>:(OK i might upset some people but i do.Why?Well 3 months ago i bought a fiesta for my GF to learn to drive in and its been a night mare.I wanted to change the oil today and sump nut is rounded off cheisels smaller sockets and stilsons still won't budge it. My dad suggested welding a nut to it but my lock up has no electricity and my crappy pound land cheisels go through it like butter.Anyone got any ideas how to get it off.

Is it a CVH engine? This happened on my Mk3 Escort. I welded a big nut on and it came off easily. New sump plugs are available from Ford. That's the only way I know how to get them off. It's a common problem apparently.  |

Its a 1.8 diesel. I bought a new plug from halfrauds yesterday as i had an idea it was going to be rounded off but this is a joke.Every ford i've owned its been the same.

 Irwin bolt extractors, about £20 for 5 from good tool stockists (and Halfords) you need these... worth every penny for rounded horrid nuts on ALL makes of classic (saved me from burning the chevanne in a huff yesterday, anyway) |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |
