Anyway, we swapped over and I set off around the car park, went up a small bump in the road, about 1/4 of the size of a speedbump at about 10mph (I've driven over this very spot in my Mini at 30mph before and nothing has ever happened) and BANG, wondering what the hell had happened I drove back over to my friend and switched the engine off.
I got on my hands and knees and discovered that the sump had hit the ground and was now very slowly dripping oil. Now I couldn't understand how the hell this had happened but on closer inspection I noticed his rubber doughnuts have completely collapsed and the cars suspension is sat on the bump stops. Due to this it's obvious that if I hadn't have caught the sump, he would have done on a speedbump later on anyway and he's admitted this but I still feel incredibly guilty about the whole thing.
He keeps saying it doesn't matter (he was intending to convert to manual anyway, just not this soon) but it's not making me feel any less guilty. I'm going to sort this out and then I'm never driving anyone elses car again.
