Zetec - MT75, starter motor hitting sump?
Has anyone had any issues with the starter motor hitting the sump?
My sump (1.8 mondeo) has a bossing or bulge on the side which is preventing me from fitting the starter motor 
Cheers

I cut that section out and ad a plate welded inside the sump, initiallty tried grinding it dow but still not enough clearance
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

As said you need to grind the sump to give clearance for starter.
