I bought a Gold Plug MP-02T as I wanted a magnetic one and had seen this one recommended elsewhere on the site. When I tried to fit it I couldn't get it started in the sump, just using fingers. The old sump plug screwed back in fine but the new one just would not start. I didn't want to force it as it felt as if it would mash up the thread.
When looking at the new plug it seems that the thread at the start of the plug is flattened and I wondered if this was normal, as I know theses plugs are supposed to have a good reputation. Just looking for some advice from those who know more about these things.
