Default Spark Plug Backache

Just done my plugs today and my back feels f****d. It all went well but was being cautious as not done before on a scoob. Just too long bent over engine bay!!
Car running well tho

I'll use him next time if it saves my back! Was hoping to get my neutral position switch done this week, but stiff back and man flu have scuppered my plans

I (well a mate of mine) just did them on my bug yesterday in an hour or so , no harder than in a classic - although when I did my first ever set on my old scoob it took me 4 hours (mong!)
