R129 - does any other central locking pump fit?

[James Long]

Help. I've been searching for a new central locking pump for my 300SL-24 for quite a while now. It's LHD and the current pump is 129 800 0348. Does any other pump fit? Otherwise can anyone repair these? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, James.
