Well, I guess it starts here!

Decided to change the oil on the new arrival - '91 1380 Mini Cooper.

When trying to put the Sump plug back in, some bits of thread came out. It seems to be secure but I guess that it has been cross threaded at some time.

Is this a case of putting a Helicoil in eventually?

Has anyone out there had a similar problem and what did you do to sort it?

Cheers, Chris
