Yup obviously I'm a keen follower of this thread too!

John and I need to swap. My converter plug came out with no problem whatsoever, but the sump plug is weirdly stuck.

I'll try that fabric idea round an allen socket but it's looking like I am going to be taking a tranny fluid shower tomorrow dropping the full sump...

 

Problem solved....finally got that bugger out! It actually bogged down my cordless drill, that's how tight it was!

Thanks everyone!

 

Well done! My sump plug yielded too once I had the pan off
