thanks Albie

Think it might be 11mm

Pedro · 25-07-2004, 09:36 PM

Tis an 11mm.

Be warned - the sump plug is made from brass and quite soft. It's worth buying a good quality hex socket as you can get a decent breaker bar to get it undone. When I got mine, the plug was badly chewed up and took me about four hours to get out.....

Mines def 11mm i measured it

25-07-2004, 09:45 PM

they are soft but also deep, spray all the gubbins out first to get a good purchase, mine is a bit chewed at the top but it bites fine inside.

Yerbs do yourself a favour and change it next time. Mine didn't look too bad, but chewed up fairly suddenly, even with a decent hex socket.

They cost about seven quid....

worry not pedro, its on the list (not a priority) as its working fine, as I keep taking cases off to paint and re paint Im becoming a bit of a master at oil drains! (3 in the last 3 weeks) not such a master painter.......
