'''HarryMann:''' As you have to change the sump, maybe a new oil pump might be advised, you have to change the oil pickup pipe over anyway, so a new 30mm Shadek pump from GSF is a good idea, just ask for the one for a T25, they're not a lot of money. | '''HarryMann:''' As you have to change the sump, maybe a new oil pump might be advised, you have to change the oil pickup pipe over anyway, so a new 30mm Shadek pump from GSF is a good idea, just ask for the one for a T25, they're not a lot of money.

Anon: I am changing my 1.6D for a 1Y, are there any particular things I should be aware of, other than fact I need to make sure the engine crank has a new spigot shaft bearing.
