[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 32846, member: 597"] Hi there, an easy fix for your rounded drain plug is to drill a 1/8 th pilot hole right through the center of it , put a drain tray under first, as you will most likely end up with the entire contents of the oil tank in the sump after all this time...could be as much as 3.5 to 4 litres....anyway open the hole in the plug out to no more than 3/8 ths of an inch in diameter and screw in stud removal tool of the type that bites in as you turn it anti clockwise, and this will remove your damaged plug. New plug part no A26 and sealing washer part no A27 readily available from the VOC spares co or other suppliers found on this forum. Cheers for now....Greg. [/QUOTE]
