Hiya guy's just after a bit of help! I'm going to change the engine oil in my 4x4 saph cosworth this afternoon, (for the first time) I've got the oil,filter and new sump bung I just wanted to know if it's easy to get to the sump bung or not? Just trying to save any nasty suprises so any help would be most appreciated!
Many thanks

Just had a quick look and as suspected the sump bung is not visable! I thought it was on the back end of the sump? Has anyone got any ideas??
Please help!
Thanks
Mike

I've had another look and it appears I dont have a sump bung it's been replaced with an adaptor and a hose running to the bottom of my oil separator, looks like its acting as a return to the sump from the oil separator! So now my question is... Can I just disconnect this (at the adaptor) to drain the oil?
Many Thanks
Mike

the sump plug is located on the nearside of the sump ..... 13mm spanner size like most fords of that year ... you have to remove the lower cover to see it ... 4.. 6mm bolts to remove .........
