Most of the vacuum system does not work. It works to run the climate control fan and other engine components and that's about it.

It was therefore easier to switch to electric systems wherever possible. Not stock for sure, but it works and works dependably. For purists this is anathema, I know.

OK, I was suggesting to JamesDean that there is no reason to convert his entire vacuum system to electric if it's currently working OK. Based on his post, he is simply trying to add a
keyless system to the existing vacuum system. The easiest way to do that is to add an electric actuator to the drivers door only, and let the rest of the system continue to work as designed.
BTW, the vacuum systems in both my 123s work perfectly. The 126s are a little more complicated, but 123s are fairly simple to troubleshoot/repair IMHO. If the PO has already hacked up your system, it may make more sense for you to convert it to electric.
