You'll need a sparkplug socket.
It comes with almost every quality socket-set. If i recall right there is a tread about the Halfords professional line socket set.
I believe it's worth checking it out if you are at a start with your tool collection!

Hi HJ2,
I have a normal spark plug socket, which didn't fit, so I bought a box spanner and that's still too big to fit into the space !

How does the socket not fit?
Is it not long enough to reach the plug completely? (buy an extension)
Is the plug hex. diameter incorrect? (buy a correct socket)
Is the socket to thick to fit in the hole? (buy a socket that fit's)
The correct socket is laying arond waiting for you to buy it

You just need a 16mm spark plug socket to use with a socket set/torque wrench

If you don`t have a socket set then maybe one off these

It's the same tool as BL supply for sparkplugs on a Dolomite Sprint!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
