I recently changed the alternator belt, which involved removing the air-con belt. To make that easier I just took the bracket with the adjusting pulley off entirely. Unfortunately I lost one of the two bolts holding it on (stupid), and then I realised that it also, for some reason, holds on an important cap thing over a hole in the engine. Since I don't want all my engine oil flying out I replaced it with the one remaining bolt, and a wedge of wood at the other end to stop it moving.

Now I need to find another, but I really have no idea what the size of the bolt is, otherwise I'd just buy another from B&Q. Can anyone help me out here? All I know is that the size of the socket I used to remove it was 11mm.

While I'm at it -- what's the point of that cap thing anyway?

What do you think? I think its ace, really subtle!

Has anybody ever done a brake up grade in their delorean :?:

I personally wouldn't bother but then again I only use mine as a weekend car.

If you want to go ahead with this project I think a nice doughnut tank in the spare wheel well would keep the car looking nice and original. The fuel filler could then be possibly mounted under the bonnet keeping the original lines of the car.

Engineering it so it can be removed at a later date with no trace of installation could retain the value of the car. Talking of which, do the insurers add on a premium for LPG and if so I presume they would want a certified installation certificate.

If they can do a closed loop system then you can always use the D's oxygen sensor.

You could get a spare manifold and have individual injectors machined in them.

I think some one else was going to have thiers done and I gave my spare inlet manifold to them but I have forgotten who it was !

Hi all. on fixing my electrical problem just now befor my tea witch was very nice in fact. I had the ignition switched on but car not running and i could hear a humming coming from the back . Its not the fuel pump because thats in the front and silent after 5 secs. I think its the idal low speed moter. black thing about the size of a can of red bull, big connector on the top. Can anyone tell me if its supposed to hum and vibrate like an electric shaver. I don't know because funny enough i'm always sat in the car when i turn the key. cheers.

Ok I seem to be having a warm start issue.

From cold the car starts first time. If I start the car after its been of for like 10mins it starts fine too. Leave it about 30mins to 2 hours though and it just cranks without actually catching.

I find myself having to swap the plus over on the CPR and the Cold Start to get it to catch, then shutting the engine off, swapping the plugs back and then she starts fine.

I'm guessing this could be to do with the accumulator

true?

If so does anyone have one here in the UK or do I need to order from DMCH?
Finally, how difficult is this part to replace?

Cheers all

Morning all,

Ok, my electric aerial suddenly stopped working the other day. Where should I start to look to solve this.

I'm guessing I need to start by checking all the power supplies to the aerial itself in the side pod.
