Good reply DaveW,
the problem wont go away until some grey matter is awakened.
It affects so many cars I am surprised that it has not been tackled seriously before?
I personally would not buy a car with a low sump like that.Period.
Love is blind when buying a car and I understand the emotions involved.
But that low sump is a corker and needs to be addressed in the fullness of time.
After all the high gate stoppers in merry ole England are not going to be removed any time soon and probably never!
In fact the speed bums are getting higher by the day.
Pity we could not fit air bags and just pump up the Moggie when needed?
