Hello all I am in need of some help or advice, I am currently running a Skoda estelle 1.2  engined trike, The previous owner

stripped the threads on the sump drain plug hole   and then sealed the hole,   I would like to know if this can be repaired, or if not

where can I get a "new" sump pan from,

 

Thankyou in advance

You can buy thread repair kits and specific sump bung repair kits, which I have used on several vehicles.

 

Another option is a helicoil, really simple easy repair.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can also use a Felicia sump as well? I bought a "new" Felicia sump last year for around £30. 

You can use a Felicia sump but I think you need the oil pick up pipe as well......

Thank you so much all of you for the input I will certainly take your advice and look at all my options

And I think you have to change the dipstick too? But its an easier solution to finding an obsolete Rapid sump.
