Yea OK 20 bucks -will ammend the price, & no, nothing to do with c/locking -that is controlled by a module at the bottom of the drivers side kick panel aperture. Does your c/locking not work? -These modules can fail -I have sold a few.

should have also confirmed- rotate engine by hand in clockwise direction (normal engine rotation). Cant quite remember whether there is a spring on the tensioner, if there is that predefines the tension otherwise not absolutely sure of specs but I would allow about a 5mm deflection in the belt.

James A realitively straight forward job -Remove radiator, auxillary belts, fan assy, crank pulley, distributor if motronic, timing cover, would recommend replacing the belt tensioner at the same time. Align timing marks on crank & cam shafts, slacken tensioner, remove & replace belt & tensioner, make sure timing marks still aligned, tension belt with tensioner & lock, rotate crankshaft 2 full turns & confirm both marks still alighned, recheck belt tension & reassemble. Although straight forward, If not confident I would seek help -youré right if you get it wrong its a sad story. Good luck! Grant

Hi again All above true, if you do confirm crook starter I have a serviced unit listed on Trademe auction 62731196

Thats the lamp failure control module, - I have 1 listed on Trademe auction 62956215 if interested Cheers

Its a cylinderical unit (not shown in pic) but sits at about the head of the 8th arrow facing the ring gear teeth in the pic.

Gidday Huttey Have had doors apart in my E39 previously, & from memory air bag assy would not need touching to replace the speakers - bass speaker is mounted in it's own plastic enclosure behind the trim, & from memory is a custom fit unit so some adaptation may be required to retrofit another unit in it's place. You may want to check that theres not something loose in there vibrating before going to the trouble of replacing though. If replacement required -would be easy enough to do yourself with a suitable replacement speaker. Hope this helps Cheers
