An oil container for the supply of hydraulic power circuits with a storage function and for receiving oil returned from the circuits. The oil container has storage means and comprises walls and internal partitions constituting a multifunctional system, the partitions defining a collection space adapted when required to accept at least a major part of the oil in the power circuit, an intake space for oil returned from the system, a transition space connected with an outlet of the intake space and separated from the intake space by an oil-permeable partition, a storage space connected with an outlet of the transition space and separated from the transition space by an oil-permeable partition so that the oil is returned into the oil container. The oil returning to the container owing to leakage or by the operation of valves is cooled, calmed, filtered and freed of bubbles on passing through the intake space and the transition space into the storage space. The oil container may if required have means for automatic control of at least the amount of oil in one of the spaces.

A motor vehicle construction which includes at least one vehicle body part such as a floor panel mounted on a vehicle frame by an insert. The body part is only affixed to the vehicle frame so that a connection between the vehicle frame and body part exists by way of the insert. The construction is assembled by applying a layer of a mixture consisting essentially of an adhesive material and an elastic filler to the attaching surface of the frame. The body part is placed upon the layer of the mixture and, if necessary, joints between adjacent body parts are filled with the mixture. The mixture is hardened to form the insert.
