I have a Corsa C 1.2 16v. Removed the Eco tec cover and subsequently broke it and removed the two bolts holding the rail in. Now left with getting the DIS or whatever its called off. Some unhelpful person at Vauxhall dealer said I just need a plug spanner, a recessed one. Great, but first I must get the rail attached to the for blocks with sit over the plugs out. It won't budge at all.

Do I need a special spark plug socket once i've done it as well ?

if they havent been changed for a bit mate the coil pack will be a bit tight,all you can do is get both ends and wiggle!! just a 16mm 16-5mm socket will do it mate.hope this helps

Cheers mate, just there isn't much room to wiggle and they look fragile. I already broke some plastic off the edge trying to gently lever the things off with a small piece of wood. I'll try again tommorow when its light.
