People say the back ones are hard and often get missed when servicing? i don't know how as they are the ones you can see!
Because of the angle you cant use a long extention attached to the plug spanner(14mm?) as there isn't the clearance so you have to put plug spanner in hole(keeping hold of it)and attach a short one you can fit in,then another etc til down far enough. I was expecting it to be much worse ,if you are used to motorbikes? you have loads of space to work!
So although you have to remove a cover before the coils etc i suppose the front is slightly easier as less tools,they are fairly tight and deep little recesses so make sure the tools you have are not too fat. To get plugs back in thread i used small plastic tubing tight enough to slip tight over plug as i found the rubber insert stayed on the first plug i put back in and i had to remove plug again!(still tightened properly but using plug spanner without insert after picking up thread)
Yeah gearbox is wierd to get used to no step unless you boot it and it kicks down.I love it now and done a couple of reasonably fast motorway trips lately and doesn't seem too revvy at all once you are going.
