Thanks for the comments, I'm going to replace the engine mounts then look at the throttle body as you suggest. I'll post a reply once done.

Hi there, thanks for your reply. I have taken a couple of pictures : I didn't disconnect the plugs from the boots when I changed the plugs so I would connect them incorrectly. I guess it could be an ignition lead but which one... I did the engine mount check and it looks like both are...

Thanks for the info, I'll check this when I have time.

Thanks I've been reading about that, it can be an issue but apparently it's quite rare. Do you know the easiest way to check this?

Posted in error. Please detail

Quick update - I ordered the part suggested and modified it as described. Changed all 16 plugs which took about 2 hours for drivers side and 1.5 hours on passenger. My boots were well stuck to the spark plugs and 2 of them left the end of the rubber boot stuck to the spark plug. I put this bit...

Just spent the last few hours reading all 14 pages, what an amazing project you have completed! I take it this ones a keeper, enjoy.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I didn't realise that tool existed - I am going to get a set ordered right now! Thanks again.

Hi all, Haven't been on for a while since selling my S500 but am back with an E430. Its currently got a rough idle and so I am going to replace the spark plugs to see if it sorts the issue. It has 166000 miles. I have got all the necessary parts on order to complete the change but am...

Just checking there's no clues on this before I pay for help - I'll update when I find the solution.

Some more.. The last picture is of a stray lead that is connected to the cigar lighter wiring. Not sure where it goes or if it should be connected anywhere. Look forward to your reply!

Here are the pictures I have taken of both iso's, hope you can figure them out. I have tried to take the pictures so you can see the wires from both comand and io play iso's.

Thank you for the reply Richard, we meet again. I will take a close up picture of the power iso's on both comand and io play 2 and hopefully we can sort this out - I tried swapping the comand power wire to the next space but couldn't get it out of the iso, there is a small white tab on the...

Tried 12v feed but still no joy, the red power wire from io play 2 is going into nothing on comand iso, the red power wire from comand is going into a black lead on io play 2 iso. Supplier said sot 912 won't work even though my model is listed on several sites. He said I need to tap into 12v...

**pic 4 - the SOT 912 lead I bought pic 5 - the three iso's on the SOT 912 that fit the comand. I would of thought there should be 4, two for the comand then 2 for io play 2?

Hi all, nearly 12 months later and I'm back... Had another go at fitting this io play 2 bluetooth - spent a while researching which lead to get and concluded the SOT 912 was the right one. I have tried again with the lead and can't understand how it would work. I have attached pictures of...

3 more pics.

Thanks for the suggestions, I am glad to say I managed to modify the original plan and the tool I made worked perfectly - it cost me the grand total of £5, I got the bolts free from work. As you can see in the pictures below, it fits inside the pulley with just enough room to put the 27mm...

Sorry, I should of mentioned I did find that tool but the only place it can be purchased is from a seller in America and it comes to £80 including shipping. Bit of a joke for a one time use item... Hence I am trying to fabricate my own tool somehow - I have been thinking today and tonight I am...

Hi all, Trying to find a way of locking the harmonic balancer pulley so I can undo the 27mm bolt - I have spent days researching the subject, bought all relevant parts like genuine merc harmonic balancer and bolt, torque wrench to tighten to 200nm and 27mm impact socket. I have two lengths...
