Hi can anybody advise the actual size of my Defender 200TDi sump bolt please. It measures as 29mm or 30mm across the flats and a google search has not produced definitive results. I tried with an adjustable spanner but it's too tight. I want to buy the right socket for the torque wrench.
Cheers,
Dave.
Im getting 1 1/18ths.. which is about 27mm. I saw some threads in another forum that it was that size so you can use the wheel brace to get it undone.
the 101's V8 is 27mm, same as the wheel nuts.

some of them are bigger than that - early V8s, especially. inch-and-three-sizteenths, or something equally silly. Which would be about
29.
Closer to 30.16mm
I am not at home at the moment but I am pretty sure it is 1 1/8

whatever, it's a bastard size. I tend to use a sod-off whitworth ring spanner that doesn't fit but is close enough.

actually, it might be. the wheel nuts are 27mm which is 1.1/16", approx.
