URGENT Wanted - Xflow sump 1.3
Hi all,
came home today looking forward to a trip in the car and taking a mate out, and noticed a large patch of oil on garage floor.
It appears I've holed to sump!
so wanted is a sump for my 1.3 flow.
cash waiting.
Many thanks

if you are handly with the wlder, they you could weld a thicker bottom plate and move the sump plug to the side.
halfords sell a variety of sump plugs, weld in a nut on the inside and job done - the copper washer would do the sealing - and before any one say it.,
it does work as I did this on my v8 sump for a oil temp sender.

Hi Pete, many thanks for the offer, but Mine is from a Escort RWD, and I suspect the sunps are different.
Unless someone can confirm different??? (please)

Yes they are slightly different , the fiesta one is a front bowl and the mounting holes are slighly different so would need a fiesta type timing
cover, which in turn needs the correct fiesta cam sprockets or else they wear through the timing case as soon as the tensioner wears a bit, guess how
i found out.
