Can't you get an impact driver on it

or a blowtorch to warm it up a bit?

  That could end in tears if the oil catches light

As I said its gonna go inthe garage next week to be done MOT is due the week after so I'll just get it all sorted at once.

Ordered a sump plug from T'bay and it looks awfully small I reckon there has been a funk up cant be arsed to send it back only cost £3 and was from Hong kong so...

Best bet a stealership foe one then? Only problem is the nearest is about 40/50 miles ha, county life.

could always just take the sump off in the worst case, if you go that route drill a hole into the bottom of the sump to drain the oil out.  Obviously make sure you can get to all the sump bolts, and they all actually undo before you do that though

An impact driver won't shift an overtightened bolt.
Out of interest why would the oil catch light??

I spent 2 hours the other day as-well, I ended up drilling a 6mm hole in the outer flange and using a punch and very large and persuasive hammer to loosen.

1.  what do you mean it wouldn't??? it works on ones that have rusted solid 
2. Do you know what a blow torch is

An impact driver won't get a bolt out that is done up to 30 lb ft+
In answer to your other question, yes i know what a blowtorch is 
Now a question for you,
Do you know how easy it is to set light to engine oil?
