Hey hope everyone is well!  Sadly in the recent crazy storm here in UK my Delorean rear sunshade/louvre got ripped up and snapped in half by the wind.  does anyone have or know of a spare on available for me to buy?   Going to try looking into maybe getting mine repaired locally but not sure if that would be possible, and i hear the expensive and very fragile for shipping from US

So.. who else caught the Chris Harris segment on the DeLorean on Top Gear last night?

A 'mixed review', at best..!!

Thoughts?

Ivan..

Just put Dolly on SORN and thinking about working on her this Winter.  I am looking for a better way of working rather than rolling around on the floor but I am restricted by height in my garage. I have been looking at a mini tilter, made by CJ Autos based in Heywood, Model No CL01 2Ton, it looks ideal but just wondered if the rubber platforms that sit on each sill will be safe and wont damage the car?
The platforms are 15cm wide and 80cm long.
Thanks
Chris.

Just finished (with help of children) packing the latest issue of DeLorean News, this is a bumper (50% more pages) of our magazine with a fascinating look at the factory from Matthew, plus some really interesting articles and interviews that I'm sure you will enjoy reading.

I'm trying to check/adjust the valves to eliminate them as a possible source of ticking. I'm not sure how to approach rotating the engine into TDC position. The workshop manual is no assistance and all the guides I've seen online either don't say or say to put the car in fifth gear and use the wheels. I have an automatic! 

There's no room between the exhaust heat shield and crank pully. Even if I got the heat shield off, I'm doubtful the clearance will be sufficient to get a socket onto the crank pulley. Any tips or instructions before I start doing things the hard way?

An illuminated "lap of lights" event coming up at Silverstone. Obviously they have my email address from the summer.  

Could be tempted to go along - anyone fancy it? Seem to be lots of dates available!

Unlike the summer it seems like juniors are allowed on the track.

Hey all.

So, I've got the DGo Cat bypass kit in my 'wish list'.

Not that I necessarily wish to worsen my emissions on purpose, but I do have reservations about a piece of kit (Cat) that, by design, sits inside my engine bay and deliberately generates very high temperatures.  And is now 40 years old (although I guess it shouldn't necessarily degrade much other than by use, and I've still got only ~12k miles on the clock?).

Eventually I plan to replace the whole exhaust system with the newer full-spec stainless job anyway, but for now the existing system otherwise is in functional condition (and I need to do some saving up first!), but ditching the Cat at reasonable cost seems a potential win to me.
Especially as it advertises a small bhp gain and better noise as convenient side-effects.. ;-)

Question is:
if I fit it, do I need to make any other adjustments, or is it just 'plug and play'?
(I've seen Rissy's awesome in-depth analysis of fuel shim adjustment and so on which is on another thread, and I'm just not up to that level of experience/expertise yet, so would like to avoid having to make that kind of change for the moment..!).

As ever, grateful for any advice!
Cheers,
Ivan.

Hi all, anyone have any good or bad experiences of using car covers? I see Ed does a DMC Branded one..

Hi All!


Recently noted a bit of an oddity with my car on starting.

Having had old cars before, I have a habit of turning key from off to first position then second position slowly, then waiting in second position to hear fuel pump going - leaving for a bit to make sure system pressurised and fuel is in all lines, before finally turning to 'start'.  Hopefully avoiding unnecessary fuel-less cranking..

Currently, however, in my D;
Turn key through first position to second position, and there's an odd buzzing noise from somewhere behind me on the LHS.
And the fuel pump appears not to be going.
Turn key back to 'off', then turn back through first to second position.  No problem, pump is going as normal.  Continue turning key to 'start', no worries, off she goes.

However, even after a bit of running, if I then turn her off (at a petrol station, say) - the whole malarkey happens again!

So, I call it a binary pump issue, as every time I get in to start her up, there's a first turn of the key to position 2 with no fuel pump (0) and an odd buzzing noise, then on the second turn of the key to position 2, fuel pump winds up perfectly normally (1) 'cos I can hear it, without the buzzing noise.

Any thoughts?

Yours confusedly, 
Ivan
