Gave the inside a good hoovering, doing this you realise how big they actually are, takes forever
Removed my spare alloy to lighten it up a bit, then loaded it with stuff for the recycling centre.

Filler plug should be a female Torx. You cannot have wrecked that?!

Stuck my camera up there see what’s going on ... Only one thing I have to say...

Thats proper fookered.

I'd be inclined to try these.

Looks a bit difficult to get a chisel on there.

A punch might do it..

Why so tight though!!!

Just a filler plug!! LOL

Think it’s been mutilated previously, I just finished it off. Or it’s a T60?? Don’t think so - many posts state T55.

Access is awkward only few inches clearance. Will get new one before trying

The females fill with crud, the males round, I don’t think slot heads have any place even in then-modern engineering.

Slot heads stopped having place since the cross head was invented, even before it was at least disputable!

Wouldn't touch a TDV8 myself.

I'd jump for the jag powered L322.

The only one worth having imo.

I'm looking into those but I've had some strange insurance quotes..........the L322 TDv8 3.6 was £900 ........a 4.2 supercharged Sport quote is £600 .......how does any of that make sense ?

The sport is a cheaper car.

Insurance companies are odd

Law of averages?
Not many dicks/ dickesses driving and claiming in the SC

Just a guess.

Our 4.4 TDV8 is sound no issues
