What are the steps to change the spark plugs in a Vauxhall Combo Life?

I've noticed my Vauxhall Combo Life is having trouble starting, and I suspect it's because the spark plugs need to be replaced. Can someone walk me through the process of replacing them myself?

Hi Samantha, changing spark plugs on a Vauxhall Combo Life is a fairly simple task. First, locate the spark plugs under the hood. They are attached to the engine by rubber boots. Carefully remove the boots by gently twisting and pulling them off.

Next, using a spark plug socket, remove the old spark plugs by turning them counterclockwise. It's important to note that each spark plug has a specific torque rating, so be sure to tighten the new spark plugs to the correct torque specification using a torque wrench. Tightening too much can cause damage.

Before installing the new spark plugs, it's a good idea to check the gap between the electrodes. The gap should match the recommended measurement for your specific Vauxhall Combo Life model. If not, use a gap tool to adjust the gap accordingly.

Once the gap is correct, carefully place the new spark plugs into the engine and tighten them using the spark plug socket. Be sure not to over-tighten. Finally, reattach the rubber boots by pushing them back onto the spark plugs.
