This thread relates to sparkplugs for my 2006 C55 AMG but probably covers many other MB engines.
Before I bought this car 2 months ago I had done my homework regarding service/running costs and as a result I knew it would need a sparkplug change.
After being quoted as much as £14+ VAT per plug (before labour) by one indie - let me remind those of you who are not familiar with this engine ,it has 16 sparkplugs - that would mean over £250 just for the plugs.
I spoke to a guy I know in the motor trade and he sourced them for me direct from his parts supplier at £5.86+vat. A massive saving. shop around.
