    Hi lads,

    I'm in trouble with the front left plug in my 02 deauville, i reckon the tool kit walked many years before I took ownership of it...

    trouble is the plug poped out when I was driving along last week, pretty sure there's no thread damage done... was just wondering could anyone recommend a plug tool that will do the job as they are a notorious fcuker to get at... or even be prepared to lend one for a day or two to get me up and running... of course in exchange for a small hire fee!

    Any help much appreciated...

    Pete :D

    Set of the likes of teng tools or ratchet set would be needed you could pick up in a local motor factors or the likes of woodies or halfords.

    I would have no problem giving you my set but I'm in Shankill Dublin.

    Thanks for the offer miller...

    thanks again,

    The teng set comes with plug tools with a rubber inside to take the plug out and hold in the socket. Have used on my FZR 250 and that is near impossible to get in.

    Do you know any mechanic or even someone in the likes off AA they would have same tools for the job.

    No bother if I remember right I have this set looks like it anyway, http://catalogue.tengtools.com/ Look up socket sets

    It cost around €120 or little less but was a good few years ago but very handy even for doing service on the car plus a few extra bits I collected over time.

    A tip of you're stuck: a piece of hose or tubing will hold a plug pushed over the end of it and will allow you to thread it in. Won't tighten it much, but if you're really stuck putting one in or out.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Some of those plugs are a bitch to remove without the correct tool from the toolkit.
    Mine never came with one and I ended up buying one from a breaker to replace it.
    I'd look for a secondhand toolkit for yours, there must be plenty around.
    The problem with these plug wells is that they are very tight and a lot of sparkplug sockets simply won't go down far enough even with extensions etc.
    Actually the plug socket is the same as the Dominator one, its pretty specialized.

    had to use a pretty daft combination of extensions and universal joint adaptors to do mine earlier this year. Had to feed each piece in one at a time, and assemble in the plug hole like you would a chimley sweep

    but reading here, it sounds like that was an easy one hah

    Pans have an longitudinally mounted V4, they are simple to change compared with the dual spark V-twin in the NTV, access is very tight and awkward.
    OP its worth fitting Iridium plugs when you do change them they last a lot longer.

    Use a piece of garden hose and push it in to grip the neck of the spark plug if you can loosen it but cant get it out
