Hi Richard,
No, nothing changed from day I bought car from MMC via Richard Thorne. Not a modified Ford sump but something special. Hence a vacant look from my friendly Ford people.
Here’s a piccie of plugs supplied by MMC/ dealers. Then my plug and then the sump. Note the flat machined to accommodate the plug. Not big and near the bottom edge.
I suppose after nineteen years I shouldn’t fret but it always nags at me.
And yes, just what do other owners have.
Incidentally, the original dowty washer was the wrong size!
