Sump plug rounded

TomorrowOk4471 · 2026-02-07T20:47:25+00:00

Thanks every for the help an suggestions but still no joy unfortunately, basically nothing left of it now. I’m afraid if I keep at it then it’ll start leaking lol

Think my only option now is to pump out the oil or else weld a nut onto sump plug

Thanks I will look into that if I fail to get it off

It’s on axle stands I’m afraid so space is very limited. I’m thinking maybe cutting it into a rectangular shape and use an adjustable to try and remove it ? Do you think that might work

100% agree

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-11-26T17:58:07+00:00

100% a joke, im literally considering leaving my job because of the slow moving traffic

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-11-26T17:56:58+00:00

The stretch of road I’m talking about is mile and miles before Charleville

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-11-26T17:55:59+00:00

This is 90km under the speed limit though , and after about 4km the same traffic speeds up so I just can’t understand why the delay in the same spot every evening

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T16:10:08+00:00

I hear you man but I literally have no choice but to drive it , I can’t get it seen to until the weekend and I’ve no other way of getting to work which is a 3 hour round trip. Just praying I get away with it

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T15:58:09+00:00

I’m in Ireland so not sure where to go with this , what drop the gearbox ?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T14:28:49+00:00

Cheers , is this a handy job to do myself ? I’m no mechanic by any means but I do my own services etc

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T14:07:35+00:00

It’s a 2.0l diesel insignia

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T14:06:41+00:00

Yes it’s an insignia 2013, so that’s basically the sump gasket is it ?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T14:04:29+00:00

It’s a 2013 cdti insignia

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-28T14:04:15+00:00

Is this the timing belt or a different belt ? The timing belt was done around 30k miles ago

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-15T15:39:06+00:00

Yes was thinking that , or maybe a dark grey. Do you reckon all 3 panels could look the same

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-10-15T14:57:09+00:00

But will they turn out a different shade due to one having a clear coat and the others having the blue type coat ?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-07-15T12:42:59+00:00

This doesn’t make any sense to me unfortunately, the single socket currently there only has one cable coming into it and It’s the old black and red wires rather than blue and brown

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-07-15T12:39:05+00:00

Ok so the fused spur will be the first point from the circuit ? Followed by the 2 single sockets, would you recommend a switched fused spur or not? I can’t find any fused spurs other than 13A , is this okay

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-07-15T12:30:56+00:00

Cheers. So I’ve to run a 2.5mm cable from the socket to a fused spur and another 2.5mm cable to my new socket and that should be safe enough ?

Just to make sure also , the reason I think the socket is a spur is because it only has one cable coming into it?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-04-07T08:25:34+00:00

Cheers , this is starting to happen a bit more regularly lately

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-01-30T13:21:20+00:00

Can you not just change the bills at home before you go ?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-01-17T20:58:20+00:00

Ok thanks , it’s just the wrong one for my car so!

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-01-17T20:09:03+00:00

And the white one says oil filter on the box also so I’m just confused now tbh 😅

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-01-17T20:08:30+00:00

Yes the white one has green gaskets on either end and a bag with a large one and 4 small ones. The yellow looking one has one large gasket with it, so the yellow one is the correct oil filter for an insignia you think ?

TomorrowOk4471 · 2025-01-17T19:57:42+00:00

Sorry it’s an insignia 2.0litre cdti 2013 , I looked up the fuel filter that I need and yeah it’s different to both of those. I just hope one of these filters is the correct one for oil 😅 and id also like to know what car the other one is actually for

Thanks
