Changing spark plugs...

would also like to know this as im changing mine next week, what type of plugs do people use? always used Bosh 4's in other cars ive owned.

if u do a search alot of people reccoment denso ik22 for use, i think there on www.spark-plugs.co.uk £10.49 each apparently they last well

ditto, just changed mine thanks to hooch's advice

i had to remove the samco hose to free it up a bit more also, but you can easily get coil out etc

Old thread bump, will be chaning my spark plugs this week, but wondering what size spark plug socket i need to use? Going to have to buy one from halfrauds as i cant find any in the garage!

Anyone know?

Anyone know?

isn't it a 14mm deep socket (and then you choose 1/2 or 3/8 drive depending on what size ratchet head you have)?

You can get a tool from Hellfrauds by a company called Laser for doing this. Their best tool is a flexi shaft driver for doing up 6/7mm jubilee clips (cheers to m0rk for enlightening me to this)

16mm spark plug socket im sure.

Thanks Phil, will buy a 16mm one from halfrauds tomorrow and get them changed

Check it on one of the plugs in halfords to be sure.

Phil you are right, they are 16mm around the plug body (see image below)



However, if you use a Halfords plug socket they call it a 10mm (confusing??? - see below)



Need to get a torque wrench out to check mine after seeing your thread the other day.

Thats weird, good info tho, ill add that to the FAQ thread. Thanks.

yes you can its a fiddle but i have managed it i run NGK PFR6Q in mine they last and work a treat jabba sport put me on to them years ago
