Spark plug change - how?
 
Do I have to remove the radiator to change the front plug?

on my 99reg you just loosen the bolts and remove the horn, then prop the rad forward with a chunk of wood. bit awkward to do but not hard :)

I have a K3 S and no you don't need to - undo the bottom bolts and swing up and the rad then use the spark plug tool in the tool kit (plus a pair of pliers on the top to start) and it'll come out

This is a must for removing the spark plug without taking the radiator off.

use a fuel rubber hose to pull the plug from the hole once losened.

Take the horn off, it gives you loads more room.

Cheers I did it easily just tilting it forward like you all advised. Thanks loads.

I find although you can tilt the rad, I prefer to drop the coolant. That way you get new plugs and new coolant and not so much risk of damaging the rad!
