Title: Sump Plug
Post by: bobmcc13 on November 25, 2018, 17:56
Following a week of messing around with my oil control valve I decided that it might be a good idea to fit a magnetic sump plug. Dead easy.
When I looked on e-bay for one I was confronted by loads of different ones with a vast range of different sizes, M12;M15x1.5 etc. Needless to say I was immediately baffled.
I would be grateful if one of you knowledgeable types out there could let me know which one that I should go for, I can't find the details of the OE sump plug anywhere.
Thanks in advance and sorry to be such a pain in the sump.

PM me your address and I'll send a Neodymium magnet that fits perfectly on your plug.
