The lower sump pan on a V6 is steel, however the drain plug screws into an ally boss pressed into the steel pan. I forget now how much a new pan is - £30 or £40 IIRC but rather than messing about with a Helicoil  ......

I had mine helicoiled for £60! That was 4 years ago tho, but it's been fine since  :y

Is it worth removing the sump, with all the mess and hassle (Yes I've done it!) if you can get it helicoiled for about the same?  ::)

I know what I'd do..... ;)

I Helicoiled mine today, took an hour & a half including draining the oil. It was a doddle to do in situ, and the kit cost me less than a tenner (from "dlg-07999535899" on ebay).   :y
