Radiator top plugs
I have just tried fitting a brass radiator plug but it doesn't fit. Are there two different sizes, the plastic one fell apart when I removed it so I can't compare thread sizes. 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

ERR4686B fitted ours just fine, it's the same part number as the plastic except for the b brass. One was a little tight but didn't cross or strip the threads. I'm sure there is only one size.

I fitted radiator bleed plugs. 1/2" bsp makes bleeding a doddle.

X Engineering make some anodised aluminium ones - their website might help confirm if there are more than one size/thread?

I had a set of the X Eng ones - they are exactly the same thread Thumbs Up

EDIT - From Foundry 4x4 site

"A good looking and functional replacement for the nasty plastic caps supplied with modern vehicles. The X-Cap can be removed with any multi-tool: most spanners (edge on): 27mm wheel wrenches and if you have nothing else: even a stick will do.

It will fit the vast majority of Land Rover vehicles plus others with a 3/8 BSP thread.
It is designed to fit in the top of the radiator on PRE Td5 engines. The Td5 has a plastic bleed plug in one of the hoses which is a different size. It will also fit the Axle Filler plug on Discovery 2 and in to the thermostat housing on 300Tdi engines."
