The genuine Ford sump gasket is shit. They seem to have gone away from Payen for manufacturing those.
Stick to Payen, you'd be amazed at the difference in the quality of the rubber between them.

My mate said the best way to do them so you know the gasket is fitted rigth is to take the gearbox out.

Truthfully, the best way is to take the
engine out in all honesty.

use old sump bolts with their heads cut off as studs to locate it - much easier then.

i find it easier if u use spray glue to hold the gasket to the sump, then leave overnight and it wont budge when u try to manouver it into position
