My threads are crossed and almost stripped from the pervious owners workshop (darra ford) idiots. They also chewed up the original plug which I replaced but next service I'm repairing it. DW10 mine is. M14 x 1.5
I tried the smart-o-seal as chosen by the SCA selector tool. It was completely the wrong size. Funnily it no longer shows any sump plug on their website when using the tool so I can't remember what it was.

I did buy a new sump plug from Ford but lost it when I built a new shed. I also don't have a copy of the receipt which would be handy. I'd rather know what it is because once I went to VW and their part selector tool at the dealer gave the incorrect part for my Golf, surprising I know.

Any recommendations?
