Nope but I'd get one for it 172/182's have suffered from plugs being incorrectly fitted and it can be very expenisve if it goes wrong.

 

[V1NNY]

i might just let the garage fit them lol

For a tenner I'd get them todo it, so if they mess it up - they pay

For £10 I'd let the garage do it too. Sod pissing about if it isn't going to cost you much.

Not sure about modden clios but my 92 16v wasnt that easy to get to, they are fitted very deep in the block had to use a socket extension but I fitted and havent had any problems like Gav said dont over do it.

Why not just use an extender on the spanner?

sorry for sounding dumb but what are the reason for changing spark plugs? whats the improvements? does it just make it turn over better?

they arnet just used for starting the engine.. theyre used all the time while the engine is running... newer plugs stronger spark.... theyre a part that needs to be replaced at intervals for effieciency reasons.

could it make the engine run smoother, so easier for it as well. would old saprk plughs cause the car to be sluggish?
