drainplug for series/early rangerover and drainplug for 300 TDI

[Daan]

Chaps, I am having problems finding a new drainplug for my early rangerover rear axle, which has the old style brass plug with copper washer. I have bashed the bottom of this so bad on rocks that I cant remove this anymore. Plan is to run a holesaw to the right diameter to clean up the diameter and than try removing it and fit a new one. Trouble is, no one seem to be able to supply this new. The partno 608246 seems to be the right one, but I ordered this and got the defender style tapered version. I doubt that it fits the thread and in any case, not keen on going for it if it does. Ebay has several listers offering this partno, but conveniently, dont show a picture, making me believe this is not what I am after.

Also, I would like to fit a magnetic plug in the sump, fot a 300 TDI engine. Does anyone know the threads on these ( I think there are 2 different threads, depending on age), and a supplier for this?

no, the first is a defender tapered plug, the second is an LT230 plug which I dont think will fit to my engine.

but the description on item 2, "4 cylinder engine sump" should fit.
