The part i took off was a large flat plug, behind this was a spring and a metel bit. Should there have been a ball bearing as well (im assuming its some sort of non return valve?) there was no ball bearing, the metal bit was flat on one end and had a depression in the other.

That is the pressure relief valve.
Be very carefull when putting the plunger and spring back in must be spotless and able to seal the oilway but still able to move. I realy think you should get the sump plug out even if you have to cut a slot in it and use an impact driver.
PS No ball bearing just the spring and plunger.

I think the plunger is round the wrong way but will double check when I go home later.
