Default new cossie problems!

Firstly half the dipstick has broken off and droped into the sump! Does anyone know if the sump will come off without fouling the crossmember???

Also the breather system seems to have been messed around with, how many hoses should come out of the kidney box next to the oil filter? I have one coming up to one of those mini K&N's and one coming out of the bottom which the has been pluged with a bolt, is this anywhere near right?

any help is greatly appreciated

You will have to drop the X member to remove the sump.

The breather normally has one pipe coming out of the top of the oil separator which feeds into a NRV and then into the inlet manifold. Sounds like yours has been messed around with !

Thanks Mike, off the crossmember comes then

I'm going to ditch the whole breather system and fit the nice new bailey one I've bought
