a mate has asked me to service his SLK for him, its a 1999 3.2 na twin spark, so 12 spark plugs lol

is it just time consuming or a total twat for a home diy job?

ive priced up the parts for him, he just want to know how much ill charge to do it!



cheers all.

cheers guys. i dont know the milage but hes doing 20k a year and had it a good few years so they are probably due.

the most expensive plugs on euro car parts are £5.40

dealers charge £410 to change plugs on the 3.2 if its part of an A service.

make sure you get branded plugs not denso shyte.

very long pointy nose 90degree pliers is what i use to get the plug end of the leads off.

about 20-30 min job.
