[QUOTE="Apache, post: 426116, member: 828"] Guys - my TD5 has a butchered sump plug. Someone has tapped it out much larger than standard and re threaded. They have further bodged it by taking an existing sump type nut - filling off the edges and welding it to a larger nut! The shank diameter fits slightly loosely in the jaws of a 16mm spanner - and snugly in a 5/8 (15.875mm). (I cant find my vernier gauge!) The thread pitch is 1.5, but my tap and die set only goes up to M12 Do I presume this is M16 X 1.5 or some imperial thread? They have welded a 24mm bolt head on, but not sure that adds much I was going to fit on of the easy drain plugs - to mean once I get this sealed I never have to disturb it again Cheers [/QUOTE]
