that makes perfect sense. thanks. i mailed spud and kind of got the idea of it from him as well. i have been looking into this a bit moor and i think an e36 sump is going to solve all my problems. just need to find one that is not £70 now. and make a new oil pickup. not beyond me i dont think
so i guess will be buying one of them to but i will try first.
thanks for the help chaps. (are there any chapesses on hear)
