The firing order is moulded into the inlet manifold just infront of the coils

Not sure about the DOHC, but it wasn't the firing order moulded into the intake manifold, but rather the individual HT lead numbers. My old NL had 3 coils, and I did the timing belt and fitted new leads at the same time. The bloody thing would not run properly. It backfired and ran only on 2 or 3 cylinders. I tried everything and eventually my wife said "What are those numbers over there?" (the numbers were cast into the intake manifold. I said that they were the casting part number, but she insisted that I try that sequence. Oh dear! she was right. I fitted the leads in that sequence, turned the key and VROOM - away it went. The numbers were well away from the coils, but the sequence was right.

By the way, the cylinder numbering as described above is correct, and as far as I know, the firing order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It certainly is for the V6 SOHC engines.
