  1. Needed to fix my sump plug.

    If anyone has got one that I could either hire or buy off them that would be very useful.

    Thanks

  5. @davidoft, so last year I had an issue with sump plug, so I tapped it out to M15 using a similar tool to the one you post.

    Thing is, this has now stripped the threads and when I took the sump plug out yesterday, I could see stripped threads on the plug itself.

    So, I started to look at Helicoils to fix the issue, but I measured the existing plug and it measures 13.95 mm, which it thought was m14.

    My thoughts now are to either: tap out to m16 x 1.5 and fit a new sump plug or fit a m16 x 1.5 helicoil

    I have also found that v coil do a m15 sump plug repair kit, but not sure if this fixes m15 or m14 size.

    I am confused, and due to the cost of these kits, don't want to make a mistake.
