jimmmy Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hey Guys this is my first post even though I have been reading through many. I am hoping this is something you fellas can help me with. I am wondering if the 300TDI or any other landrover for that matter came with a 1/4" BSP thread? I am trying to find a sump plug with these dimensions and was led towards this particular engine. I recently grabbed a couple of sump plugs for this engine but they appear to be an M10. I think there are two types? One with a 19mm head and one with a 15mm head? I have a 19mm head one here. Does the 15mm headed one have a different hread? other option may be to get a drain plug type fitment. any help would be great. cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It is just a guess but it might be worth you checking out bungs for the older engines i.e. the 2.25 petrol/diesel, I have no idea what thread they are but probably imperial rather than metric.

So you think the sump plug has changed over the years? cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Having done a bit of searching it would appear that the 2.25 engine uses a 3/8 BSP plug so no use Could you use something generic - seem to be lots of options http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&saf...amp;btnG=Search The other option if you are needing to make something is just to get a nut with the thread of a bung that you can get easily (like the 300Tdi one) and weld/braze that onto the sump pan then drill a hole through the middle, if thats what you are needing to do. I've seen a few sumps with stripped threads repaired in this way, works perfectly well as a repair and is a lot cheaper than buying a new sump!
