Like an idiot I forgot to get one when I changed the oil! Can someone tell me where I can get them form? If from somewhere like B&Q what size will I need?

Just nip in to any motor factors & tell them you need a copper washer for a Renault & they'll sort you out.

You want a compressable one, usually just a few pence.

gsf gave me 1 for a clio the other day as they had no copper washer listed for an r5 and it was too small to go over the sump plug. Luckily my old one wasnt even compressed properly the last time it was done up so was like brand new :)

Just get a blowtorch on the old ones until they glow red ,cool naturally and they're good to go again .
