Spark plug change in a Renault modus. does anyone know where they are located and what tools are needed?

i hav'nt seen the car yet, so im a bit dubious as i know renaults can be a right pain in the backside to work on.

Just a sparkplug spanner? or not that simple?

When you open the bonnet you will find there is not a lot of room to see anything ! But the scuttle panel trim is easily removed, take out the four 20 torx screws and remove the large plastic cover. under that you will find another trim that is held on with six 10mm bolts, remove the bolts and remove that trim. You can now see the engine ! You may need to remove a silver engine cover, this is just clipped on, lift the front edge first the pull the cover towards you. The spark plugs are located under the four ignition coils, these usually have a grey or brown top on them and are held in by a 10mm bolt. remove the coils and change the plugs, you can use a normal 14mm plug socket for this. When refitting the scuttle panel trims, note the first trim to go back on has numbers by each bolt hole, tighten the bolts in numbered sequence to allow trim to fit squarely. it really is easy, it just seems like a lot of aggravation
