Me and the valver have just had an altercation with a roundabout curb.

I was approaching the round about at normal speed slowing from 50 to 20 ish when i hit ice. I went straight accross the roundabout leaving my sump behind me. Killed my front suspension too.

So now its sat outside a garage a waiting a full report. Could be a right off or could be a 2.0l bottom end and willy track time!

gutted for you fella, english weather is a shitter! if you need a cheap valver b/e with new shells and oil pump cheap let me know, all that needs doing is the sump sealing properly and the cranshaft oil seal doing. its only 800miles old too :wink:

I managed to turn round in my mates street just by applying a bit of handbrake. This was a normal "just wide enough for 2 cars" street covered in frost lol. Brakes wouldn't work either as the ABS just came on lol.

Bad luck anyway fella

See ya

when i cracked my sump i used metal paste to cover the join which was a 50p sized hole.. the pasted held for 30k.. and was still in place when i carried out 2l conversion.

Cars back.

Sump was done the same way gunner said.

Steering has been striped down and rebuilt.

Good as New :D
