Anyone interested please get in touch with this guy.

Hi Mike,


I’m emailing you having found your details on the DeLorean Owners Club website. As the Secretary I was hoping you might know someone in the club that might help.


We’re currently getting ready to film the first of a new series of Police, Camera, Action and are making the first episode a “Best Of” look back to all the old shows. For the opening sequence we’re interested in having our presenter in a Back To The Future DeLorean, culminating in him driving off and disappearing to leave two trails of fire behind him.



I have gone to the major car hire companies to see if they know anyone who owns a BTTF DeLorean, and I thought I would ask you as well. We’re interested in filming on a dedicated track in Essex on 19th June. Do you know anyone in the area who may be able to help?



Thanks very much,



Rich Bradley

hi welcome to the forum, how much you planing on spending

Hi all,

Just fitted Xenon HIDs to the car last night. They are brilliant. If anyone wants any tips etc let me know, but it is pretty striaght forward. Well if I can do it....

O yeah and no taking the Pi**. I know, I know I need to start driving the car before improving it, but I just can't help it lol.

Cheers all

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the closing of the factory

Will say more about this at the Weekend :wink:

Hi all. Just wondered what sort of oil is best for the manual box. My mechanic friend at work was wondering if 75 90 semi synthetic is ok or do i need something else. Need to know asap if poss. Cheers.

Hey everyone,

Since Ive had my D ive little in the way of mechanical problems. The clutch however has always slipped slightly when going from first to second. Although its not major problem Im thinking its probably gonna have to be replaced when possible. In short, How much is a new clutch, Is it a difficult job to replace it and How time consuming would it be?

Cheers!

The french owner above has used stainless steel screws instead of pop-rivets. Pop-rivets can leave dimples visible through the top part of the door if done wrong. Is there any disadvantage to using screws providing they are the right. If the rubber fails again in the near future the screws are far easier to remove and re-use if turned without force.

I am not aware of any major restorations on the list so far but most owners work on their cars (or have vendors/others) work on their car.

I have just seen the Presentation section on the French forum:-
http://delorean.fr/forum/viewforum.php?f=8

The above encourages owners to show their car (we could list the vin) and as the car evolves with the owner they can log what they have been doing with photos. Would make a great article for the magazine too each issue to follow different owers with different cars.

So, how about it. We could list:-
vin 5255 Oct 81 grey 5-speed owned by Chris Hawes
would contain pictures of the car, mods and to do list etc.

This will take time, but would grow just like the forum has... what do you all think?

Hello all, just want to introduce myself here.
I'm a French owner since 1995 and I was a member of your club, but I received my last issue a few weeks ago.
The forum looks great and full of advices.
Have a great day :wink:

Ok, very OT I know - but this is the OT section afterall! :wink:

Before I do a Jasper Carrott with a 12 bore in the back garden, has anyone got any really good tips for getting rid of Moles? (could be one for you techies out there to get inventive)

I've got one which is working its way across the back garden, and I've shovelled up 7 huge molehills tonight :evil:

I wouldnt mind, but 15 feet away is the hedge which seperates us from the farmer's field!

The only 'humane' suggestion I've had sofar is half burying bottles in the ground as apparantly moles dont like the noise of the wind blowing across them :?

Any suggestions before I start blowing the little b***ard up? :lol:
