Does anyone know the size of the low pressure hose from the bottom of the SLS reservoir to the pump? Mine is old and seeping oil

The quality of aftermarket parts for Mercedes is so variable these days, I wanted to created a thread to learn from examples of what parts are good, and what parts are poor quality and should be avoided. It is also worth identifying the true OEM supplier for parts. So far, my experience...

The days of getting a DS that you would actually want for this sort of money are long past, but this one is quite nice and I think the price is fair: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1971-citroen-d-special-manual/SSE-AD-6277753/?Cr=2 It's not perfect but looks nice - on the plus side...

I decided I wanted a dash light to show me when my electric fan comes on. Luckily I had a spare warning light on my dash - there is one for parking lights that are not fitted to my car. Would have been preferable if it were green, but it’s red. All I needed was some wiring and a spare bulb...
