I have just read lots about V8 engine sump plugs but cannot see any reference to recommended torque.
I usually just do it up tight. Not very scientific. What value is correct.

Don't think there is a torque for them. New washer and just nip it up enough so it doesn't drip.
 
My One Ten Land Rover Manual states 40.6/47 Nm for the V8 drain plug. What's the part number for the P6 plug , the LR 110 is 603659

I got this from workshop.manuals.com. It refers to Landrover V8.
I suppose it is the same but it does not mention year of manufacture.
I got thoughtful about this because my MX5 has an aluminium engine and of course bolt torque is critical.
