Yup, I'll drill out in stages and try to retap. I might give the extractor a quick go at the bigger diameter as its unlikely to break. Will update here once I'm done.
All I wanted to do was change the bloody oil...

Yeah its the way to go bud, I had to do this on mine. Bit of a pain in the bum when doing it back up because of access (mine has a bolt front and back as previous owner was obviously a bit of a meat head), the rear one is obviously a pain, but after a couple of services you get the knack!

When I was down getting some parts from the local garage they had a td5 sitting on the deck, he said i could have the housing for free, but couldn't be arsed in the end!! :)
 
So... alas people I have failed to live up to Land Rover standards. I started drilling the bolt with a carbide drill and it is clearly not a quick operation. I didn't want to break the drill, so taking my time and using a slow drill speed I drilled a 2mm deep hole in about 20 minutes...
I've decided this is one for the garage when it goes in for its remap.
I've started her up and there doesn't seem to be any leakage with just the single bolt holding the cap on. Being alloy, it's extremely rigid and just applying the right torque to the other bolt seems to be holding the cap down pretty tight.
For good measure I've bound a heavy duty cable tie round her, but with no visible leaks, it'll last until she's in the garage in 3 weeks time.

Its honestly a fairly straightforward jpb removing the whole housing, if a little fiddly. Then you can either replace or at least clamp it in a pillar drill or something.
