Where's My Sump Guard Gone?
« on: 27 June 2008, 20:02:12 »
I went to change my front wheel on my bmw 525i sport and noticed my sump guard has gone. :-?

The sump guard is massive, i think i would know if it fell off. :y

It was there last month, where has it gone, would the MOT man took it off, he's the only person who has touched my car. :-?

Where has it gone? :-?

MOT testers are not required to dismantle anything - in fact, they are not allowed to - and anyway have no interest in doing so...

So I think one of them massive road bumps got it...?
