Hi Guys

Just bought some NGK iridium plugs for my series 1. The link to the guide for changing plugs in the Maintenance sticky does not work any longer. Can someone pls point me in the right direction for a step-by-step guide? i.e. what parts need to be removed to get to the plugs etc and anything to keep an eye out for? The attendant said these plugs are pre gapped and I dont need to worry about gapping them. Im running only about 5 PSI if that makes a difference.

Cheers

1. Remove the intake pipe that goes accross the top of your engine and all the vacuum lines that connect to it.

2. Remove the coilpack cover in between the rocker covers.

3. Unclip the coilpack loom from each coilpack and put it aside.

4. Remove the coilpacks either by uncwrewing each one seperately or by undoing the bolts holding the brackets underneath the coilpacks.

5. Use a spark plug remover on a ratchet to unscrew the plugs and repace with your new pre-gapped plugs. They will be hot if you have been driving.

6. Now work back up the steps and attach everything in the same way you removed it.

Hope that helps. Its really easy just dont be afraid to get in there and do it yourself :huh:

from experience, it's easier to unbolt the bracket holding the coilpacks in, but make sure not to overtighten it when putting it back on like I did, snapping the head off one of the bolts in the process :wub:

I also don't bother to take the entire coilpack harness off, there's plenty of room to work around it.

Hey i just noticed for step 4 im missing the male end of that plug? is that a serious problem? and what is that plug for?

STRESSING out!

I think that is actually a S2, since yours is a S1 you will have an ignitor (i think thats what its called) pack mounted there that the wires plug into.

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
