hi
im hoping that somebody might be able to help me with this.....
i have a nissan micra 2003 1.0, i went for an oil and filter change yesterday as i had a free voucher. when i went to pick my car up they told me that my sump is badly rusted and that i should think about getting it replaced and that it wasnt even worth doing the oil until it is.
i was then hit with the news that it would cost just under £300 to do this as uniparts do not make a sump for the k12 just the k11 (which is £50) and i would have to get it direct from nissan!!
i am trying to see if can source a cheaper one but i stll think its going to be pricey.
question is does anyone know where I can get one from that is cheaper????
also if i can get one how hard is it to replace? i know pretty much nothing about cars but my dad has very good knowledge, so if it is just a case of bolting a new one on then he should be ok.
any help would be greatly appreciated. :grinning:
