Gearbox drain plug

Yorkie57 · Jul 16, 2015

Hi All, went to change the gearbox oil on my 54 plate TD5 expecting to see a 32mm nut for the drain plug. What I appear to have is a drain plug the same as the diffs i.e. fits the half inch drive socket end.

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Y

Always possible that it has been changed to make it easier to undo or so that you don't have to go buy large spanners to undo it. I guess if its the right thread, i would keep it as female 1/2" plugs are pretty much impossible to burr

Manufacturing dates is the reason according to JM http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/r380-drain-plug-263510.html
