Hey I was driving a 96 Range Rover p38 2.5 jeep the other day and managed (dont ask) to break the oil sump....

How big of a job is it to replace it? Havent had a good look at it yet but I wouldnt think theres any need to remove the engine/ and or lower the suspension to take it out. Would one normally have to do this to replace the oil sump?


Anybody done this job before? Your advice would be appriciated!

Thanks

Sorry ya I know I know!!
I should not call it a jeep, just habit really, sorry!

As for the sump, well It is fairly well damaged as it managed to leave a good trail flowing behide it. It has filled a bucket or well part filled it!

How big a job do you reckon it is to change it? Could i manual pump up the front suspension therefore giving myself more space??

The mechanic says the engine may need to come out or the suspension to be droped in order to work with it! to be honest, i dont think thoes jobs are required. what you think?
It will cost over 400 euro to fix if I have to do either of the above.

Hard to say without seeing it. Really need to see the vehicle but good pictures would help.

Like any job if you've got the right tools and know what your doing its not a big job.

Just been out and looked at mine, it's behind the front axle, might foul the diff and the track rod but ought to wriggle out with the suspension raised to max height.

You are talking €uro's, where are you located?

I'm located in Sligo....

I hope it can, just to save time and money!

Currently my suspension is operated via manual pumping air into them via a standard air inlet(Same as you would use to pump up the tyres)
Been meaning to fix the suspension

So this basically means I can raise the vechicle higher than would otherwise be possible, I reckon this might do the trick. Figers crossed.#

I'm looking for a sump at the moment, may however have one sourced.
