Anyone know what the spark plug-gap should be on the 4.2 Cerbera?

Anyone got any tips on removing the exhaust manifolds - one of mine needs welding/replacing? Can it be done from the engine bay only or will I need to be able to get underneath?

Engine bay and underneath tbh.

The 2 bottom rear bolts are a pig.

You'll need to undo the UL's on the steering column in the drivers wheel arch and move the rod out the way. Then undo the engine mount rubber and jack the engine up to get the driver side out.

Passenger is easier due to not having all the foot controls in the way.

Thanks for the info. Fortunately I only need to do the passenger side! But I think I will wait a bit longer too.

Anyone got any info on the plug gap or is it just not very critical?
