Off on a trip to Wales on Sunday and forgot to order wading plugs online and now might not get them in time.

Does anyone know the size of bolt/thread? I was thinking I might be able to get something similar from a local ironmonger.

It's a 200tdi.

Cheers

thanks fellas. confirmed as 1/4" BSP for both the bell housing and the timing belt cover and not a mixture of imperial/metric as discussed elsewhere in other threads.

just a word of advice for anyone else reading in future, my local plumb centre didn't carry the smaller plug size. local discount plumber did, 50p a jobbie.
