I bought a timing cover and sump from tpuk and am surprised at the quality, the sump is thick metal and heavy, not fitted that yet but did the timing cover and am very happy with it.
Didn't use the included gaskets tho , i bought 2 tubes of sealant from Ford.

Thanks for replies guys. Just thought it might of been too good to be true as I was getting quotes from breakers yards fir more than what this is brand new. Would be tempted to go for the sealant though as thts how they were originally put on eh. Is it much bother to get off. I know I've got the crossmember to deal with but my main concern, and thus us something I always tend to do, is knocking the heads on the bolts or snapping them. Is anybody here local to me. I'm in Gateshead n would love for someone just to be there for the crack if nowt else while I attempt it. Also I have a power steering leak n need help with finding out what I need to fix this, thanks again

We sell loads of sumps and timing covers. They are very good quality compared to most aftermarket products out there!

Thank you for your custom guys!
