Sump Removal / Replacement

[Mirez]

To complete the alhambra cluster conversion I need to install the oil temp/level sender unit in the sump. I've got a new sump complete with sender from the same year so its a simple swap out job.

 

My questions are:

 

First, is there anything blocking the sump or is it just unbolt and remove? No dropping of the exhaust or anything?

 

Second, there are lots of seals/gasket kits available to buy yet ford don't show the TDI as having a gasket fitted to the sump - instead they use "1197787, Sump Pan Sealer" thoughts on whats best?

 

Third, they show a baffle plate fitted? Don't have one on the new sump so I'll use the old one but where's it mount to as there arn't any fixings?

 

Finally, I was told there was a gauze fitted to the oil pickup tube yet I can't find that on the parts catalogue? Anyone got a number?

 

Thanks!
