I know this may sound crazy but does anyone have any tips on an easy way of replacing the plugs on this engine? Even with the air filter off i cannot reach the seat of the plug with the socket as i do not have a very long reach and cannot even see the darn things! Also is it possible to replace the brake bleed nipples with stainless steel ones?Thanx in advance,Tony.

Hi Tony.
I've just replaced the front bleeders with the normal type supplied by Peugeot cos the old ones hadn't been touched in years and were all but eroded fossils. I don't plan to leave them untouched as such, so used little bits of rubber heat shrink tube. Shrunk onto the bleeders with a hot air gun gives perfect protection.
