Halfords sizings call their deep spark plug socket a 10mm?? but the actual fitting is 16mm.

Yeah, I bought the Halfrauds spark plug socket and did them myself when I had my old car! Not sure what size it is though, sorry.

Of the two spark plug socket sizes its the small one

Its best to use a proper spark plug socket and not just a normal deep socket as the proper ones hold the plug so it doesn't fall down and damage the electrode.
