Hi David, sorry I posted so quick but I didn't think I would have sorted my problem so soon. Just to confirm though, the sump is still in the exact same rotation and configuration. What I have done is shorten the depth of the deep end and increase the depth on the low end which gave me more volume of oil in total by probably a litre. I do have the original oil cooler to connect to as well. The pick up was shortened by about 50mm. This should have fixed the problem and I will find out today when I do another trial fit.
Thankyou everyone for your help.
Colin.
