hey guys,

i googled w129 500SL forums and got this site anyways, i'm in Brunei and i've got a w129 with some convertible hydraulic issues. they're leaking well the ones in the rear are. i went to the local benz dealership here (only one here in brunei) and they're selling the pistons for 115 pounds each. tech in charge said i may have to replace all 13 (or 12, i forget) anyway cos if 2 of them are leaking, chances are the rest are gonna leak some time soon. 115 pounds times 12 = a lot of money i don't really have. anyone have any suggestions? thanks

Hi to you both!

I've just bought a 320SL and I love it too.

Does the forum have an SL specific section or is it just general?

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I too am a 129 owner. I have a '99 SL500.

Regards your leaky pistons, you could try some breakers in the UK or germany.

You may get some more advice from the US forums as they have many more SL owners than we do.
