Result! It has two sump plugs, confusing for someone who only looks for one usually, thanks for your quick reply, phil.

Be careful - the diesel in my M-reg had one sump plug which I found by trial and error. The two 'plugs' shown in the diagram were actually just part of the sump casting on mine (the actual plug was a different colour and larger). Might be worth checking if you try to undo the ones shown and they just round off!!!

probably to make draining quicker as it holds 6.6 litres with filter change.....or it could be something to do with boats as apparently the V&M engine is a marine one..
