A bloke down the road has a metric thread pitch gauge.
Mine is 12 x 1.5 as is the spare plug I borrowed off another T,box.
I can order the Re- coil kit now

Reading back through this, and considering that you are referring to a SI....mine is for an 86 county, the thread looked fairly course, so I am thinking that I will be after a M12 x 1.75. Can anyone confirm that?

Well the M12x1.5 helicoil kit arrived at 2pm today...so I was straight into it. All went well and I was feeling like 'quite the mechanic' having tackled my first helicoil.....then after removing the tab it appeared that the helicoil had gone too far and stretched itself out somehow...disaster, I thought I was in big trouble.....put a big screwdriver up there to wind it out and it wound back nicely into its rightful place....drain plug in...oil in, around the block for a spin...no oil leaks....beauty!!
