I'd go with these - NGK PFR6E-10

Can be found on Ebay easily and at a decent price and Yes you can do your spark plugs at home

Just take enough off the inlet manifold so you can move the manifold accross a bit then you can get at the plugs mate. You don't have to remove it completely.

And before someone tells me it's not called the inlet manifold I'll warn you now that I couldn't give a sh1t

Might make a difference especially if the lad does a search and then ends up taking half his engine to bits because he read he had to take his ''inlet'' off to get to the plugs lol

Yup, inlet is indeed the bottom part, plenum (spelt wrong) is the top bit

Rough guide:

Remove the bolts on the front of the plenum (spelt wrong lol), 10mm socket

2 bolts also located at the back of the engine either side of the coil pack.

Unplug sensors and TB cable if required depending on the access you can get.

Very easy job fella
