Does £185 plus vat sound reasonable, for a plug change on my (03) E320.

I was charged 2.5 hours labour to change plugs @ £60 per hour (plus vat) in July 2007.
The plugs were charged at £7.34 each plus vat ;12 of them!

Do you have to remove the coil packs when changing the plugs on a V6? I had a look with the cover off and access looks to be tight in certain places 
Also, is the MB tool for lead removal worth getting?

No need to buy the special removal tool. Get a cheap or spare 17mm offset ring spanner & cut the offset ring part in half. Making in effect a claw.You can use this to lever the plug leads off.
