From my experience with a V8.

Ram a screw driver through the core plug then leaver it out, clean the mating surfaces meticulously.

Get some core plug gluing stuff (cant remember what I used) then glue a new core plug back in.

There is probably a more scientific explanation to follow but that is the crux of it.

Cheers Ginge

Just as described by Ginge and use a good fitting socket or other to ensure they dont deform when you whack them back in and dont go too far in.

Thanks for the tips,

Have just ordered some plugs, will go see my local motor factors for some sealant at the weekend.
