Hi, looking to change my spark plugs on my Corsa D (2009). Anything in particular I should be wary of? Looks simple enough. Also does it matter what brand I use? Ie Bosch over a cheaper brand? I don't mind paying more for a better brand.

Any advice would be great thanks.
 
Excellent..thanks guys, next question is which ones do I need? Been looking on the Halfords website and can't seem to find out which ones I need? I've got a 1.2 Petrol 59 plate.
 
Thanks, was hoping to do it today but I don't have one of those stores close to me. Do Halfords sell them?
 
Cheers, might as well do the pollen filter as well. I assume any brand will do? They do a Crossland one on there for £6.

As Howard said, to avoid cross-threading, screw them in using your fingers first (with the plug attached to the socket) I always rest the plug on top of the plug hole and just gently turn and feel it as it settles in the correct place, if that makes sense.

Yeah, any pollen filter will do. I'd call them up first to double-check they have them in stock (they should do, but worth checking if it's not local).

Excellent thank you. There is a local car parts shop where I live so I will see what they have, I assume I'm best of sticking with Bosch for the plugs?
 
Thanks guys, installed them earlier and working a treat now, I don't think one of the older ones was working very well. Only took us 5 mins to do. :)
