  7. Job done took to a garage 2mins from me needed tensioner and idle pulley, as well alternator nice to hear those after market exhaust .
  8. How big a job is it to change alternator on bmw e53 4.8,and what would you pay for garage to sort as don't think I would have any knuckles left if I have a crack at it.
  9. Over the last few days I have a constant whining noise which gets louder and faster when the accelerator is pressed. It's there whether in park or neutral. Could it be alternator, idle pulleys or tensioners? If so, are these jobs easy enough to do? Changed my coils and plugs already, what an improvement there. Also can't open front passenger door from inside or out, or using remote. Cheers, J
