Just ordered a full service kit for my scoob. Now i have changed plugs on these before and had to feed the socket in then keep adding small extensions, then take them off one by one when taking them out!

Surely there is an easier way someone can tell me? Or am i destined to get bloody knuckles and use blue language?

 

If you are doing a service, when you change the oil and have the under tray off do them from underneath. I do mine this way and its much easier

 

I do 3 of them from above and the front passenger side one from underneath. All I use is a ratchet with a short extension and the socket.

 

They are all easy from above, never had any issues.

 

arn't the newage ones slightly more awkward than classics anyone?

 

I do my classice from above

3" extention, Plug socket & ratchet

I remove the airbox and the washer bottle

Heres a tip for the washer bottle, lift it out and twist it around 180 deg and tie it back to the slam pannel,
This way you dont need to empty the bottle or loose any screen wash.

 

No there Know more arkward, As a bove a 3inc extension Rachet and socket. Make sure there 3/8th drive though and remove washer bottle and air box. Its a very quick job once youve do it once.

All done from above. The only difference with the new age and the later classics is the new age has coil on plugs and the later classic has a coil and leads.

 

 

I did this for the first time in the weekend and it took me the best part of two hours

The main problem I had was getting the socket deep enough, my extension bar was about 1/2" too short to poke out properly to fit the ratchet, so had to use the breaker bar with a swivel head on it I also had to remove the battery and the washer bottle, but apart from that it was easy.

Remember to check the gaps on the plugs you put in also. I set mine to 0.7mm (ngk 7's).
