It is time to service my Nadia D4.
I need to know full procedure of how to access spark plugs to be able to change them.
Also, it appears I might have to pull out engine JUST to change the timing/cam belt?
Is this correct - or is there a better method of changing cam belt?

Hi:

I am in North America and we don't have this vehicle available to us. As a result, I have no manuals to reference. I will try to help anyway.

To start, tell me if each cylinder has it's own coil pack or if there is one coil and spark plug wires going to each spark plug.
