Do you have the 27mm hex key to fit your new gearbox plug? Is the old one still in as they can be tight to get out.

I had one made which you are welcome to borrow if you want.

It was tighter than DjEv's wallet come pay time for the Germany purchases!!  🤣 If I could borrow it this week if be very grateful… Please post. Ta

Ans4r, I try and put part numbers up on these smaller items cause it helps people when browsing. Glad it's helped you.
