Guys really need help here

basically need the correct order in which the coilpack wiring loom goes to to each coil

coil pack wires are numbered 1-6 but in which order do they go onto the coils

i know the coil pack closest to the front of the engine in number 1 and works backwards towards the back of the engine to number to but need to know what coil numbered wire goes to which coil

been trying different different combinations for 2 days but nothing works,have got it started a couple of times but its just missfiring

your help will be much appreciated

You answered your own question there mate

Unless the casing has been broken off the wires its pretty much impossible to get it wrong

Common cause of random missfires/bad starting is crank or cam sensor
Have you not got a fault code reader?

It cant be an M52 if you can swap the plugs round that far :?
