Steve Q Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Well crap, there goes the sump 🤦♂️ on the plus side at least the car is drained of oil for its service which is due In the next 3 weeks. Plus the underside is well oiled, which should prevent rust for the next 10 years 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, no the sump won't affect the block as they are designed to collapse/break first the crank sits just at the top of the oil bath so unless you have shoved it right up there will be no real complications, sorry to hear this.

Steve. Thanks Steve, it's definitely just cracked and holed. Not bent in so hopefully it'll be ok. I won't be surprised if I did other damage to the running gear or suspension. I won't know untill the garage can inspect it thoroughly later in the week. The suspense is killing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I hope the garage does get it repaired soon, unless of course there is also some difficulty finding a replacement sump. p.s. couldn't help but notice the rear end of a Rover 75, just thinking I haven't seen one on the road in ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
