Hi Folks,
To cut a long story short my car was in having new front tyres today at a tyre dealer and the ramp failed and dropped one side of the car down, we quickly got a jack under the front and rear but in the process of getting my car back down the front slipped off the jack and went through the 2nd underflow tray and damaged one side of the engine sump.
There are no leaks and I need to know if anyone has some pictures of the sump off with the oil pickup so I can try and determine if there is a chance of damage there, oil pressure is OK but a new sump is over a week away and I leave for Germany next week for the Ring! I only have crappy iphone pics of the damage at the moment so have just attached one, but would appreciate any of the engine tuners (I have PMed Nickto) could chime in with their thoughts, the sump has been "dished" in on the left hand side (as you look rear to front) but the centre section looks untouched and that is where I think the oil pickup sits ... so with luck I will be OK to still run the car hard across Europe.
