Ps I got a few 'O' rings from the stealers today for the drain plug (plus filter and oil) and he asked if I wanted the copper ones or rubber.

I went for rubber. That ok?

You could always change to the hex t45 nut which is more durable and can be reused for a good few changes.

I'll be honest I can't remember what nut I've got already!

I went for rubber as that's what I thought it was when Daz did my service.

If you have a nut that is hexagonal in shape then you need to have a copper/rubber nut.

The one i referred to is a round nut with a t45 size indentation.
