Hi! If it's not one thing it's another.

My 96 MY 855 T5 automatic appears to have sprung a (getting worse!) leak from the rear main crank seal.

I've never enen comtemplating gearbox removal - looks tight and heavy going - I understand this failure is fairly common....??

Any hits/tips much appreciated.

Car has only done 60k miles and always seems to have some problem - yet my wife's 855 2.5 10 valve has done 147k no problem.

Worst car out of all the 200, 700 and 900 series we've owned (though the 900 wa pretty bad). Do Ford's make them better...........?

Any way, many thanks,

Kevin
