600sl suspension problems

[phoenix12]

Hi, hoping someone can help.

I have a 600SL 93 with a leaking hydraulic control valve Merc part No-1293200058. Does anyone have any experience with the repair of these parts-either done one yourselves or know of a place in England that will do so, I can get places in Germany or Sweden but can`t seem to locate one here.


Cheers.

by way of an update
tackled this job myself today replaced all the o-rings in the control valve took around 2 hours from scratch, no more leaks cost less than £3 after being told this was a non serviceable item and required replacement costing approx £1750

very big thank you to Richard for posting the above link

cheers Andy
