I just thought I'd post a reply to cheer you up, if you completed the work yourself of course. My local Mbenz dealer has just charged me £252 for replacing the no.6 glow plug. This included a new gasket and a Test Drive!

That doesn't really cheer me up - I hate to think that they charged you so much for such a simple job (yes, I did do it myself after DM's excellent advice).

Check how many plugs were replaced. Normally a dealer replaces all six as the labour is only a bit more than for one. However I think £350 ish is also about the norm.

Welcome to the "neibours looking at you as if you are mad, as you work on your MB" club. They think you must be poor. What they don't realise is you will be if you take it to the dealer, mine is now £89 + VAT per hour.

My neighbours should be used to me working on my own cars by now. I don't trust ANYBODY else to work on any of them (years of owning a Lotus Carlton have tought me this) with the exception of Andy Gale. Problem is, Brum is too d*amn
ed far to travel for every job I need doing. Fancy relocating Andy?
