just did mine and there is a trick to fitting it. first you put a bead of sealer around the sump and around each screw hole. it needs to be about 6mm think all round and then wait 15 minutes for it to start to dry before you fit it. and after it should be tightend up all round the same working from one screw clockwise. should work a treat

Yeah, there's not an oil pan -> sump gasket on that car, you just have to use sealer. As Jay said, there's a particular way to apply it, and you have to wait for it to 'go off' a little bit before you throw it all together.

Buy the sump bolts Chris, they can't be that expensive!
