   try euro car parts for all your bits. get a price off their website but that price is not set in stone as every time i have gone into the branch by me they always quote me a cheaper price than the website.
   
   ive never replaced the sump washer. only needs replacing if its all screwed up. just take off the old one and clean it with new oil. for the sake of £1-£2 tho u might aswell get a new one even tho i never have. i must be a cowboy lol
