yeah I definitely know the shape you're talking about, am just saying the V6 manual wasn't a popular model here so not alot of them around in wreckers yards to pick bits from.

takes me less than an hour to do on my other MIVEC V6...

problem is finding the correct spark plug socket which will fit down the tube :P

plugs tend to last 30-40,000kms anyway, not like it will be a frequent occurrence. Frankly I think the spark plugs will be the least of my worries!
