Any advice on where to buy spares for us DIY numpties? Does it have to be copper? Don't suppose you have a link to something appropriate online?
As an aside I think reusing the washer is less of a problem if:
a) It's not already flat as a pancake.
b) You use a torque wrench to do the sump plug back up (so it's not overtightened).
