Yoooo welcome to the world of the low daily!
It's always been low, but now a smidge too low for that sump IMO.
yep always been sat on its ass
can't raise engine, as you say we mentioned this before. i don't have the clearance topside due to bonnet..
only options i have are
1: raise car (not gonna happen as it would need to be raised lots to make it worthwhile and i will then look gay)
2; shallow sump (Big No No)
3 Remove engine and fit 8v (what nightmares are made of and never gonna happen
4; modify the sump to make it stronger
number 4 wins for now
