How to change spark plugs on 1.2 16v clio?

Unread post by ldare2000 »

Hi,
Ive changed plugs on a range of cars but am stumped by this clio and searching on youtube brings up different looking engines. Heres an image of an engine bay like mine:

The plastic cover is not like any Ive ever seen and seems to be combined with airbox?

Any tips on removal?

If there are no screws on it (check) it may be fixed by rubber bayonet. If so the cover would pull up.
There looks enough play on hose to get it up and away for plug change. You could remove hose.
