Quite simple mate, once you get the engine cover off of course.

Always worth doing it with a warm engine so as to soften up the rubbers.

To remove the coils I normally undo all of the plugs as they are on a rail which makes removing only one more difficult.

Be careful if you try to lever them up as they are fragile.

Thats what I assumed ... but we know what happens when you ass-u-me  :wink:

Cheers guys.  Not do I swap it for another cylinder and see if it follows or just replace it - I suppose when removed if really bad you can tell... then I suppose should I swap them all...

Plus the new set may be a later revision.
