Anyone know how much a sump would cost for a 1.8 Marea?
Just smashed a hole in mine on a speed hump.

NO to sure brand new but no doubt will be expensive.. I'd suggest to hit a scrappy....

Lot of scrappies dont like splitting parts off good engines. My other option is to use this as an excess to fit my Sedici 16v motor in but I'm not 100% sure it will fit the gearbox.

Eper says £180 for a new one.
I just changed mine on my TD, same thing hit it on a frickin speed hump. Front drivers side corner.
I managed to get one for £45 delivered. Its a bit of a pig of a job to do. Wasnt sure if the gearbox had to come out or at least be loosened off to do it, but thankfully it didnt. The rear/bottom engine mount has to come off and a few other bits that bolt to the sump, then theres a dust plate between the gearbox and engine, theres two rubber grommets in it that give you access to the two torx bolts that side of the sump. The front ones easy but the rear one was tricky, I couldnt get lined up on it right and had to bend the dust cover out of the way, I couldnt get the tool in there either and it took some doing to track down one long and thin enough to get in there. I think it might have been a T35 but a normal one on a small socket wont go, it has to be a long torx drive (about 8 inches) to fit in the gap. It might be easier on yours, the TD had a lump of metal on the gearbox that turned it into a hard job.
I'd get under it and have a good look at it, if it hasnt cracked too much (mine had) I'd be tempted to clean it up and tow it somewhere that could ally weld it.
Good luck finding one, as said they wont want to split a good engine and cant be bothered removing the sump from a knackered one unless they happen to have the engine out already.

Thanks. Its a hole over a inch big so a weld is out of the question. I'll price one at my local dealer and see what they can do for trade but if its going to be that much I'll think I'll attempt the engine change instead.
