Finally got the old one out. Blasted thing, ground two flat sides on the thing and put a big spanner on it, then scaffold tube over the spanner.

Searched on here but most links are dead.......ford apparently don't do them...........where can I get a new Ford Diff Drain Plug from????

I am loathed to put the old battered one back!

you can get new generic ones that even come with the little magnet to collect the metal filings
from memory its just an M20 x1.5 pitch - but best to measure your old one to check first...


I got some fancy one s/h for a couple of beer tokens
(sold new as some kind of upgrade for a cossie 4x4 diff for ~£20 )

Halfords sell sump drain plugs, just find one with the correct thread.

I saw some new ones on eBay not so long ago

I used a magnetic sump plug from a Mazda again new off eBay.

sierra diff? Try caterham (of all places!)
