Sorry to be thick but what is plus gas??

sorry its a brand - hard to find but dam good - basically a penetrating fluid. Probably wont help too much but at this stage worth a skoosh  

Sorry to ask but,  why would you want to use penetrating oil on a thread that is in a sump full of oil?

thanks for all the pearls of wisdom but we have got the plug out yet to see what damage has been done to the sump but the plug was stripped of thread hoping that the sump itself is ok. We just kept placing large screw drivers into the gaps that were appearing as we undid the plug only downside was my mate got a face and mouthful of oil........... but at least it was not me!!!

You need to get the sump thread cleaned up then, sometimes you can simply pick out the thread remains with some tweezers or similar..........sounds like who ever did the last oil change over tightened the sump plug then....
