Default 4x4 Gearbox oil seals, where from?

Box is leaking from every orifice known to man
Need to replace the seals for the front and rear output shafts, where can I get them from? Are these the right ones?

I'll try Ford today but my local dealer are beyond useless, there's only one long serving guy that actually knows what he's talikng a about so it s a bit of a lottery who you get to deal with. usually I get the ridiculous shit like
"is it twin cam, is it 16v, is it a turbo, what year, is it 4 wheels drive etc etc" fuck me it's painful.... Then when you get told it's not listed you don't believe them because they've already proved they know feck all.

Just went to collect the two seals from Ford, they had to order them and couldnt give me a price yesterday, anyway when i went to pay for them it was 52 quid!!!! Needles to say i said just forget about it.
Called Gears the other day like you suggested, he uses these seals instead and they're easier to get and far cheaper!!!!!
i think ones out a Focus and the other a fiesta.

The only problem with buing seals from a car dealership, is that they have been sitting in a wharehouse for a good number of years and might be getting hard. When I got a wheel bearing for my mk2 escort's rear axle, from Ford, after putting it on it was leaking just as bad as before. Of course these is a big difference in the age, but when I got the seal off I went to a shop that does hydraylics stuff and got a new one from them
