Benzfan, you're a champ (I'm in Australia) however I cannot send you a pick as it is all put back together which is quite a complicated thing on the coupe with seatbelt retractors and seatbelts all part of the matrix.
It is obviously a special unit as the gearbox drives a wire that loops around the mechanism (like a fan belt).
I can't even find a very good reference to the unit on the CD service manual.
If you can take a picture I should be able to remember. I am quite confident that otherwise my chances of finding a 2nd hand unit a slim to none. Nothing on Ebay and I am checking around Australia.
My concern is that by trying to remove the motor I have seriously damaged the internals. I lifted it about 2cm before realising this was not good. It seemed to go back down OK but then the fuse was blown knocking out the LH front window.
Thanks again
