I bought a long socket which i can use, but also my spark plug socket that is in socket set with extension bar works fine. No spark plug extenders on mine. Dumped the air box and fitted a cone type. Much better.

Hi ray, sorry the van has long since been sold. Parts were easy to get hold of via euro car parts. The engine was used for a long time across ranges. I'm sorry I don't have any more clips that show removal
Hi Chris, didn't have a problem with the engine. I needed to rebuild the carb but that's an age issue. The engine is cam chain. And mine apart from starting issues with the carb before I fixed it very very good. The gearbox however was clunky at best. I don't think they were designed to pull around the weight

Just buy a long box spanner and you don't have to remove the the extension adapters .
But... what is your motor ? I've have a talbot express too but it's a 2.5D

Thanks for your help looking at the moment but people want too much money
Hi I just wondering how reliable are those engines
