c43 spark plugs

[tonyc43]

Has anyone on here replaced the spark plugs on a c43? i read somewhere it can be pretty awkward so i was wondering if there are any special tools required to do it? My car is on 73000 miles so i am thinking they might need doing also what plugs are they? thanks for any info

Hi,
I got the ones for my e240 from sparkplugs.co.uk - reasonable prices and fast delivery. (£107 for the 12) I went for irridium ones on mine - as with all these things, can't really tell whether they made any difference. Runs sweet enough though.

I don't know the C43, but the E240 - bigger bay and smaller engine, was a bugger to do. No visibility of most of the plugs, poor access - very hard work and not sure I'd attempt it again - half way through, the £100 the dealer wanted for the work seemed good value!.
Also, the leads on mine click on - they don't feel like they will, and it takes a hell of a lot of effort to get them back on properly.
