Disco 2 LT230 oil drain bolt size

berg450 · Dec 7, 2018

Hello
I got a sleeved casing from Ashcroft as mine is leaking at the intermediate shaft. During assembly I have found the oild drain bolt is different on the new casing. Mine is much bigger (about 25mm) and the one I got is about 10mm.
Does anyone know the exact size of this bolt? is it standard or special and I have to order it from LR?
Thanks

Thanks James. This is the big one what i have but I need the small one for the sleeved casing. I think it is 599552.
I do not think it is available in hungary and due to Christmass it will take 2-3 weeks to get it from the UK. This is why I am trying to find out its size as standard drain plugs like M10×1,5 are available within 1-2 days locally.

contact Ashcroft - if the new smaller plug is for one of their casings, they will know exactly what size it is

Already sent a mail to Ashcroft as well. Also want to know if there is any other difference in the casings, hope not. In the meanwhile I have found a bolt which fits only the lenght have to be modified (seems to be M12x1).

TD5 oil drain plug is M16 x 1.5 vs. M14 x 1.5 for a V8.

Actually it is M12x1.5, I have found the bolt only needs to be shortened.
