Drain Plug

Post by dcallaghan2011 » Thu Feb 16, 2012 2:17 pm

Hi, when fitting power steering on my SJ I seem to have misplaced the radiator drain plug :oops: I was wondering if anyone knows of a bolt size that I could use temporarily as I am meant to be taking part in a trial on Sunday and the Suzuki dealers near me cant get one until Monday as it needs to be shipped over from Germany,

Cheers,

Dan

I've bodged it temporarily with a bolt and some PTFEtape before, there are a few different sizes though so I could tell you one size and it could be wrong.

My missus lost the keys to her land rover and guess where they had to be shipped from?

Hi, thanks for all the replies, I am in Bishop's Stortford on the Herts/Essex border, I have used the idea of the bolt with some PTFE Tape and it seems to be working a treat :thumbup: so hopefully that will see me through the weekend until I get the new plug next week at a cost of £6 including VAT,

Cheers,

Dan

Cool, its a bit of a trail repair but it works, I would check on it every so often though, mine was in for weeks but I did check on it quite often just to make sure it hadn't started leaking.

Got the drain plug today from Suzuki so I thought I would put up the part number incase anyone ever needed it, however i'm not sure if it will fit all of the 1.3 litres as mine is a Japanese model not one of the ones unfortunate enough to be made in the Landrover factory in Spain :lol: Anyway the part number is below.


Part No. 17751-72010

Cheers,

Dan
