Saw on a Yank list that some company makes high quality replacement sump plugs. As I am going to have to chisel my Ducati one out, anyone know of a supplier in UK? Cheers

After just reading your other thread, have you tried an impact wrench??? Get another bit (say a torx bit) similar in size to the mess left from stripping and carefully hammer it into the metal then get to work with the impact wrench. You never know, it might just work.

I know what an impact screwdriver is, but not an impact wrench.

Currently I am leaning towards the box of matches method ;)

Time to take my first plunge into e-bay; fingers crossed - seller seems OK, down my modem....
