Hey, I needed someone to tell me how to change my spark plugs on the x5 4.6is, i removed the plustic engine cover but it looks very comlicated i could not get to the spark plugs. can anyone explain to me how to do it, because i dont trust my mechanic, he lies to much, he will probobly say he did change it, but acctually he never did, Thats why i wanted to do it my self. thank u

I am sure if you search "spark plug change" you will find a DIY guide. I caution you that you must be mechanically competent and have the correct tools and sockets including a torque wrench. Otherwise, good luck

Years ago, I had to jack up the car and go thru the wheel well to get at a couple of plugs on one of my cars. A simplier solution is to ask your mechanic for the used plugs that he removes from your car. While this is not 100% guarantee, how many shops keep a set of used plugs to show the customer if they don't do the work?!! I also like to 'just drop by' when I know they will be in the middle of the job.
