Spark Plugs...Beware!
Discussion
As I wasn't happy with the pick up and cold running of my car I thought it was time for new Distributor caps,rotors and spark plugs.
I had seen a guide on how to do it here;

It went fairly smoothly, apart from the upper right bank plug hidden under the PAS pump.
The guide said allow 4 hours....took me just over 8 all in!
The 12th plug is a complete nightmare to do,I was looking with mirrors & torches, i got the socket lost & stuck down the hole quite a few times..a nightmare.!
With perseverence and some ingenuity I finally got there.I really would reccpmend this be done by a main dealer or specialist as they probably have a special tool that they let the contortionist lose with.
The car is really running well and pulls much better in any gear,the lsd came into play in 3rd during my test run on a wet road.
I wonder how may 12 plug cars are out there with only 11 changed? it would make servicing a lot simpler!
