I'm about to start on the rear end, am I correct in thinking that the output shaft seals are the later model XJ6 type that can be replaced with replacing the complete bearing carrier link

Not unless your diff is a lot later than the one fitted to most wedges!
Try the XJ6 Series 2, the seal you've linked to looks nothing like the ones I changed (and it means a full stripdown of each output 'stub' axle to swap them).
Thanks ian, found a kit on flea bay listed for 350i / 400 including all three seals and a gasket, just need to translate the listing as it's German!

Cheers Ian,

Missed that listing !

I'd also stuck it into google translate, I use it a lot to find out what our customers are saying before the local offices translate only half the details !
