Its more fiddly than anything, There are some bolts on the sump that are awkward as hell on the gearbox side to get to, you'll need a wobble piece and a 10mm socket and bar and some gasket sealant as it doesn't have a gasket just don't go mad on the sealant or you'll find it in the sump next time blocking the pick up pipe.

+1 on the sealant

I bought a t handled balled allen key of ebay for a few quid did the trick great for them hidden bolts : ) 5mm ya need

Well those two bolts were a ball ache!

Changed the pipe and when refitting the sump the last bolt to do up fell and lodged between the flywheel and the sump so had to drop it again and re-seal! Lol

Cheers for the advice though, the pickup pipe looked slightly blocked. Sealant is drying now so will fill with oil later and hope it's sorted it.

Ahhhh same message displayed and the engine cut out twice on idle.... Any ideas? It's looking like an electrical fault for sure as my engine management fuse blew before.

Might be worth getting the oil pressure checked as the next step.

There are 2 pressure switches, one that operates below 200rpm and own that operates above, at the weekend we will do a compression test and if that's good we will change the lower pressure switch as it cuts out on idle say 1750rpm.... If that still doesn't work we can put a gauge in place of the switch and see what the pressure is like, I'll print the stuff off car data and we can have a crack, I find it hard to believe that the oil pressure goes and then is regained again... Not impossible but that's my opinion.

Then good wood Saturday

Looks like it, hopefully the pressures fine and it's just electrical! That being said though I hate electrical faults.
