Mi16 Core Plug

[ANDYMISIXTEEN 0]

The core plug on my 1.9 Mi16 popped out during the cold weather, ive managed to get it out in one piece. Went to Peugeot they cant get hold of a new one till at least the 25th Feb and say i have to buy 4. If i buy a universal core plug what material do i want it to be made from, ive heard brass will react with the aluminum head.

Found one on ebay, will this be ok the seller doesnt know what material its made from though?

Usually they are plated steel, that is what those look like.

There is one on the cambelt end if I remember right.
