I damaged the plastic sump guard on the V40 today, and need a replacement. Can pick up from Canberra or Sydney regions. Thanks

I've been hoarding moderately broken ones in the hope that I can piece them together into something usable...

No worries. I might be able to salvage it yet. It's bent on the drivers side. I've popped most of it back into shape but it's hanging 5 or so cm down

Sounds like an aluminium one is needed.
Beware the plastic has possibly lost its integrity now affording less protection.
Maybe stiffen it up with aluminium strips?
paul0075
Could be an idea. The set up definitely needs to have something there, the filter and sump are fully exposed otherwise.

If I can get someone local(ish) to spend a couple of afternoons with me, over a couple of weekends, I'll make up a template and make some up.

Sounds good, what price range do you think they'd sit in?
AshDVS
Hard to know without having a proper look.
Let's say somewhere between $100 and $300 depending on complexity of shape and folds.

@AshDVS I have a 2003 V40 I am wrecking so it never moves anywhere, does run and drive but not well enough to make it to Geelong. Still though, happy to work something out if you're keen on trying to make some aluminium sump trays. I'd like to buy one if you do for my sisters 2003 V40.

Tell me more about the 03 V40!
