sold on an exchange basis for £175 plus £10 post ot £225 out right

 

pete roughly how much more oil will they take??? curious really but i will be after one in a couple of months once i have sorted a few other bits out.

 

Standard YB takes around 5 litres I think, a proper big wing can take double that!

My mates took 9 litres Dean!

 

a yb dont take that much...... from standard its more like 3.5 litres

 

sure mine takes 7.5l

 

3.4 litres with filter Did mine today thats how I know

 

its been two years but i havent forgotten that why they do the winged sumps as that really just isnt enough lol

 

My big wing sump takes just over 4 litres

 

The sumps look good, nicely engineered.

But 4 litres in a big wing, just over half a litre extra??

 

you sure euan????????

sure mine took alot more

 

mine takes 7.5 litres

 

Looks good,but is the wing on the starter motor side got a cut out in it so you can get the starter motor out easily? My one had big wings both side and you couldnt fit the starter motor,i now have a bit cut away so that the starter fits.

 

the starter fits fine who on earth would make a sump that the starter didnt fit in

 

I wont mention their name,but when i picked it up from them i mentioned it and they said we do them all like that and have no problems. Mind you there is less room in a mk2 escort with the world cup crossmember mounts being in the way.
The next time i went to the company they had started puting an angle on the wing to clear the starter motor lol

 

are these baffald or if not can they be?

 

yeah mines defo takes less than 5 litres.

 

Euan, yours is still the standard one..


I thought they took at least 7..

 

standard my arse

 

I knew you'd do that..

 

 

do u do 4x4 sumps?

 

So AVA do your oil changes for you too do they!!!!!!

I know you don't like fiddling with your car,but f*uck me your lazy!!!!!!!!

 

I change the oil in the street when I have the car but its at AVA and I wanted to swap to Silkolene so they did the change for me .

I do as much messing as I can but dont have alot of tools or space.
