There was YouTube clip where a bloke relocated the coil packs to a more sensible spot in the engine bay.
Can't find it now though.

As I remember it, he put a plate on a bracket so the coil packs were in the space near the battery box. High enough up to keep them dry and readily accessible; and it could all be demounted if required for other servicing.I have just been reading a long fred on another forum about putting them in a more "big hand" friendly place.

Protection from the heat is a definite plus

yes I did all plugs ... only this plug was corroded and cracked, wondering where come from this crack...
any tips when changing the coils or upgrade the system / other part at the same time?
do you suggest to remove inlet manifold for the job?

Maybe it was damaged before it was put in and got worse over time. Or maybe someone you aggressive removing a plug lead - they can be very difficult if left for a long time..
It's MUCH easier to remove the upper manifold, at least the first time you do it then you can see what you're doing better.
You can check the coils for resistance, i think they should be 10-12kohms, if i remember. But that's only a guide, it doesn't tell you how they perform when they get hot and under load etc

do I need to replace gasket when removing the upper manifold?
should I clean or change particular elements , do preventive maintenance under the upper manifold to prevent other failure?

It's a metal gasket, it's ideal to replace it because you don't want any kind of air leak there.
It's not difficult

Bolted onto the rear of the plenum/lower manifoldI don't actually know where they are mounted as standard
Can you see this position is not best, Gems engine but Thor same place.I don't actually know where they are mounted as standard
