As i said previously i'm no mechanic, but entered into it with little knowledge of what was required, that and only a couple...

    Leaking sump on 100 series diesel !

    Not being a mechanic i probably didn't approach it the way they would. I just loosened the bits i needed to as and when i needed to, instead of taking off everything in one go.

    Replacing the engine sump pan

    Thanks for the reply Andy, but there is a new pan on its way over from the UAE. Will certainly try the fix you suggested to bide her over, but would still like to put the new one on in the summer. Could it be done from under the truck or is it not feasible? Carl
