Off to local Desira to get a new undertray fitted on my 156 2.0 - its hanging off and scrapping along the ground ! Poor thing has never had to suffer them before.... but its a bit far to Royston just for this. Surely Desira cant bugger up a simple job like this one.... ;) > Off to local Desira to get a new undertray fitted on my 156 2.0 - its > hanging off and scrapping along the ground !

Should I bother paying the £100 + or just leave it off ? You'd be better off getting a ali one .... zeatek make them for 147 euros for most models including P&P!. They sit slightly higher, use the same fittings and don't break on impact with the first sleeping policeman .... and 147 is approx £100! You'll need to get it fitted though or diy. Should you fit one? I'd say yes. It keeps the engine compartment much cleaner, stops water getting throw up into the engine bay and does offer some protection on bumps. Now the tray is off you will be able to see the bridging piece between the engine and gearbox. Actually that bolts onto an aluminium sump ... whack that and you lose the sump, the oil and ...... ouch! BTW If you fit the ali undertray, that has to come off. |
