Should not be too hard to locate used as well. Make sure to clean up things, use some heat dissipating paste between the regulator and the cooling element, and make sure to have a good ground connection. On many E21's that is a common weakpoint, either corrosion or bad ground causing things not to work, or break due to overheating.
