Range Rover Sport L320 4.4 V8 / 4.2 supercharged V8 petrol: spark plugs

Ignition · Range Rover Sport L320 (2005–13) · 2005–2009

How often: every 60,000 mi or 7 yrs, whichever comes first. Worn plugs cause misfires that can damage the catalytic converters.

Check the plug interval on your Maintenance Check Sheet; Land Rover's varies by engine.

Work safely: support the vehicle on axle stands, never a jack alone; let it cool first. Check figures against your workshop manual. You do this work at your own risk.

Parts

• Spark plugs (long-life plugs to suit engine (one per cylinder))

Tools

• Plug socket
• Torque wrench
• Trim tools for coil covers

Step by step

1. Remove the engine covers and the coils one at a time.
2. Blow dirt out of the plug wells before removing each plug.
3. Fit the new plugs to the specified torque; don't use anti-seize unless your manual says so.
4. Refit the coils firmly and clear any misfire codes.
