What size of bolt needed for 2.5D sump plug?

Now thats a plan!

Funny thing is that i checked that mine was tight the day before i lost it (I was searching for oil leaks!). It is nice to know that you can drive a long way with no oil in a 2.5 diesel and not do too much damage! :)

Hi Tom, I have just checked the size of a sump plug, which measures .650 x 18 tpi, which isnt a standard size, if it had been .625 x 18 it would have been UNF Rotty

Knowing BL it'll be out of the parts bin for the rest of the BL range.

What engine was that off?

Looks like i'll either be buying a selection of bolts until i get one that fits, or going to the scrappy and trying to find one.

Or i suppose i could investigate an LDV dealer. I dont like main dealers though!

Thanks!

It seems to have a bt of everything!

Half the bits on this engine actually say landrover on (like the crankshaft for example)

I really should have got this sump plug sorted before i fixed the sump onto the engine!.. I could have just taken the whole thing with me then.. Far too easy!

ok,. I give in - its 599552 (Magnetic - £3.38), and the washer is FRC4808 (11p)

Do you actually have one in stock though?. I've been to a few shops now, and they all say 'Oh - we dont have any of those'.

If i knew what size it was, The nut and bolt place should definately have something in that would fit!

I've just noticed where you are.. Can I get free delivery to Tunstall with one of them? :-)

I've just found your club website too, never knew you existed before!.. I actually used to visit the pub where you meet farily often too.

We'll see - ordering one today, should know about 5 ish

Yep -"all part of the service, Sir"

We are the slightly dazed looking ones in the corner.....

I wish i'd known about you earlier :) If youve got one then youve sold it. Shall ring you tomorrow.

Might come say hello at the end of the month. One of my mates has been nagging everyone to go join a LR club with him, we want to do some green laning.
