Having read on here the many entries about spark plugs I was dreading the job - and how right. Nearly 3 hours, 3 broken plug wires (one had to cut off the plug - no 4, right behing the alternator) and total cost using oem parts £130.

Luckily I had read on here to remove wheels - made it easier. Hopefully with a bit more maintenance on my part - plus using copper ease the next time might be better.

Thanks for this forum
 






Driver side on mine were easy, passenger side took forever. 20 minutes for driverside, 2 hours for passenger side. I lost the plug socket twice on the passenger side, and ended up getting the last plug out with about 30" og extensions, and a u-joint, through the wheel well with the wheel, and shroud still in place
