I'm planning on changing my coil packs, plugs and leads this week - they're all on order...
Plugs and leads shouldn't be too much of a mission, but coil packs look to be in a really awkward place. What is the usual way to go about it?

PS. I'm not exactly a mechanic - so far my biggest job has been changing the starter solenoid.

Cheers

If you can do the Starter solenoid you can do the Coil packs smile Just take off all the bits that look like they have to be removed until you can get to them, like the intake tubes etc. Just make sure you label and make a note of what leads go where.

I'm changing my coil packs next week too. I found a much easier way of doing it.

You'll find the plugs more of an awkward job than you think. Access is fantastic!
