil dripping out of my handbrake drum so from what I've read I need a new transfer box output seal.

A few guides mention a felt washer but I can't find one to buy anywhere, just the seal.

Is this definitely the right one?

Does anyone know where I can get the felt washer from?

Cheers.

Ref teh seal, I got one recently, but I did purchase the Corteco one, as for the cost I wanted to have the "better" quality one.

Although if it really makes a difference is anyones guess.

Cheers

Cheers, I went with the cheap one, times are hard at the moment, only picked the Disco up yesterday and was hoping I wouldn't need to spend anything on it for at least a few months.

The oil dripping out of the drum looks like pond water so I think it needs doing asap.

Both diffs are leaking, steering box is leaking, gearbox is leaking, engine is leaking oil.
