spark plug replacement

[woodchopper]

What have they done with the spark plugs on a 2003 1.2 16v corsa ??

Used to be able to take off the plug lead and screw them out - now I believe they are situated underneath individual coil packs on the top of the engine - anyone know how to change them and how often - any pitfalls ?

Mucho gratius.

Hi,

This fooled me when I bought a 2002 Laguna, I could not find the plugs!

I don't know if yours are the same as mine but there are two low tension wires that lead to each "pencil coil" which sit on the top of each plug. On my car the coils are held in place with a 10mm bolt, undo this and carefully remove each coil, the plugs can then be removed as normal, I change the plugs at the normal intervals as the handbook says.
