Hi I have just got myself a 1977 SL350 that has a few issues you might be able to help me with.

I think these might be connected, the heater only blows hot air and the engine idles like a pig. Under the bonnet on the passenger side there are 3 small vacum pipes that for some reason seem to have been cut where they come through the bulk head. At the front of the air filter there seems to be a valve that is sucking in air and it looks like these pipes or 2 of them should be connected here. Anyone know where the pipes should go to? I am also looking for a good place for secondhand spares for the car trim bits and pieces mainly?

All help much appreciated

your two vacuum problems are just that, two different problems. could you perhaps post some pictures? otherwise we are passing water into the wind.
