Hi
Where I can buy a oil drain valve to replace sump plug. like this one:

First of all are these worth installing? any problems?
I would prefer to buy from UK, cheaper posting.
Thanks in advance

Their sales pitch seems to cover the two main concerns; leaks and hitting obstacles, but I'd still be wary and probably spend the money on a Pela 6000 sump sucker instead. I suppose one benefit would be that your car would be level when you drained the oil rather than jacked up at the front.

I have to have a Pela for my boat, works on the Mrs' Golf but not tried the S2000 yet - I heard rumours that the dipstick might be too thin to get the hose down but never tried. I had an electric transfer pump before but it cracked, Pela has been going strong for a few seasons now.

i cant speak for the pela but i tried my extractor with a narrow tube and i still couldnt get it to clear down the dipstick hole. Gave up in the end especially as Dave says the sump plug isnt any hardship to undo.
