    Ok, I went to Renault and they tell me they need the size of the core plug that I need. They say they couldnt tell on their system. It's the core plug above the flywheel on the left hand side of the block:





    Anyone have a clue?

    It's a 50mm if anyone needs to know. I've taken the bits off around the area now as the leaks have gotten worse. May paste araldite or something over the leaking part, but its a shitty place to reach!

    I am seriously hoping I dont have to move the gearbox...
