lookin under the old girl this arvo sorting out shifter links and was laying there thinking "gee that sump looks like she need's some proctecting"

anyone have photo's of what they've done? (and then do I need to worry about heat?)

or is there no horror story's of auto sumps being gouged and I should use my time somewhere else?

Cheer's

I have never seen one on a Range Rover Classic or Disco.
The auto sump sits above the cross member and exhaust.
I have also never heard of anyone damaging one.

The auto sump is ok as mentioned its protected by the crossmember, but the handbrake drum needs some protection, on my rangie the handbrake is the lowest part of the car. I know it is solid as but as I have found out the casing on the VC isn't as strong. I hit/scrapped across a rock with the handbrake and split the housing on the viscous Coupling. Solved by fitting a LT230 but am looking into getting a bash plate for the handbrake etc
