Just thought I should share the method I used to undo my sump plug. I have the allen key type rather than the standard hex (Quinny told me they undo if you clip them on speed bumps) the only trouble is, the one that I have seems to be the only bolt I have ever experienced which must vibrate tighten!)

Anyway, 10mm allen key and scissor jack is the way to go. Tried using a long bar but when you are working under stands it can be difficult to get everything at the right angle so that you aren't hitting the floor or the exhaust. Took me 3 hours of messing around to work that one out.
