So I got a servicing kit and they sent me two sump washers... So, which one do I use? (Dunno why I got two different ones?)

That one with a flange and looks like it compresses more

And this one that appears more solid.

Sorry for the dumbass question!

Flat solid one for the main engine sump - not sure what the other one is?

Huh... I guess it doesn't really matter then! I will know if my fresh oil starts ****ing out if I made the wrong choice!

The one that looks most like the one you took off.

Well the one you took off wont look like the top one. If you use one like the top one then its designed to squash.

My local Landy parts dealer told me land rover used two different washers (200 tdi). They needed the engine number to check.

I brought both and turned out the compression washer wouldn't fit the sump bolt so it was a simple choice and two weeks on, no leak.

If you still have the old one you can heat it until cherry red then quench in cold water which anneals the copper and softens it. They can be reused two or three times before they start to get too thin.
I'd use the one that looks like the old one.
