spark plugs
I was just messing around the other day after doing my tappets, and thought i would put new spark plugs in. The only problem being is they wouldnt come loose. I didnt want to try to hard as i thought i might damage something. I work next to a halfords and they said i would need a garage to do it, Any tips????

Make sure you keep the socket straight as you don't want to smash the ceramics. Also if it won't come free try tightening it a little bit then that should help free it off and it will undo!

Getting the car really warmed up helps a lot as everything expands.
