Can anyone enlighten me as to how to loosen the oil sump nut on my 4 year old C3 1.4 petrol.

 

I have tried a socket which was the correct size but there is not enough to grip the nut and it slips off.

I have tried an 8mm square section mild steel bar using vice grips it actually twisted , but still the nut wont budge. Any ideas.

Not sure about the size of the C3 sump plug but all my vehicles require an 8mm 6 sided hex socket to remove the plug. Sounds as though yours has had a heavy handed mechanic on it. Shouldn't need tightening more than around 7lbs/ft.
