Hi guys, my car is a Marea Weekend 1.9 JTD, I've been having some issues recently, no biggie, it's just that when outside the weather is hot, it won't start straight away, I have to try repeatedly for like 30 seconds and after that it'll start, however in cold weather no problem at all.
Since it's never been done, and thinking that this might be the problem, I'll replace the spark plugs myself, however I don't know if this is difficult or not.
I just read the maintenance manual:

and it makes it look easy, I don't know if it's easy though.
My worst nightmare is if one of the spark plugs gets stuck inside, it's happened to lots of people and that's why tools specifically designed to remove the stuck plug were manufactured.
It's now a little more than 186'000 miles and it's never been done before, can you believe it ? In a forum I was told that I should first warm the car up so that it gets hot and I'll avoid having a stuck spark plug.
I genuinely hope that someone has already done it and that he/she can give me some advice.
