now i do know what i'm doing when fitting plugs so i can only surmise that its been a bad one.

Or you don't know how hard you really are! :D

Heard of this once or twice - never encountered it myself though. When/how did it break? Whilst fitting I take it.

Farckin 'ell

Which cylinder front or back

was fitting it on the front, yes the most awkward one but i have learnt to drop the radiator while doing it to make it much easier. went in lovely and tightened up nicely then i felt the dreaded 'stripped thread' feeling so i took the ratchet off and turned by hand, twist and then the feeling of the blood rushing from my face as i prepared myself for the inevitable. pulled the socket out to find half the plug staring at me. had a little sigh of relief. so just got a nice big flat screwdriver and twisted the thread part back out. i'm a lucky burger :-)
