Changing Spark Plugs...

[Jonster]

Wanted to change the spark plugs today on my '03 1.2 16v Dynamique (D4F) but I only had the conventional size spark plug socket

Renault parts are closed over the weekend, so I went to Halfords who sold me a 14mm socket that fits the plugs, but is too wide to go into the engine

Do Renault sell a special socket for changing these, does anyone have the part number or know how much it costs?

Cheers, Jon

i had the same problem but luckily my dad had a huge socket set so i managed to find one that just fits inside the holes that is the right size for the plugs. Need a ratcket with an extender bar and I had to buy a tel;escopic magnet thing to actually lift the plugs since normal sockets do not come with the retaining bit of rubber plug sockets have,
