Wanted: ABC Valve Block

Per the title, looking for a replacement valve block for my 04 SL500 (driver, front) part # A 220 320 1258. Would prefer a new part or rebuilt. If used, I would need some way of knowing it was working properly prior to removal. Please shoot me an e-mail at rs4orce (@) gmail dot com.

Thanks all..
