What size copper washer do I need for the sump plug? Local factor has loads of sizes but nothing marked for the RV8.

The 'proper' ones I have are not plain washers, they have a U shaped cross section. Not expensive at LR indies.

IIRC the sump plug is wasted, not sure if a plain washer would seat very well ~ cant you just anneal the old one if you are desperate?

Nearest landie dealer is 30 miles away, hence trying to get one localy, thanks for the info though.

If you find this out and want a couple shoving in the post drop me a line. I've a landie dealer just down the road.
And don't just buy one. You need that now, what will you do next time?
Get a few and put the spares on your spare key keyring

Thanks for the offer, all done now, bought a selection not wanting to leave the car without oil, was the same as one mark Rover and citron, rounded one side.

Are you insinuating that you've bought a lemon?

That will be a Citroen then! I put that down to all the crap I had in my eyes, despite safety glasses wobble
