I am about to collect an USED (done about 140,000 miles) 230 TE.

I read that the TE may have problem with the self levelling system(accumulator, pump, hoses).

I am in Malaysia and getting parts is expensive and may take a long time.

I would like to know if I can change the self levelling system to a Standard W124 Saloon shock absorbers.

Has anyone made successful modification? If yes, what was done? How is the ride(comfort) after going away from the self levelling system?

What are the disadvantage without the self levelling system on the TE?

All comments, experience and ideas are welcome.

Thanks, in advance.
