Help changing spark plugs... - Land Rover Forums

I was in the process of changing my spark plugs, but after removing the engine cover I noticed additional covers over the spark plug area. Before I drop another socket onto the skid plate, can someone tell me what socket size is needed to remove the cover over the spark plugs? Also, I assume the metal firewalls on either side need to be removed to allow space for a socket wrench. I removed the philips head screw holding down the firewall, but they seem to be clipped in the bottom. Is there a special way to remove the firewalls or do I just break the clips?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, the truck is a 2006 LR3 SE V8.

Just be careful if you don't know the answers to these questions or cannot figure them out might be better to have someone experienced change the plugs. Have certainly had to correct many weekend projects for way more than it would have cost in the first place, including a Discovery II last week where the owner tried to cut the starter off with a Saw Zaw!!!!! You should see the picture i have. Very sad. This being sad you might want to tote along a 10 and 12 mm and a 14mm for the skid plates
