Listers,
After stripping out my magnetic "innie" (recessed) hex type oil sump
threaded plug,
I took my car to the shop to have them extract that plug and they replaced
it with
an outtie (sticking-out) Square headed oil pan screw.
What size is this bastard? I'm assuming that it's now the only metric sized
item on
the entire car. Is there some kind of oil-plug wrench that I forgot to
purchase or something?
And finally, when did the Marque DeSade (sp) start making replacement parts
for Spitfires?
