Either way there in the cylinder head but DOHC are slightly harder to get to.

If you are unable to find them without help there isnt much chance you will be able to change them.

Through a hole in the head to the combustion chamber unless it's been converted to external combustion!

They'll be under the passengers seat inside the rad box marked "SPARKES".

No Motor stays in car. If they want to drop the motor then you find another mechanic. Depending on what model you have it should take up to an hour to fit plugs.

bull, they are a mongrel to do if you have big neanderthal hands but no way do you have to drop the motor. how much did they quote you to do them!

First of all we had to remove the sump, then the crankshaft the gudgeon pins, the conrods then the pistons so we could take the spark plugs out

Take the battery and air filter box out of the way. You'll see two wires going to each cylinder head.

What does being a girl have anything to do with it! Do you intend using your gender as an excuse for all things you don't know about!

I remember when motoring wasn't filled with people trying to make jokes and not actually helping.
plc: they are on the sides of the engine, between the engine and the side of the engine bay. If you do a Google search for "boxer engine" or subaru engine, you'll see the layout.
They are a pain to replace, but you don't need to remove the engine.

Yeah, a sense of humour does a lot of harm. We should all be serious around here.

I sympathise with you, after over 20 years of diesels I now have a 3.5 litre Nissan elgrand. A few weeks ago I thought I would check the plugs and leads. now know it doesn't have leads and with a bit of help from google I know where the plugs are but still haven't actually seen them.
