E30 Driver side lock repair kit

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Just got my first E30 a few weeks ago, just a lowly 318i auto, but something to start on.

Anyway, the drivers door lock is pretty fubar, lets me lock, but not unlock, sounds like this is very common, and I came across a number of repair kits on ebay and such for between $20-40 USD.

However these all mention fitting LHD cars, realoem.com list a couple:

Part 51219556313 (Rep.kit f lock cylinder) found in: Door handle front/lock/key

Part 51219061343 (REPAIR KIT LOCK CYLINDER LEFT) found in: Door handle front/lock/key

does anyone know whether the top part will work for rhd cars? it seems like its for passenger side of LHD cars, so I'm a bit sceptical about wasting my time on one if it's gonna be useless.

Cheers

Left & right locks have opposite actuator arms

so would it be safe to assume the passenger door lock kit for LHD would work as the driver side lock kit on a RHD car?
