Awesome vacume system on my '83 W123

Hi all, just wanted to brag....got back last night after having been overseas since August 7.....went out to my car (a 1983 300D W123) for the first time since then this morning (sept 3) to go restock the fridge...put key in door unlocked the drivers door and amazingly all the doors popped open, all-be-it a tad slugishly. this car held vacuum for a month...woo hoo....now if I can get my W116 to hold it overnight I will be happy...it holds it for like 4 hours now...
