   remove the plastic cover with the citroen badge on. Remove the coil pag with a T30 (I think!) Torque spit, remove spark plugs with 14mm spark plug key. Replace plugs, using a torque wrench to set them to 25nm (I think, best double check that)

    No. The one with the citroen badge on. That son, is the inlet manifold. Do those ones up TIGHT before starting on the other onr

    good effort. That's the inlet manifold. I think there must have been some confusion on your girlfriends part, an RAC man wouldn't think they were there in a million years. I hope

    When I done mine, (although it's a 1.1i it's still MPi), I unplugged all the thin air flow tubes, undone the black coil pack and wedged it out. Then worked on the Spark Plugs.
    
    Rovers K-Series engine was so much easier for this, at the front of the car, take out ignition leads and there they were LOL
