e30 locking

[bab-91]

I've already got help from Brianmoooore on the central locking

Now to fix the locking barrels

At the moment the key just turns in barrel without unlocking the door

The seller provided replacement barrels, so now to that

Anyone any advice/ experience with this?

Are the replacement barrels for a different key or a rebuild kit?

replacement barrels

It's fairly straight forward.

1. Remove the door card
2. Remove the C snapped clip that goes around the lock barrel
3. The central locking bracket that's attached should come away from the barrel
4. Push the barrel out of the door.
5. Fitting is the reverse, this is a little. It tricker trying to hold everything in place and get the C snapped clip back on, a helper holding the barrel in place on the other side of the door makes it much easier.

It's a tight squeeze working within the door with poor visibility but not hugely difficult.

Thanks!!

and what would a rebuild consist off? Could a noob like myself tackle it??

Never tried it myself but there is a guide in the wiki. A good few others have done it before and again while it's a fidly task by all accounts not too dificult
