Hello.
Done this job twice now, both times on varioram cars.
It's not a hard job to do, just a bit fiddly and it helps to get the car up on ramps or axle stands so you aren't bent over working and you can get underneath the engine.
Both times I have used the Beru lead set and they were a perfect fit.
I think in the tutorials I read they say to take out the tin ware on the RHS to get to the plug lead under the power steering pump. But if you don't intend to replace the actual plug I found you don't need to. It helps if your hands aren't too big!
As people have said previously, you will need a stubby Phillips driver. I also used a right angled ratchet screwdriver which helped.
The first time it took me about a day and a half. But the second time I did it in a day. But I had discovered by the second time that you didn't have to remove the tin ware.
Take photos on your phone before starting so you have a record of how the leads are routed.
Allow yourself plenty of time and you will be ok.
Good luck.
Steve.
