So, was thinking of changing my [manual] gearbox oil (seen the threads, Comma 75/90 GL5 purchased, got 5 litres and expecting to use 3-3.7).

Additionally, however;

Is the 'final drive' or diff separate from the gearbox?  If so, presumably there's another pair of drain/fill plugs to find?

And if I wanted to change the oil in there as well, how much litreage should I expect, and is it the same stuff as for the gearbox?

Grateful for advice,

Cheers!

Hi all,

I’ve noticed that when my driver door opens fully, it’s rubbing against the corner of the t panel. I think this might be pretty common but I just wondered if anyone has come up with a way to fix it, or do people just ignore it?

Thanks
Darren

Hi all,

My car starts first time and ticks over bang on 750rpm. At idle it sounds fine but as soon as you give it a bit of gas it starts popping occasionally. In addition to this power is well down and tops out at around 50mph. 
Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone suggest a cure? I think it could be the injectors that are clogged up but it would be good to know someone has seen the same

Thanks!
Darren

Charity Classic Car Run

24th April 2022

For and on behalf of Dhiraj Shah

We had to cancel this event which was originally scheduled for 19th April 2020. Last 18 months or so have been difficult and challenging for all of us due to the Pandemic. We hope that we will have some form of normality in 2022. With this in mind we have now scheduled the event for 24th April 2022. We are very excited to arrange the event and looking forward to your support to help the charities which have been starved of cash due to the pandemic.

We had a successful event in April 2019 and thanks to you we had managed to raise a staggering sum of £3,000. Monies raised were split between several charities but following were some of them:-

Lilly Pad Appeal
Hope & Home for Children
Air Ambulance
M S Society
Croydon Playing Fields

Hi all,

Finally got VIN10579 on the road and needed to get some plates on her. I decided to opt for the sto n sho option from the US. The great thing about it is its just attached with a single screw under the bumper. The plate itself sits just in front of the bumper and the great thing is you can pull the pin underneath and remove it.

Sto n sho do 2 options. The first is the US style plate and the second is the UK standard size. I was told im the first person to buy the UK one so thought i'd share how great it is!

If anyone wants to see the install you can find it on the Delorean Tech youtube channel.

My Automatic transmission works perfect but I understand that you can now get a replacement Auto gearbox filter from Delorean Go!  Anybody fitted one and open to comments.

Surprised there hasn't been any mention of the new Delorean EV on here yet.

Here's an Advert that's airing across the pond in LA, Miami, Dallas, San Antonio, NYC and Houston TX.






It's in partnership with ItalDesign and appears to be the DaVinci concept car below.


   

   

   

It's ok looking, but a far cry from the original Delorean and of no interest to me to be honest.

Of course it may never come to fruition as we've seen frequently in the past with DMCH.

What's everyone else's thoughts on it?

Hi All;

I have a mate nearby who does 3D printed parts.  He lists as '3DCadTech' on the interweb and does lots of Land Rover bits.
Anyway, as I don't smoke and potentially want to run extra wires through my centre tunnel; AND maybe mount extra switches, I gave him my ashtray and after a couple of fettling goes, he printed out a blanking plate for me.
I'm dead chuffed, the original ashtray will go into storage with all my other original bits, and now I have something I can cut and modify with carefree abandon!  And it looks neat anyway.
If anyone else wants one, he reckons he could retail them at 12.99 plus £2.60 p&p.
Not as sophisticated as the flock-lined trays available on DGo, but much cheaper!
I'll happily put anyone in touch who wants one (and can't find him online).
Now for the difficult bit, I'll try to upload a photo of mine 'in situ'...


Cheers!

Hello All;

Would anyone have a set of engineering / blueprint or tech drawings, by any chance?

As a matter of interest, I've been pondering on the possibilities of obtaining (for example) a spare set of wheels, and wondering whether an engineering house could actually make replicas.  I could of course take a front and back wheel off my car for them to measure, but then I'd be a bit stationary..!  And I have to confess to a bit of reluctance in case of damage in transit, etc.  But engineering drawings would be all a good manufacturer would need.
Also (as per another thread I started), the RH dash knee pad.  Surely not beyond the wit of man to have a duplicate made if originals are unavailable.
Anyway, that's where I'm going with the thought, if anyone has a set of drawings and could send me copies of bits, I'd be most grateful (and would pay any copying costs, obvs)!

Feel free to reach out for further discussion - grateful for any help/assistance/thoughts.

Cheers!
