got it sorted today
altho a few ball busters
the oil filter was hard to get out.
it was in such a wierd position
had to remove a sensor thingy took us about 40 mins just to get it out lol
we tried everything trying get it from the top of the engine bay in all.

and then the plugs!!!!!!!!!!!!
they where all fine exept for plug 4!!!!!
the intercooler pipe came over the top of the engine and sorta blocked it
so we had to remove bolts and piping and stuff
took us a good 40 mins for that in all.

all in all was easy enough to do
put a oil flush in to get rid of the excess oil
fuel filter was easy inall.

all in all cost around £40 for the service so iam please with it

some nice ngk PFR6Q plugs would work well
