Yep got a little mis fire so going to change my plugs, Dont like to pay if i can do it myself,

So how easy are they to do on a Ver5 MY99, can just about see them, and think i could get the socket to it, them get under neath it to replace and plug the lead back on,


Are they hard to do, any tips to know,


Cheers

 

You can do it from underneath if you wish, I did and it only took 30mins (make sure you support the car correctly). It is a pain holding up the under tray but its not impossible. If you fancy doing it from up top, just remove air box, screen washer bottle and even the battery if you wish. This gives you plenty of room. Choice is yours, good luck

 

,mmmm dont really like to remove stuff lol, was going to get under neath and pull lead off then reach from top with socket and undo, then start the thread by hand under neath the up top again with the socket, then under neath again to stick lead back on.

Or something like that lol

 

Sounds like the 'Hokey Cokey' to me However it does sound like it will work and that's what counts. Good luck mate.

 

"It is a pain holding up the under tray but its not impossible"

Why not just remove the tray, then work in freedom?

 

Sorry if I did not make myself clear, what I mean is when you re-attach the under tray it's difficult to hold up and refit the bolts although not impossible.

 

cheers guys, will do it one day when its not raining lol, Whats best plugs to get,

 

You need NGKPFR6B's or equivalent if you have a classic. Gap them to 0.7mm IIRC.

 

I agree - it's a pain in the butt ........ but, it needs to come off for an Oil Change anyway - plugs are usually changed at the same time as a service?

 

yep was going to do it all at once,

 

Never done plugs from underneath and cannot see why you would not do it from the top Remove screen wash bottle on passenger side. What you move on driver side depends on mode year and induction you have
