No one in their right mind would drive around like that! One speed bump and it's gone.

this is how low my van is at the minute. it's been like this since I've had it. I reckon it's -70mm. Does that sound/look right?
I've had a tdi conversion and the sump picture is how it came back. Previous Engine wasn't that low.

Did they tilt the engine at the wrong angle then? It looks a bit suspect to me.

yes, its been fitted at 0 degrees instead of 15.
I think it's shocking, but need to get a feel for what others think before I decide what to do about it

If think your only options are to either give it back to him to change everything to 15 degree. Or source a 15 degree "kit" fom America and change it yourself. Hopefully most of the hoses and pipes will stretch that bit extra.

That explains part of it then....whatever sump it is its simply not practical.
