M54 DISA fix

[80stech]

I might have posted this before but when I bought the X5 it had about 192K and the DISA was rattling apart, I think the pin had even come out. I ordered a repair kit but did a repair in the meantime by putting a brass sleeve/bushing on the stub shaft end and siliconing the hex drive part. I never did install the kit and just now had it apart and after many years (now 463K km) it is still %110!

It might have been a piece of heat shrink instead of the brass sleeve, I should have put my glasses on and had a better look, but either way better than new or kit!
