01 1.4 Sump - Hutchy
Does anyone know anything about sumps as we have gone over a rock in the road and smashed a hole in it the size of your fist in the bottom of it. It looks like there are bolts on the bottom of the sump, maybe it has a bottom plate but i don't know anything about it. If i can just take off the bottom plate can i buy this seperately and can it just be sealed and replaced. Where is the best place to buy one. Any suggestions gratefully recieved!!!!

01 1.4 Sump - bell boy
is it made of alloy?
if it is then you unfortunately cant get to all the bolts without splitting the gearbox from the engine (so i seem to remember and been told)
if its a steel sump then they are fairly easy to take off
im pretty sure yours is alloy though so either a scrapyard part or main dealer
have you considered claiming on your car insurance if you can ?
