I think Mark300SL is saying he wouldnt pay that either but would make the loom himself instead @£30 odd.

There is an official repair kit available from Mercedes nowadays, so new loom not normally required.

I don't suppose you have a part number do you?
Having said which, my insulation is cracking where it plugs into the water pump anyway.
Boom..Boom..I got a price from Mercedes of £545 + VAT, lead time about 5 days.
do I need to cut the leads six inches away from the caps, and the resolder them after heatshrinking?

Moving away from ignition if the wiring is OK could your misfire be caused by a malfunction in the 2 solenoids that switch your variable inlet flaps or by the inlet camshaft advance mechanism jamming?
Have you checked the wiring where it enters the rubber block and under the coilpack cover ?
The wires to the coilpacks themselves are the most fragile as they get moved the most, and especially where it enters the block from the engine bay side - internally through the block itself they are reasonably well seperated from the other coilpacks even if not from each other, but the entry point is just a collection of 6 wires all bunched together with suspect insulation.
