I don't know for sure, but I think it is M18 x 1.5 x 12

Thanks,
I get the same from this site, but considering the original plug takes a 24mm spanner, it just seemed odd: https://shop.motorsport-developments...plug-348-p.asp I suppose I'll buy and if it's wrong, send it back.

It does take a 24mm spanner and from memory it's a lot bigger than M18, more like M20 or 22.
Both fill and drain plugs are the same size if memory serves, why not pull the fill plug and measure with a venier. 2.2 litres needed to fill the box, my hand book said 1.9 but lied. Paul. |

Hi,
VIDA shows them being identical and M18x1.5x12 which is what I have been sold. Only problem now is that I can't see the actual fill plug on the 'box...

Are you just replacing the plug, or fitting a rapid drain (like a FEMCO?)

The gearbox holds 2.2 litres of oil, I like to change it every couple of years to keep things fresh. Paul. |
