Thread: Att! 2007 Defender engine sump gets damaged

whoa ....that look like the uni to the front diff hits the sump on full LHS suspension compression ........

Oops thats not like LR to design a fault into a car

There must be more than one fault

Holy dooly, was there any mods done to the suspension from factory such as longer shocks.

Er, unless I am very mistaken, the drive shaft goes only up and down, not side to side by about 80MM.
Thats why there are chamfers.

He has hit what is technically called "a rock". The damage even looks like it was caused by a rock.
Unless the engine mounts are so loose it can move about 80MM sideways.
But what part of a Yolk is sharp enough to put punture holes in a sump?

Supposedly Land Rover Germany has issued a statement that a replacement sump (different shape), providing more clearance will be available in mid to late November.

The truck in the photo was lifted, but apparently that was not the issue. The same thing happened to a number of others with stock configuration.

There is some discussion as to weather this problem is unique to left hand drive '07 Defenders or not.

It goes thus very closely too with the Td4 at the oil pan."

moment times..., cannot be nevertheless.

what should that be original for a long time panhardstab to it debt?

in former times everything was better!

Back to Peter:
It is the cardan shaft laterally into the tub strikes.

M.E. does not go the Panhardstab yet over the zero point if it hits.

I had know-eat from several such damage only THESE gave it with pictures.

Since need it and one will see on which it to remachining runs out. I have tomorrow a Td4 in the workshop and times a pair thought on this topic will waste.

Perhaps there is soon a hp oil pan.....

Nah... There's more to it than just being under full articulation.

I get the impression that Peter has lifted his vehicle and didn't put in a longer (or adjustable) panhard rod.

With the vehicle on full articulation the original panhard has pulled the double cardan joint into the sump.

Goes to show you can't lift the vehicle without setting-up everything properly.
