Hello,
My LR3 V6 has 130k miles and Tune up has never been done...
How difficult is it to do myself? is it pretty straight forward (plugs and wires) or should I just pay a mechanic to do?
anyone has a video on how its done?

Any suggestion on best spark plugs and wires?
Thanks

 

No wires... The days of a distributor and high voltage wires are gone. Now, you just have an individual coil pack on each spark plug. No need to change them unless they fail. As far as the plugs, they're pretty easy to change except for the driver's side closest to the firewall. That one is a little tricky and may require shifting some hoses slightly and bending the heat shield back. I would check the Atlantic British website and RSW Solutions to see if either one has a video.

 

but I see gray wires ...?

 

Ah, apologies. I always just assume everybody has the V8 and forgot that you have the V6... I know you told me that earlier besides being in your original post!

Just completely disregard my previous post because it's all for the V8. You have "remote" ignition coils at the top of the engine, which then feed the high voltage through those grey wires to the plugs that are lower down on the sides. So yes, I guess you may want to consider replacing those wires after all. I'm sorry, but I have no idea how difficult spark plug replacement is on the V6!

 

It should be easier than the V8, more space.

Otherwise the V8 plugs are easy, usually good to have a decent plug socket, and some swivel attachments for ratchet.
