    Coolant drain plug seal

    Hey guys,
    I just removed my drain plug to let some coolant out to fix a leak. Now I noticed it has a seal which I was unaware of. Is that seal something purchased or is it made from some sort of applied silicone? I have an ordinary rubber washer sealing it at the moment but it is not something I would trust.
    Thanks.

    The seal you are referring to is a Land Rover part - it's a metal washer with a rubber ring on the inside circumference. Best to replace with the genuine article!

    Its a Bonded washer, or Dowty seal...

    Any CBC etc. should have them...

    If the rubber isn't hardened or cracking and still flexible, you may get away with it. But replacement is preferred. They're only a few $$$

    Thanks guys.
    That is not what I removed from mine. I had like a thin flexible seal. Lime it has been made from some sort of gasket silicon.
    I shall replace my dodgy setup.

    The Land Rover part number is PYF100860

    For future reference, you can look these up yourself (and answer your question) on Land Rover's Microcat - it's available free online at Microcat - Spare parts Land Rover catalogue in English - click the Spare Parts Catalogue icon in the lower centre (has a picture of some gears).

    A smear of non corrosive high temp sealant will do just fine ..
