It could be worse; it's not unusual on modern V engines to have to remove (part of) the inlet manifold to change some of the plugs.

On my Jag the passenger bank is dead easy - the drivers bank is not.  Have to remove loads of "stuff" to take the inlet manifold off before you can even see the individual coil packs.  By comparison Omega is a piece of "piss" ;)

Changing the plugs on a V6 Omega is a twentyish minute job... unless someone has fitted an lpg all over the engine without any thought ::)

Ford /jaguar v6 to name one although in fairness its not often due to long plug life.

Yep 100K on mine - the ones I took out were worn compared to new ones but not too bad.

Twenty minutes? Do you unbundle the wiring harness, or just pull it out of the way? I usually spend half an hour rebundling the wires.
