Really pissed off now!! grr

Last owner must have been a complete numpty as i've just tried to take my 4 plugs out, 2 came out straight away, and two have rounded off grrr, that means i can't get them out!!!! What's the best way of doing it?

i would go with pez idea,failing that u would have to have the head off as a final resort and try to wind them out that way.

what car is it mate? how accessable are the plugs eg are they set right in the head? couple of options can you get a welder and a weld a big nut on (remembering to disconnect the battery? can you hammer and chisel it? can you get e slightly smaller normal deep socket on or a 12 point?
