Buying one in the first place would be the hardest part for the majority

I understand that on a Smart car the engine needs to be removed to replace the plugs, not all that uncommon on modern cars with plugs lasting 60k miles.

We won't mention replacing the transmission filter on a Xantia V6 auto

There are always a couple of difficult bits but spark plugs, filters and light bulbs should never be a two hour or more job.

I heard (unable to verify) if you need to replace a front spring, its also a major undertaking needing wing removal and a few other bits and pieces etc

Lots of places bodge the smart job by only doing the most accessible 3 plugs and leaveing the rear 3 and crossing their fingers....

Bit like the issue with the difficult to replace glow plug hidden behind the injector pump on 1.9 Diesels !!
