This gave me a little chuckle

I'm worried that the standard delorean transmission isn't strong enough to cope with a 350 small block V8 what do you think?

Hi all,

I purchased my Delorean at the start of last year, and as the door lighting would run down the battery, i disconnected the wires from the switches.

I have since replaced the bulbs with leds, but no matter how i connect the wires back to the switches the lights wont work. I have checked the fuse which is fine and tried various ways of connecting the wires back to the switches to no success.

What am i doing wrong?

Can someone also please be kind enough to look at their Delorean, and confirm which wires go where. 4 on driver door and 2 on passenger door.

Thank you.

I drove a 200 mile trip yesterday and noticed that the steering felt like it was tugging on something whilst on the return leg. :?

I raised the car onto axle stands this afternoon and was pleased to find the cause but also realised how serious it could have been if the aircon hose had ruptured. :oops: It is item 18 part number 100748 as seen at the below link.

It is surely no co-incidence that the installation of my stainless steel brake hoses that were fitted only the other week or so ago could have potentially disturbed and finished off what must have been a weak rubber sleeve that holds the aircon pipe in place. As the rubber sleeve split it dropped the aircon hose thus placing it so that the threaded end of the bolt that links the upper steering shaft to the steering column end caught on the hose with each turn of the steering.

The offending bolt:-

The first image shows how the rotation of the bolt has shredded the rubber sheath revealing the layer below. Fortunately the pipe is still intact and there has been no leak. I have never seen a cross reference of this pipe but curious to know how much material there is separating the refrigerant from the outside world...



The following two images show what I believe to be the torn rubber sleeve hanging below the aircon hose. I have hoisted the coolant hose up out of the way so that you can see the damage on the hose and how in the lower position it was being shredded.




I have circled the offending bolt in the following image, but the camera has not focussed on the damaged material.



I was going to find a suitable rubber compound to repair the protective part of the pipe. I have moved it around gently to do the photos and determine the extent of the damage. It has not leaked.
Can anyone clarify how much pipe there is between the gas and me?

Even if it had leaked how can you easily replace this pipe? It is tucked between the pontoon and the chassis. The metal ends would surely mean that you cannot simply lubricate the pipe to aid pulling it out. Would this really mean a chassis/pontoon separation or John Hervey's twin piece version?

I haven't found the replacement supportive sleeve in the manual yet, but would anyone be able to send me a photo illustrating the correct mounting/support of the aircon pipe?

Unless someone has a better suggestion I was going to repair the pipe and then re-mount it.

Thanks in advance?

Hi folks

Noticed recently that my battery light comes on the odd time when driving and my volt meter will drop. If I turn the car off and on again the light goes out and stays out for the rest of the journey. This happens every now and again but I am starting to think that is the alternator on its way out rather than there being a loose wire behind the dash.

Any ideas.

Hi all I have a squeeky altenator and but i don't know wether it's the belt or the alt itself. what do you think anyone. should i just tighten the belt or what.

I have had my car for nearly five years and it has always started from hot or cold on one crank.

I have noticed recently though that if the engine has been run and I go back to start it if you do a crank to start and let go there is now approximately a one second pause and then the engine decides to then start but the pause is long enough to make me wonder if is going to or not.

Is something starting to finally wear and any ideas out there to what the cause could be?

Could this be the early signs of a hot start problem?
