Hi, tried to remove the drain plug from my 300 tdi and the plug just spins. There is no leakage at all, but it wont unscrew completely. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to remove it without damaging the plug or the box.

Thanks, Scott

It's a Land Rover, no leakage - It's empty!

Sorry, couldn't resist it.
