No sump has never been off before - seems that it's a bit of an issue fairly particular to the EJ25 engine. There's a massive thread on NASOIC about it labelled something like 'Who'se Oil Pickup HASNT failed?'... which says a lot...
Stuart said the replacement part was different to the original, so perhaps Subaru have 'dealt' with the issue... Was also the first one his local Subaru dealer had ever ordered apparently...
Only installed the oil pressure gauge at Christmas - thank god I did!
