Default cossie sump nut ?

alright, what size tool or hex bit thing do i need to get the sump nut off a 2wd cossie sump? it looks massive, so aint to sure even its the write bolt. Anyone help me, or got a pick of what it should look like as correct bit for my sump?

Hi,
you should have a 13mm hex headed sump plug, these do have a nasty habit of sometimes rounding off, it could be that someone has replace it with something different to get around this.
I have a VW golf sump plug fitted to my Cossie this has a 19mm hex and is drilled and tapped to accept my oil temp probe. This would be impossible with the normal size plug.

it might just be a 13mm hex key then in that case.

My halford tool kit goes up to 10mm hex key which way way to small, and thinking about it maybe it is a 13mm hex key. Is this usually something special u have to buy for the cossies sump? The nut itself is new with a new little washer that u can see pressed against the sump, problem is i aint got the correct hex key.
I thought the sump plug was supposed to be the same as a escort turbo i.e a 13mm nut.

Will pop down halford and get meself a 13mm hex key, hopefully that should be the right size

cheers mate
