So the center rotor stuck on,,, they can shatter because of this, it does have to come off, I would think heating would be the best with a warm air gun

I will sort this in the morning but I wish that you could get the rotor off first.

freezing is no good as this breaks it

Just to clarify, as it is now, the shaft of the motor passes through the back carbon element of the pump. This is loose on the shaft. Then, fixed about half way down the shaft, is a metal spigot which engages in a small hole in the carbon rotor of the pump (which has been removed OK). I'd send you a photo but the unit is at work until tomorrow.

My motor is all complete with the pin through the shaft already, the pin has never been taken out.

The little blades only fit one way with the taper to the outside, you can turn the shaft when all in to be safe that all is ok

That's great - no problem for me in that case. Just need to get my hands on it before petrol tank is empty!
Thanks

Problem solved- thanks to Malcolm/ television

Thanks, Malcolm, for your motor - fitted and works. Saved me a considerable sum!
Have to say that as the car's only 5 years old the experience has made me question my loyalty to Mercs!

Hi
I also have a question
My sl350 roof electrics work. The boot now opens before it didn't and the central locking on passenger side doesn't work. Have to lock it manually. When I try to take off roof it doesn't open but when I try driving it flashrs a red light on dashboard.
Any idea how to take roof of manually or anything

Possible vacuum actuator failed, are the windows working OK as the roof needs to know the status of the windows.
