I purchased one on eBay for my 64 230SL as I was told from the Prior Owner that his was stuck after 15 year storage.

The one I got had two pistons stuck, so I ended up taking it back off the car and following JA17's instructions about how to free up the pistons and the rack.  Not terribly difficult, just a slow process.

Over time, I plan to work on my original pump later and free up the pump as they are pretty costly when you can find them.  Prices which I have seen have ranged from $800 to several thousand.  Definitely worth giving it a try to fix it yourself if its in reasonable condition.

For my 64 the plate number PES6KL70 / 120R11      11U03613

I am guessing that the 280SL would have a different pump, but not certain since its an early one.

Give it a try and see if you can get it pumping!!
