The result was quite good, you can now remove and refit the undertray with ease, and check to make sure there are no hidden leaks while it is off.


Make sure you obtain a new sump plug washer, the part number is ALU1403.......I believe the V6 has the same washer as the diesel.


The only thing I will say, now this may be as a result of my car having a factory premium bumper fitted, you may need low entry ramps to clear the leading lower edge of the bumper.


Take care and have fun !!
Keep the same ramps to give you the height but put a bit of sturdy wood on the front of each to give you a gentle run up.

Sump washer. I'm not saying anything against you worthy suggestion.-- However, in 60 years of fiddling with cars I have NEVER fitted a new sump washer and there have been no oil leaks.---( lucky or what. Lol. )


Well done with the work on the under-tray. I see you take no prisoners.---
