Sumped out on the way to work this morning!

[Anim@l]

I went through the lanes to avoid some roadworks this morning and now I wish I hadn't! I hit what only looked like a brick in th road, but only saw it at the last second, so i couldn't avoid it. I'm off to rob a bank to pay for it now! I had an impromptue (sp) day off, but believe me I'd rather be in work! :dapprove:

That won't be cheap if you can't do it yourself, the subframe has to be dropped to change the sump.

He probably was feeling a bit guilty for leaving his brick in the middle of the road. :clown:

On a more serious note it shouldnt be too hard to fix, need a new 2nd hand sump, a new gasket and some oil.

 

[tyni_clio]

[Little Newms]

Same happened to me and my Cup.... Was following a tractor and what looked like mud that fell of was actually a rock covered in mud. Wack!

You doing the work yourself?

I remember the subframe had to be droped a few cm in order to get the old sump of and the new one on.

A much easier job than you think tho!

I lol'd at that. In all seriousness it sucks when you see the blood of a car spill like that.
Also you should be careful accepting drink of an old man, could have drugged it. Not sore anywhere are you

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm assuming this is why i saw you in Renault today then steve??

That does not look good.

Thought you looked pissed off. Thats why i avoided any conversation, thought you'd just had a row with the service department! lol

 

[Anim@l]

Gutted, for you mate!! Top bloke with the Brew though...! Are you sure you were in Britain...!

Pmsl! Yeah, I had to do a double-take!
