- Mercedes 560SEL
Hi all,
After owning a 560sel whilst working in Canada, I have finally managed to buy another here in the UK. I loved my first car so much, I just had to have another.
So... After looking for ages I have finally bought a 560sel 1989. It's the 300bhp version with a full front and rear adjustable hydraulic system. There are a couple of leaks around the hydraulic manifold which I am in the process of fixing. The rear nitrogen spheres are shot as the back end is rock solid and bounces all over the road.
I have ordered new rear accumulator spheres, but I believe there are another 3 front ones.
Questions:
How can I check if the front spheres are ok?
Do they differ from the rears in terms of fit and charge pressures?
Where can I buy them (other than MB at silly prices)
Is this the same system as a 6:9?
I'm really finding it difficult to find any info on the front hydraulic system. Was this a special option??
Any help appreciated!
Cheers! Mart
