Smashed my sump last night.

[Harry_manback]

came to a junction, brakes failed, went stright over into some farmers track,

this is the result

anyone changed a sump before or know anyone who has, i have all the nuts and bolts out its just a pain in the arse because of the sub frame, can this be done without taking the engine out???

help is needed urgently!!!


####edit####
forget to say that the oil pump extraction pipe thing with the mesh over it, ended up on the road as well!

[Timmay]

[bmh.01]

The subframe isn't that difficult to get off on the pro side. Just a pain in the arse that you have to do it.

 

[Fred@BTM]

its not a subframe off job! bit fiddly to do, but the subframe can stay where it is

what engine?

 

[Harry_manback]

1.4 16v
just got the old sump off, pain in the arse, had to undo the oil pump through the hole in the sump, gonna be hard to put back on tmw!

 

[Harry_manback]

Damn, tahts a pain in the ass. Any idea why the brakes failes? Overheated and faded?

looks like they have only been working on a small area of the disk, dunno why i would cut out so bad though!

 

[Neil G]

Looks bad but it could have been worse if you had hit someone else etc

Hope you get it sorted

 

[Gaz]

eeerrrrmmmm oops doesnt look too good

 

[Harry_manback]

Ok tonights damage!

sump, managed to get off without taking the subframe off.

this is what i found on the road last night

it should be attached to this inside the sump

hole caused by fire, when my lamp got to hot.

looking battered

hole in subframe

bottom of the engine

engine hoist, legend!

from scrappers new sumps £45 + vat and oil pump is £35+vat.
any ideas about the prices from renault.

im gonna need some new brakes as well i rekon!

 

[Gaz]

think of a number and triple it from reno

 

[cookiemo]

Ooo.. thats nasty. If I was you I'd check the engine mounts carefully too.

 

[Harry_manback]

u know what im looked for as they are all off !!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

sump is around £180 IIRC

 

[al]

Good job you've an idea what your doing dave!

 

[Harry_manback]

Good job you've an idea what your doing dave!

its only nuts and bolts, whats the worst that can happen?
untill it comes to rebuilding it right!!!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

See told you to have faith! Looks Like no further damage than what we saw at the scene was done. I would say you got off lucky, what about the track rod? alright? or just how it looked on the recovery truck?

Lol! I know where to come when I get some new brakepads then

Swap for a PC'ing

 

[al]

Speaking of which, how about we find a day when we can do both at the same time? I can fetch all my stuff through if either of you have somewhere indoor we could do it.

 

[Harry_manback]

yeh, brakes are piss easy, i wish i had done my own at least id know they f**king worked!

the only reason i get a service is because of the stamp in the book, look where thats got me!

 

[chrisg3110]

Unlucky

 

[ChrisE]

not good mate

 

[S Garbett]

looks like you have got stuck in big time and starting to get it fixed!

good luck matey

 

[BenR]

was gonna say, new oilpump time!

They are about £150 from ren, and despite being expensive, they are effectively your engines heart......loose oil flow and loose the engine, not worth taking a second hand item eventhough it'll probably be fine.

Sump is fine to run a s/h one.

 

[tim124]

how long did it run with no oil/oil pump?

 

[Winston]

Holey s**t!!!!!

Thats not nice

If u get it serviced at a dealer, they sometimes put an apprentice on it or someone who just wants to boost their days wages. A brake check is sometimes only a kick on the tyres. Good luck m8, anyway, at least ur alright!

 

[Harry_manback]

how long did it run with no oil/oil pump?

about 2 1/2 seconds from impact.

 

[Leeshez]

I would get sump from scrappy and pump from a motor factors.

 

[Ali]

doh!
