Looking good mate :clap: , I had the oil light come on after about 30 ish miles on the old engine. When i removed that sump from it, there was a lot of thick gunk covering the sensor and all round it.

Excellent work Craig ! It's a shame though that not many people see all the hard work & upgrades you've done on your cars underside . At least you spoil the MOT inspector lol :-D


Praise the Lowered !
