Just received my new spark plugs to replace the existing ones (doing a quick personal service on the car before it goes to the new owner) and i\'ve come to install them but realised I can\'t get near them because of the intake, oil feed etc etc
I\'ve checked Iluvmyrx7.com but its not exactly clear how to actually get at them :(
I\'ve heard that going at them from the bottom of the car is easiest and means nothing has to be removed bar the plugs and HT leads - is this true? If so, my local garage say they\'ll pop them out for a small fee for me saving the hassle... if not, they are not so keen.
Any advice would be gratefully received :D
Yep once the car is jacked up or lifted up the plugs are easy to see and change. Make sure if putting in original type plugs in that you put them in their corresponding locations. I.e. 7\'s go in the leading and 9\'s go in the trailing plug holes.

Will do :)
just to be on the safe side, leading is the top or the bottom?
My new plugs should be arriving from shy auto this week and I\'ll change them this weekend.
I know I should know this but I just want to make sure.
Leading are at the bottom of the engine.
Cheers bud! :D
