Is there even one job thats quick to do on these twatty cars!???

I tried to do the timing belt a few weeks back... I allowed 2 hours for the job ( MORE THAN ENOUGH NORMALLY! )...took me 30 minutes to get the bastard belt cover off Evil or Very Mad

Now i go to change the plugs and lo and behold, my regular run of the mill plug socket wont fit down the froggy, onion eater, wife beating hole!!

I have two options...scour the world for a super slim plug socket or take the exhaust manifold off in order to remove the obstrutive heat shield. All I want to do is chage the bloody plugs! Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

I need a beer. ( NOT A FRENCH ONE EITHER!)

is it just me or do you peopem get huge plug sockets? I have never had a problem, maybe you lot have the plugs in strange places like up your bums but its a simple 2 minute job with any ready available plug socket.

I am aware of the simplicity of the job ( at least usually).

I´ll have to take a photo and up load it.

The problem is the middle two plugs which are obstructed by some heat sheild attached to the exhaust manifold.

As far as I am aware my plug socket is a normal one which I bought back in the UK from Halfords.

Lets see.
