Remove the plastic / alloy engine cover.

This will expose the 8 plugs and leads neatly located between the
camshaft tunnels.

ISTR each cylinder has a pair of unequal sized plugs, but I could be
wrong, they may be the same size, or is that on the old 75 TSpark
lump.....

Whatever, I can't remember plug sizes on the 16v TSparks, but they're in
the same place - between the camshaft tunnels. Where they've always been
on twin-cam engines.
