The simple issues are sometimes a problem!
What tool do I need to fit onto the deep seated spark plug in the Forza?..in UK.
I see Halfords have a long 14mm plug removal tool but it may be too long at 12 ins to work in the confined space. Some others on ebay...so any advice before I buy. Unfortunately my socket set has not got the depth of tool needed.

Re: spark plug removal
Do you have the factory tool kit? It has a spark plug socket in it. I have tons of tools but ended up having to use the factory socket. If you are careful a regular 14 mm deep socket may work. I struggled with this simple task also.

Re: spark plug removal
I have a cheap oil filter end cap socket. I struggled to get the filter off. I need to buy a better quality oil filter wrench.

Dave....The England side of the Solway Firth is into or bordering the Lake District...about 120/140mls from Stirling...have listed that as one of my planned "Forza trips" sometime...been there by car but will be better by bike.
Tomorrow I will change the brake fluids using a Mityvac .Oil change seems to have worked...no leaks as yet!
