Dont want to go over old ground but, armed with the drawing kindly supplied by Malcom some time ago and a plug lead removal tool on order has anyone actually done the job of changing the plugs on A Class W169?
If so is there room underneath to do do it using standard wheel ramps?
Thanks

Not as far as I can see I believe its an underneath job, the engine tilts forward you cant even see them from above.

Not easy, but best done from above - access from below is even worse!

Thanks Alex, I wonder if you can get there by removing plastic grille?
Got no choice but to do it myself, I am in Malta and that is undoubtably the best option, at least I will do it properly with the right bits and pieces.
Had a full MB service recently - hard to find anything that was done, as I left they informed me that the rear washer wasnt working, very nice of them and there was me thinking they would have mended it during the service or at least ring me to confirm the job should be done.
(Got home and found it was the water pipe dropped off in the rear door panel, 2min job plus a tie wrap to stop it happening again)
