I am sooooo glad Rover used a good steel sump on the V8 ! I was unable to avoid a (luckily round) large stone/rock that fell off a trailer in front. BIG bang. A slight dent but no leaks. It missed the drain plug. No oil pressure loss as the oil take-p inside not affected. Yippee for a pressed steel steel sump not a less ductile cast aluminium.
