Dont miniport or mini spares sell one that doubles up at the sump plug?
Granted the oil temp maybe different in the sump but surley not that much?

Problem with most of those plugs is that you lose the magnet.

I believe I saw in one of the more recent mini magazines a plug that retains the magnet.

I've ordered a mini sport sump plug adapted for the temp sender that retains the magnet as I've still not getting round to fitting mine yet
