Ive been running an 84 same model for the last four years which has now become the donor for the new (!) 1978 model and never had any problems with the fact that the SLS was disabled (same story bits missing no compressor etc. ) Another Merc I had, a saloon had no sls and the vacuum driven headlight adjustmeent for loads... that would be easier to find and retro-fit as there must be a million of these here in Portugal, it's just the estate/wagon version that's rare.
Isn't this fun..!!! more skinned knuckles and stories to tell..keep in touch with any tips I'll let youall know how its going UJB | Someone used an electric hydraulic pump with great success. I think the main complaints were crappy ride, especially when cornering.
