The oil pump is level with the bottom of the block not in the sump.

Well you might be lucky and someone on here knows of one!
Otherwise I use ebay to track down people breaking Pugs and contact them, or there are specialist breakers ... try google.
You tell them what you want and wait for the calls. There are a few sites like that. Last edited by gazza82 on Wed May 02, 2012 2:49 pm; edited 1 time in total

#24: Re: just had a bad accident Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Wed May 02, 2012 2:54 pm ---- i wouldn't say its that low tbh, I'm going to ring them up tomorrow and see what they say about it!

#26: Re: just had a bad accident Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Wed May 02, 2012 3:25 pm ---- i hit it at about 25 like any other speed bump "/
#27: Re: just had a bad accident Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Wed May 02, 2012 3:50 pm ---- Ouch. I did this on my old Capri and couldn't claim as the car had been lowered. However my engine was fine and it had been running about ten seconds afterwards. I sourced a replacement sump from a knackered engine that was being scrapped and swapped them over. Did the job. Now I know that was a older engine with but theoretically because you turned it off do quick I would say the chance of major damage would be slim. Also 25mph over a speedbump, I take them nice and slow lol. Already lost a piece of exhaust a few weeks ago and after seeing that I will be going even bloody slower now.
