It’s definitely not a standard sump plug for a 1.9 dg wbx. Maybe someone has stripped it and retapped it? Maybe use a pump to remove the oil before opening a can of worms. I do my 6 month change with a pump and for the 12 month one I drop the oil and change the filter. The pump does a pretty good jo...

I can’t zoom in on my phone to look at the usual grotspots. Ask them to send a few clear close up photo’s of the jacking points, sills, trailing arms, seams etc .

Any links to buy some good ones anyone?

Occasionally since then it has had the same problem of stuttering at junctions within about 2 minutes of the choke coming off. If I get a good r...

Just been under it and re tapped the one that was a good depth and drilled the other ( top) one to about 15mm and tapped that. Helicoils fittted and they both accept a bolt. I’m going to leave it overnight for the loctite to cure. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. I need to swap the bleed valve now as ...

Have you replaced the ignition amp’ at any time? I had similar problems a few years ago and replaced mine to get it running again. I did the accelerator pump diaphragm at the same time as it was perishing.

Engine bay or front to rear metal?

David.

There’s a few me or acquaintances have used.

Wow.
I can’t help with anywhere in Cumbria only Manchester/Lancashire way.
What I can’t believe by those photo’s is why when they had a bare shell they slapped all that filler on.
