Any ideas on the square filler plug size on the type 9, as I need to buy a tool to remove it so that I can top up the oil.

Thanks

Mathew

I use a t-bar from a weird old socket set my dad has had for 40 years - it seems to fit all the ford stuff
I think its a 5/16" drive (so about 8mm) but I'll check later

failing that I just use one of these:

1/2" square rachet + extension.. Simples...

Mine is a allenkey 10mm i have just done my oil

I have a Laser set that came from Halfauds (I needed it on a sunday afternoon).
With hindsight, a cheap ebay kit would be fine I would imagine.
