G'day up2nogood,

I had the same problem with mine over a year ago. Some say the leak can be cured, but just buy a new one. Pricey but worth it. No worries after that. Whereabouts in Australia are you? I get most of the parts for jobs I can safely tackle by post from M.B. Spares and Service in Fyshwick, and they're most helpful. Have a look at their website. Having said that though, I did have trouble getting the car to run after I'd fitted the new EHA. It turned out to be the incorrect polarity of the adaptor lead which has the Mercedes-compatible plug, which was easily remedied by snipping off the locating pin and turning the plug through 180 degrees. M.B. Spares rose to the occasion and did the research, thus uncovering the problem and advising me of the solution within a very short time.
