Sparkplugs

I have a 2012 countryman. And I was thinking of doing my own spark plugs, Will I run into any complications ? I have done them on American cars. Wondering if there's was any tips and tricks

As long as you have the correct thin walled socket, no big deal.

Also, do it when the engine is cold and use a torque wrench on the new ones. It's important not to over tighten them.
