rejo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ok I know its late and its a friday night but does anyone know what size the replacement plug is. Done a search but got conflicting answers, is it 1/2 inch bsp or 1/2 inch npt. And the rangerover brass plugs are they all the same size as mate might have some of these. Wouldn't normally be a problem but the one on the thermostat housing has just split in two pieces and I really need the car running saturday evening. Lost some water but hoping its not cooked.

western Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 call X-eng & get 1 or 2 of Si's really neat alloy plugs, the RR items maybe same thread, nick one off your mate & try it, but only if it screws in easily, don't force it. IIRC 1/2 inch BSP thread. or try local plumber merchant or B&Q plumbing section for blanking plug radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Forgot your in Holland, can't really nip out to B&Q from there, plus you probably don't have them over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejo Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 One of the minus points about not being in England .... no B&Q or M&S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Same size as a radiator plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco tony Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 pretty sure they're all the same size, 200/300/v8 all rad plugs all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Before i went round Aus i replaced all the palstic ones on the 90's 300 Tdi with the brass ones from the old V8's and seris. They all fit. So just go to a dealer and get the brass plugs for the older ones , and then swap them over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejo Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Big thanks to everyone who replied. Just out of interest range rover plugs fit ok but managed to get hold of some plugs for a radiator as these where shiny and give it that bling look ...LOL.

callum Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 http://www.screwfix.com/prods/66876/Plumbi...anged-Plug-2-Pk one of these does the job nicely. remember the appropriate washer for underneath it though. screwfix one looks a bit rough, i had a swish brushed one for a while...gold...oh yeah. i now have a little 1/2" let off valve in my plug as the combination of rover and isuzu left me without any sort of radiator cap...doh.
