Fitting new steering column bush |

Had ago at this today.
Now tried and tested wisdom says there are two ways of fitting these.......
1, Cut Bush in half and shove it in around column.
Or
2, Remove complete steering column, as stated in the workshop manual.
Neither of which appealed to me. So looking for a short cut that gave me a complete steering bush.
Here's what I did.
1, loosen top steering knuckle under bonnet. Remove bolt completely.
2, loosen tilt adjustment under dash.
3, give steering wheel a good yank and intermediate shaft will fall off. Column will just about pull through column Bush.
4, push old Bush out (into car) . Grease and Fit new Bush from the inside of car. I used a 25mm square piece of wood, about a foot long, and hammered it in.
5, Refit in reverse. Making sure column is inserted far enough. I used self-grippers to ensure adjustable column was pulled back out.......

My husband and I are celebrating our 40th birthdays with a BTTF themed house party on Saturday, 24th October.
We were hoping to have a DeLorean for static display on our double-driveway in OX26 from about 6.30 till lightning strikes the clock tower!
Is anyone able to help or advise???

DeLorean Europe Polo Shirts |

Received one of these polo shirts today and thought I would post up some pictures and my opinion (for what it's worth!) This is a superb top with really great detailing as can be seen in the pictures. It's not cheap but compares very well in price to the items from our own on-line shop. The detail is great from the small rear light to the gullwing piping on the rear. The large white stripe may not suit some but helps off-set the grey-ness of the rest of it, but that's not a detriment the white contrasts really well. Anyway ramble over the product is available direct from:
Ed @: http://www.delorean.eu/catalog/product_ ... _id=168087
Or the Eurotec club shop: http://www.deloreanclub.uk/delorean-eur ... shirt.html
Well worth investing in one whilst there are is stock available.

Vin 1552 For Sale |

The owner of 1552 has approached me to let me know he wishes to sell this car. This is the car that was featured on Classic Car Rescue and was as most know purchased/restored over in Canada prior to being imported to the UK. As I'm sure we all know this was a painted car but has had the paint removed very well, however it's always going to have that stigma attached to it and the owners is aware that this will probably lower the value. I had a look at it when it was imported and from memory it was not a bad car. The owner will be looking to get around 22k for it and I will post up pictures in the next day or so. Initially any serious enquiries to be through me please.
Chris
