Cheap source for sump plug washers?

goldspanners

ask in a local independant garage for some,if you need a lot more then its probably best to buy an assorted box. try screw fix or somewhere similar.

darkit

That was a good idea. Ask first before you buy something.

I was referring to an olive which you use where the pipe attaches to the tap.

Not so sure that a " copper olive " would do the job, they slide over the copper pipe, they are the wrong shape I would have thought.

You can get flat ones. I know the bit I'm on about but the proper name for it escapes me which is probably more the problem and I'm just digging myself a bigger hole now so I'll shut up about it - lol.

No

You need the ones with the rubber seal.

if you post up what spec it is ...i.e plain copper and the size it might help

halfords just sell a mixed pack, so little use really

gsf sell the vw sized ones(i can go measure one) for 20p each
