Hiya
Replacing the driver side oil seal in the gearbox where the driveshaft goes in, prized old one out and buggered the metal holder jobby - now trying to get a replacement but buggered if I know what it is (so I can't search for it) the metal cup thing the seal sits in, might have to try and bodge it....
Any info greatly appreciated

It would help if you said which gearbox you have, (or which engine, as HDi 90's & 110's have different 'boxes).

(Could be an ML5C or ML5T 'box, but if it's no. 1, it's the same for either):

Can't see the bit - how best to describe it - when you jemmy out the seal with the white fringe it sits inside a metal housing with a lip running inside that the seal groove on back sits on and it has a larger diameter flat lip and you put the seal into the housing and the housing into the appeture where the driveshaft will go into through the seal... if that makes any sense

Doesn't look like it's available separately - I think it's part of the 'Housing cap' assembly, item 1 on the Service Box screen dump??

what you need to be asking for is a drivers side drive shaft oil seal for your make and model of car
