    Stupid k-series question

    Er, my dad's got himself a 214si 16v and he wanted to check the condition of the spark plugs but they've got rather funky connectors that look like cooker knobs. Had a gentle go at shifting one - I didn't want to break anything - but it wouldn't budge.

    So *hangs head in shame* do you have to really yank them up or twist and pull or what?



    /Not a bad car at all, much nicer than the Escort it replaced.

    twist to loosen the corrosion, then pull.....they aint bolted on.

    Make sure you dont pull so hard that you twang the lead at the other end.....dont wanna have to buy new leads.
