The drain plug on my defender transfer box will only go finger tight so the threads are almost stripped. There is a constant drip of oil now.

What's the best solution, helicoil repair or tap to a larger size?


Any other suggestions great fully accepted.


Cheers folks.:)
 
no as soon as ya take the "DRAIN" plug out the oil will drain out :doh: :D Oh and make sure you can get the Filler plug out before ya undo the drain plug.

I just refilled the transfer box so it's not a problem with the filler plug.

I was gonna try to take out the plug and block the hole with me finger and put the tape on the plug before refitting the plug. Or does the tape need to be applied dry?
 
If it's new oil be easier to drain it into a bowl and tip it into a bottle then refill. The tape int adhesive but you'll need 2 hands to wind it on properly.
