Torx bits is there different types My Doblo van has a sump plug which would appear to be a torx splined affair but none of mine fit, its T set I have is there some other range of Torx sizes I don't know about

Yes, but the name escapes me. They are an automotive head which has more points on it. I had to buy a set to take some brake calipers off once on a pug.

You will probably need a sump nut key. Most car accessory shops will sell them

Laser 6 Piece Spline Bit Set - http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/socket-sets/laser-6-piece-spline-bit-set

If these are the ones you will be better off with a 1/2” set.

I Had the oil filter off already so it was a case of getting it done today, so after much efing and blinding the Stilsons came to the rescue there is a baw hair of a flange so just enough to get a grip on it, and it looks like some plank hammered in a allen key previously, odd cos its a ex Arnold Clark hire van I got 18 months back I would have thought the greasers at Arnies would have the right tools, any way welded a nut on it for the time being and saw the rubber seal just before I roasted it

Cheers thought as much as my spline set does not fit into the torx sockets I have

Crikey. I bet I have used torx bits on spline screws/bolts in the past without even thinking about it. Just like I used to use Philips head on a Pozi

The worst thing of all talking about this stuff is items that come with screws and wall plugs that seem to be some version that is neither Philips nor Pozi with plugs I have yet to find a drill that suits, the exception is radiator mounting kits that have those bloody great screws you need a 10mm socket on, they are just the job for hanging stuff on in the workshop

Take a pic of your sump plug and that would help resolve your situation.
