The HiddenHose
This is the part Youtube didnt do well..and gets a lot of Forum posts
Removal of small hose..then Airbox
At rear of airbox there is a lightweight rubber hose
It pushes onto a small stub UNDER THE AIRBOX.. out of sight : HIDDEN!
youtube shows that small white clip..bottom right of Hose pic being undone.. no great gain
SO:
Lift the rear of Airbox off its mounting spike (there is a rubber grommet..it will ptobably become displaced) just free of the spike - no further !!
Carefully raise the gearbox side of Airbox
Slide your fingers along that hose..UNDER THE AIRBOX.. you will feel where it ends
Its a push.fit on this small plastic stub. So will wriggle off.. freeing up the Airbox
Which you can then carefully lift away
(Mind that Silver clip.. that is sliding along the Black vapour hose)

I asked around on here and there isnt much choice with plugs...
BUT.. general concensus = factory issue are poor
And Iridium plugs are recommended
HOWEVER.. there isnt a direct replacement..
I Fitted the Bosch Iridium in the pics
No obvious difference.. but they should be good for 30k..not the 12k of the basic plugs
