Just don\'t want to overtighten them!

Done by feel really you\'ll feel the sealing washer crushing if new plugs and just a bit of a nip beyond this point.

Haynes says 9 to 13 ft pounds for 1st generation and I always torque to this data on FB. No probs ever with plugs in or out.

Cheers guys :) Just off to search for which fuse/relay to remove to crank the engine over to get the fuel out....let it dry off then put everything back and hope it starts!
