   Wrong section mate, but i think you need a 13mm socket and you remove the coil pack and then unscrew the spark plugs out using the socket, some one will correct me if im wrong

   his forum should be used to discuss topics relating to car care and car detailing. (cleaning, polishing, buffing, scratch removal, car care products, etc, etc)

    Get a spark plug spanner from halfrauds, the plgs are located at the rear of the block where the HT leads plug in.. on a sivertop though you have to remove the black thing from across the top of them, just pop the plug spanner in the hole and unscrew to your hearts content... oh an get a Haynes

    Go that link for what I at the moment find a full service to be, plus spark plugs plus change air filter.
    
    As for plugs.
    
    Locate a grey connection on the top of the engine towards the back, should be going into the back oblong box. Pull that lead out. That remove the box. You may have to unplug the air line above it, they just pull out with a clip.
    
    With the spark plug tool stick it in each four hole, unscrew the plugs.
    
    Open yor knew packet, check measurment with a spark plug tool, should be 0.9mm I believe. Then screw them in and reverse procedure.
