I trying to get a mehcanic mate of mine to do most of the 54K service on my car. But he's having a right Hissy fit because it's a V6 and he's claiming the rear spark plugs are imposable to get to.

Are thay that hard to do? Or is he just making a big deal out of nothing to try and aviod the favor he owe's me?

They are as easy as the front ones I beleive - have a look yourself - its not difficult to do. Not that I did mine but when I last had car in a Mazda dealer it took em 5 mins to change plugs and that was it..

Changed my plugs this morning, took me about 10 minutes to do all 6. The back plugs aren't hard to get at at all..

If he can't change the sparks on a v6 then I wouldn't let him anywhere near the rest of the car!

LOL...na he knows what he's doing. He just likes to avoid paying peaple back.

Thanks guys, now i can throw he argument out of the window:P

....even a complete novice with nought but a City & Guilds in BASIC car servicing can change the sparks on the rear bank of cylinders; I know cos I did it; ...in the dark.... ...by streetlight.

I think he must have been confusing the spark plugs with the cam shafts!!

Easy mistake to make, after all one is a long shaft with cams on it,,,, hence the name,,, the other,,,,well isn`t.
As my mechanic bro` used today,,, "he cant tell the differnce between a cam shaft and a calm day". LOL

Hehehehe...I was going to show him this forum to prove to him thay are easy to do, but after those posts he might not ever do work on my car ever again.:P:P:D
