hi mate yes but it still had a drip so I have taken all the oil out again till I get a new plug tomorrow so its the train to work ' 6am

Always use a new sump plug when you change the oil. For the sake of about a quid with a new washer its not worth the hassle. Been there, done it so I know what its like pal! Hope you get it sorted ok.

Can it not be helicoiled or tapped out and a bigger bolt used maybe.

you are a fool if you pay £240 for a new sump when you can just remove old one re-tap hole bigger get a new bolt and a copper washer problem solved for under a fiver...

It's no hassle to do though. If you lived anywhere near me, I'd do it for you for a beer.
