MGF : spark plugs ? - kev the rev
Sounds silly, but I'm serious.

I have a MGF Trophy 160 SE which is due for a service having done nearly 10k.

The oil has been changed along with the filter, but I now wish to change the spark plugs. The handbook states the type and gap but where are they?

Not visible from the top access envelope, no apparent inspection panels behind the seats, or under the parcel tray, or from the boot. Not even from underneath! So I am unsure even which side of the engine they are. Can't find a coil/distrubutor so can not trace the plug leads either.

Reluctant to rely on the main agent and pay loads of money and not even be sure the plugs will be replaced.

So over to you clever chaps please.
