I am actually interested, the humour was a coincidental after thought.

How big was the drain plug hole out of interest?

Pretty sure they are usually "stainless" of a type, haven't checked for being magnetic to be honest, I'll try and remember to do it next time I go in the cupboard.

M6x1.0 so pretty common. If I ever need to heli-coil something again, it's probably be that size. *which is why I kind of wish that I had just bought the kit now)

Got it helicoiled in the end, though part of me is wishing I had bought a kit. Still, it has worked out cheaper doing it this way. This one stripped because the last person to do a coolant change had gone hammer and tongs tightening the drain plug and pulled the threads. I barely got beyond hand tight before it went :(

I had exactly the same on my old bandit - the previous person had tightened up the drain bolt so tight that it let go as soon as I went to undo it - I have a habit of a quick snap of a turn to the right before going left, it "cracks" the fastening and things come undone more easily - but this time it cost me!
