Welcome to the forum and the club
Black plastic spark plug cover is held in place by 3 bolts. Remove this item. Remove the ignition coils, then disconnect the conventional HT leads. Buy yourself a copy of the Haynes manual for Christmas. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...57&postcount=9 Special club discount £16.14 inclusive of delivery |

As you mention "the question might sound obvious"
I'll give the obvious answer as it may help. There are 4 plugs all under the black plastic cover, There are only two leads as the other two plugs have coils on them. Lastly, you need one of the long spark plug spanners to reach down to change the plugs. ALSO - wasn't that sillier question as I was also baffled by this the first time I looked at it !! cheers
