Sprak plug socket

Post by chippie »

Right, this is probably me being extremley thich, but what the heck size socket do I need to replace the spark plugs on this thing (2.0l petrol d8)?

I know I need an extension as the sparks are hidden down a hole, but what size (in mm) socket do I need. I've tried all the 'normal' spark sockets I have laying around, and even a friends spark plug remover thingy (sprung loaded t-bar thinger), but nothing fits!

Which 2.0 petrol D8?
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
