spark plug change   
Jaguar S Type, 3l, 2000
The car has a slight 'miss' on acceleration.  The dealer had the car for a
day, found nothing on the 'computer' and suggested I book it in for a
service to change plugs , air filter etc - it was only serviced in January
and cost me s, so I am going to attempt a spark plug change myself .

Anything I should be thinking about

Ta in advance

Have you filled it with naff fuel recently? Refill it with a tank of
optimax...

It's presumably got long life plugs?

Other thing might be a faulty coil or poor connection to one. Check them
all for oil contamination or dirt.
