Sump Plug Problems

Can anyone help? lol, I was just starting an oil change when i realised my sump plug of my 'N' Reg Fiat cinquecento sx is like nothing ive ever seen before. Its not just a simple bolt out job, its got like a hole in the middle, how the hell do you get it out? Can anyone PLEASE help? lol im guessin i need a tool for it, but unsure where to get hold of one from and how much to expect to pay. Many thanks

you could probably get these form many places as ford use this idea on some engines as well, ive got the socket type piece which is much more usefull as i ended up using a half a meter long levering bar to get the plug undone on mine today

1ft long Wrench and elbow grease does it for me!!

We bought a little double-ended sump plug adapter from our local Motor Accessories shop for about a fiver - did the trick beautifully.
