sump removal
on a 2000 classic x reg is this fairly easy to do? just taken off my undertray to find corrosion and when i poked it gently my finger ended up inside the engine!!! rusted right through!
any idea of cost of this item? or is it worth getting it to a garage??
cheers guys ASAP

Well if you've already made a hole in it then presumably oil drainage is taken car of. Just undo the bolts, knock it on the side a few times with a rubber mallet and off it comes. Replace for £10-£20 second hand - try ebay or on here.

Not sure about the classic but on the newage it involves lifting the engine up 3 inches to get to the rear sump bolts. It is nigh on impossible to get to these without doing this and the time taken to lift the engine will be less than stuggling.
Subaru and top tuners recommend Threebond 1215 for the sealant. It is yukky stuff and be prepared to get it everywhere even if you are the cleanest person in the world

The two engine mount bolts underneath, the rear dogbone shaped mount and intercooler pipework if you have a fmic. You will need to strap around the inlet manifold to lift it most probably. Needs to go up about 2 inches so that you can get your hand under the back section.

What are you going to jack it up on - the sump wont be there?
It needs to be lifted.
And exhaust headers needed to come off on mine to get the sump around the pick-up pipe. You might not need to do that on a classic I dont know.

have you got a local garage...
No help now, but most will have an engine lift / support which is a bar which will sit in the wing sill's...
Offer them £10 or £20 to hire it for a few hours if there not using it, a cheque to cover replacing it may swing it, but this should lift your engine enough and make life a little easier...
Dont forget to get your cheque back when you return it...
