Few questions

[Willo]

First what size plug spanner do I need for the spark plugs on a 1.4
Second how do I change the fag lighter in my golf and can I just use any one or does it have to be a golf one

Thanks in advance

Mines a Gti8v which was 21mm.Id use the right spark plug socket tool tho not a spanner if i was you.

Just buy a spark plug tool will have both.

Which bit of the cigarette lighter we talking about? The bit that comes out red hot or the internals?

That's what I ment the one that's like a socket with a t bar attached to it and the fag lighter I mean the actual bit that's in the dash so the whole unit how does it come out and does it need to be a specific one to replace it ?

Can anyone help me ?

It's not rocket science, get one of them for example:

Take off the trim with ash tray etc (just take ash trash out, remove blanking plugs from where switches are and so on, then you'll see screws)
Take the whole unit out, the disconnect wiring from your cigarette lighter - this will be three wires. (Thinner) One is for illumination - if your new one has no illumination ISOLATE the wire. Remove old socket, place new one there, maybe you need to glue it in (Araldite). Then all you need to do is connect ground and plus.

Yes spark plug is 20.8mm wide, so you need a 21mm deep socket, better than the T- handle thingy ...
Since you are gonna go somewhere and buy the 12v socket anyway get a few fuses as well (10A, 15A).
