But it'll be back in a few days, after new oil sump, oil and oil filter.
Getting new radiator done while its there as well as there is a tiny hole in it, so may as well get it done while its there. OUCH!!!!

Yeah I bet pulling off at a roundabout would be great fun!
Im guessing a pot hole or bump got the better of your sump then.

I towed my mate 3 times when he bust his sump. Although I used a tow pole. A lot easier, safer and legal  Would have though a 206 sump would be hard to hit as its level with the subframe anyway

looks lower then subframe on mine, my car was lowered 110mm so that may have something to do with it.

Pretty sure it's lower, hopefully mine won't get damaged but it probably will it's just a matter of time.

Ropes are good for tug of war though. done that before at the expense of my new tyres. Don't think you would have much of a chance with the land rover though
