Hi can any one tell me the size of the sump nut..is it m12x1.25 as i want a stronger metal nut..
....
Incidentally if the plug "is" tapered then it won't have a washer, if it has a washer then it is a normal parallel thread, neither are interchangeable as the thread pitch is different.
That is the norm in engineering...... not to say Fiat will follow those rules.

The engine is the 875cc TA Turbo chain driven unit if this helps.
Thanks for the replie i lookes on ebay at a fiat one for about a fiver. Their are magnatic one of the same size so was wondering could one of these be fitted instead?. I put my 6 point socket on it but it felt a little big so i changed to a 12 point and still a little loose.I very carefully with a constant pressure loosend the nut and nipped it back up. I took off the socket and the corners of the nut were starting to round.The nut is very soft metal..
