Just cruising around the interweb and found 2 linked videos on U tube with  a few flashes of new footage (to me) and a pleasant chat about DeLorean enthusiast in general ..watch

I was wondering if anybody knows where these can be purchased?  Cheers.

Afternoon all,

Took the Delorean out for a nice drive today, its been a VERY long time since I did that. Anyway, the speedo seems to have developed an interesting quirk.
Check out the video







Anyone got any thoughts on how I go about diagnosing and fixing this one?

Cheers

Hello guys,

I have 2 unused Hella headlamps for sale. they are the UK model, for left hand traffic.
I also have a couple of "flush" bulb holders for the side lights, Durite part number 0-705-12, both brand new






I am looking for 50€ for both headlamps plus shipping, and 5€ for both the flush bulb holders.
I guess I have also some new Philips bulbs for the sidelights which I can include for free.

Feel free to send me a pm

Cheers

Got a new battery (Yuasa 075 12v 60Ah 620A) last Saturday & the car seemed to be working fine. Came to start it today & there's no power. No 'clicks' or anything. The only thing on is the red door lights. The indicator on the battery says it's ok, so I've no idea whats happened! Anybody any clue what it could be? I'm hoping it's just a fuse or something.
It seems to be one thing after another with this car & I haven't even driven it yet. 

Really interesting project car that I'm sure ChrisP will be able to give more back ground on: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24877/lot/612/

I helped this guy - a real petrol head develop a "Turnbuckle" adjuster for the Delorean.
he'd posted on here quite a while back but nothing seems to have come from it.

Restoring #11789 and having the alternator belt on and off many times - fitting exhausts, sensors , wiring ...I got frustrated at trying to tension the alternator then tighten everything up. As I say - done it loads of times.

This bracket makes replacement/tensioning an absolute dream.
I've removed the original bracket , bagged it and will keep it - so please if there are any DeLorean owners who frown on this, the car can easily be returned to stock.


Phil is on E bay and facebook . If you were to price up the components & factor in overheads and it's a fair price.




Xmas is coming - get one in your stocking ?

Well I’ve covered 430 trouble free miles in 11477..... but today that changed.

First some background, as I think it’s related to the over revving.

I finally found somewhere to regas the car with a drop in gas.
Amazingly, the AC kicked right in and the system was blowing cold.

That was yesterday.
Fast forward to today, where I took 11477 on a 90 mile round trip.
As I completed the first 45 miles smoke started to billow from the rear.
I immediately stopped to inspect - but it was NOT overheating. It was in fact the AC belt being shredded and covered my engine bay in rubber.

On inspection the compressor pulley is not aligned with the lower pulleys. It looks like the garage overtightened the belt or bent something?? What should I look for to get that sorted?

NEXT issue is the main one.... over revving to 2100 rpm ALL the time. Now this only started after the AC belt issue above. Has the AC system enabled something to increase revs that is now stuck??
I’m stuck, and am not sure where to look first......

NEXT issue is the speedo. It stopped working on my journey home with just 5 miles to go.
I could hear ticking coming from the speedo before hand and it started bouncing a little.
When this happened in the past, I pressed the trip reset and pulled back out and it resolved it. But not today. Instead, the speedo just stopped working in its entirety.
Could the trip reset have broken something inside the binnacle?
The lambda box connection looks good as does the angle drive at the wheel.
I hope it’s not the angle drive..... 

On the plus side I’ve now covered 500+ miles and all is relatively well with 11477.....

Hi, all,

New to the forum but joined the club in '99. Finally after waiting nearly 30 years, I got a DMC-12 last week, VIN 5294. It came over from Texas last year & it's not yet registered in the UK but hopefully I'll be doing that in a week or so.
Spent the last few days cleaning the interior & doing the odd bit of 'tinkering' as that's all I can do 'til it's road legal, lol 

See you in the future!

Rob.

Hi guys

I have a very similar problem to Nick H where my car becomes stuttery and hesitant under load:
http://deloreans.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=5821

But in my case I strongly suspect it's my fuel pump. A couple of months back I took my car down to Alex Canini near Hastings for a tune up and suspension work.
He discovered that my fuel pump would change output depending on what angle it was placed in!
It's not something I had noticed before but now that my car is much more stable handling wise and after tuning I find myself driving her faster.


Our working theory is that under heavy load the pump is shifting slightly and cutting out, as the car slows and it moves back normal flow is returned resulting in the pulling feeling I get.

The previous owner had replaced the pump about 3 years ago but seems it's a bit of a noddy-no-make. Assuming it is the pump what's the best one to replace it with?
I know there is an all in one jobby with the filter built in from the likes of Special T or should I go with the more traditional one sold by DeLorean Go?
