Does anybody have the WIS procedure for changing the cap & rotor in a M119.972 engine? Dealer says they must do it as there's some special rotor brackets (?) requiring special tools[:@]. I thought from the other posts here its pretty much a DIY job - any help appreciated.

i will give you the instructions on how to install. you must have a windows 2000 with service pack2 during installion. after that, you can upgrade to service pack4 if you want.
better if you got a free extra computer so you can format and install fresh OS. i can provide you all the softwares.

Replacement jobs don't get any easier than the cap and rotor on an M119. Know this: they modified the rotor button along the way, and to go with an older engine they will tell you that you need an adapter. But if you file away a bit of material from the new rotor button you don't need the adapter. That is the way I went when I replaced my rotors recently.

Thanks for your input. I've ordered the caps and I'll give it a go. I'm a bit wary doing work on these cars as things seem to be very delicate and sensitive. For example, I replaced the visor clip and ended up blowing the fuse for the visor mirror light as I must've accidentally shorted something - the visor clip is apparently used as ground for the light! The dist cap itself is held by 3 allen screws. The dealer said cap is a bit worn and they have the 'necessary' MB tools to replace them. On japanese cars, caps are normally just secured by 2 quick release clips.

better remove it while the engine is hot for the plastic is a little bit brittle due to weathering (heat and cold). while it's hot... it's more flexible.
on the side there's a small hook...plastic.
