400 for a bit of welding go buy another car!
as for the plug 10mm plug socket halfords sell them.
Get paper towel and shove it down the plug well with a screwdriver to soak up most of the oil before taking it out. |

Yeh funnels are good for oil pouring - especially if its one of the big ass 5 litre jobbies which you have to hold about 6 inches above the filler hole. If you are down Halfords they sell em too - tasteful bright orange ones at that!  |
