From memory I don't remember the nissen one i had being compatible with the factory suzuki one so it might be a matter of seeing if the local motor factor is able to get one as a separate part though i wouldn't put much money on that.

Nissens got back to me to say the part is not available separately. Grr!
Anyone tried blanking the drain off in a DIY way?

did you get the thread dimension?

Also ebay is full of plugs. even UK sellers.
But most plumbers got these or something that would fit as long as the threads are a common type.

Update from Nissens. They have found me a plug and are going to send it free of charge today.
