Hello

My engine seems to have developed (or I hadn't noticed before) a tap from the passenger side valve cover.

I've attached an MP3 of the sound if it's easy to diagnose. Does it sound like tappets? The engine's doing 900rpm at that point and hunting slightly.

Initially when I first heard it I described it as a knock, which now appears to be mistaken.


Another thing that maybe related is that I get a backfire into the intake when I rev.

thanks for your help.

Dave.

Hello you. 8)

Delorean spotted in Bolton heading along Turton road down towards bolton itself at about 8:30 this morning.

It was my father who spotted it and just said matter-of-factly '..just seen a car like yours...'

Any takers? I live 5 minutes walk from Turton road and wonder who it could be. :wink:

Hi all, I'd like to introduce myself to the club; I have been a member for a couple of years now after I imported VIN2014 from Buffalo New York. I attended a couple of events, namely the Cinema event in Basildon and the NEC (as a spectator). About a year ago Chris Nicholson built and fitted a BTTF2 kit to my car. I believe it to be the last one he did (and at the time was the last one he was going to do!)

The kit looks FAB and I have been driving it around but what with my work I have not really been able to add much to it or be involved with the club.

I have managed to get the flux capacitor, time circuits and drive circuits in the car, so it looks the part, but my intention is to get it as close to the real thing as I can.

Glen Hale has recently sold me www.deloreanhire.com / timetalks.co.uk and has helped me immensly over the past few weeks with my concerns and ideas with the car. Glen has agreed to work on my car and do all of the FAB things to it that he is so well known for throughout the club. I want to take this opportunity to thank him and also say hi to everyone (and apologise for not involving myself too much over the past two years).

The website will (in the near future) include a 1983 GMC A-Team van replica which will be hired out on the site too.

I want to continue the good work that Glen has done when he was working with the other BTTF 2 replica and involve him in all ther fun stuff that he is so used to.

I look forward to meeting you all at EuroTech soon.

Best Regards :lol:

Chris

Absolutely hilarious! GREAT Roger Moore look-a-like. He lacks the skill with the eyebrows though. Just as well that the front fascia didn't have any!

Always wondered how a Roger Moore's Bond would have taken to the DeLorean if it had been used instead of an Esprit.

'For You Eyes Only' released 26th June 1981
Filming sequences using early DMC vins would have made the June release and surely boosted 1981 sales even further...

next Bond was...

'Octopussy' released 10th June 1983
The DMC company had gone by now so 'FYEOnly' is the only Bond movie that could have been the right film at the right time.

Look at it a different way..... if the DeLorean had been used in a Bond movie would it have been dismissed for use in Back To The Future due to it now being a 'Bond car'. Probably not, as Spielberg was having the same problem with considering Harrison Ford again for his new 1981 adventurer role in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Harrison had already been a hit as Han Solo in 1977's 'Star Wars' and 1980's 'Empire Strikes Back'! If Tom Selleck hadn't already been contracted to do Magnum, Indy could have ended up with a moustache!!!

Looks like a couple of guys have been a wee bit naughty......

Two British men have been arrested after a fatal hit and run accident during the Gumball Rally. An elderly driver was killed and his wife critically injured after their vehicle was hit by a car taking part in the event.
The Britons have been named as Nicholas Morley, 30, and 32-year-old Matthew McConvile. They were driving a Porsche 911 (997 turbo) They are being held in the town of Struga, about 125 miles southwest of the Macedonian capital Skopje. Police say they were detained at border crossing with Albania.
A spokesman said: "Two British citizens left the scene of accident. "Shortly afterward, border authorities found them in another (car) ... at the Qafasan border crossing. "They were arrested on charges of endangering traffic and abandoning an accident victim." The police spokesman said the offences carry a maximum one-year prison sentence.

Not seen this one before, its a promo for the 1981 film by D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Enjoy

Hi guys

On another D i'm working has the problem to accelerate very badly.
Feels like a incorrect fuel pressure, no vacuumleak cause the idle is a steady 800.

I hooked a gauge in the fuel line going to the CPR. What pressure exist here?
I'm reading nothing... Frowner
Think the Fuel Distributor is shot..

Thanks...
