thats good to know i might stop off at the belfast one when i go back to uni, although europarts in dungannon is right beside me and always has or can get the stuff i need, they even do a solid flywheel kit for about £250, and have a range of teng tools stuff.

Was hoping to service the Honda and Hyundai between the rain, but nowhere seems to sell sump plug washers!

I wouldnt advise risking it, you might get away with it (i just put a bit of plumbers tape on the bung of the suzuki) but its best to replace it.

You won't have a problem with the Hyundai or the Honda, they use aluminium sump washers.

why do you need to swap a 406 washer, does it deform where an aluminium one doesnt?

I might get some silicon to seal the house windows and keep a bit for this purpose.
Put off servicing them as it wouldn't stop raining, and now we have a hurricane that has hit Farmerpugs fridge.

Jasper - would PTFE tape around the sump plug + the old washer do the job?
