Hi guys. Can anyone help me with my headlights please. When my lights are on and i go to full beam only my side lights work and dip beam goes out. I'm guessing this is an MOT failier :roll: Any sugestions greatfully received.

Hello,

I got to go out and drive a Delorean again yesterday, one that I am interested in buying. Its in very good condition, inside and out.

However, I found that changing down into second gear was very tricky - even the owner had trouble. Working up through the gears is no problem at all (nice and smooth), but going from 4th or 5th into 2nd was difficult, as the gear did not consistantly engage.

Is this a common problem on a DeLorean, and is it fixable? Or is it a quirk of the car and something that I just need to get used too? Maybe I'm too used to using modern gearboxes - do I need to double de-clutch going down?

I'd like to know as aside from that issue, the car is in superb shape and I'm hoping that it can be mine shortly!


Cheers,

Simon

My fuse box is becoming more than a little twichy and I am looking to install a more long term fix than just another OEM item.

The above could be interesting. I remember the Maddie DeLorean has an unusual solution by using aerospace technology, is the owner of this car/Dan Willis' first DeLorean (or someone who knows of it) on the list who can comment more on this approach.

Inline fuses have the advantage of a single replacement for each socket which is an easy solution rather than the whole block being tarnished, although inlines could get messy and surely take up more space.

Any suggestions?

Hi all

Bought myself a fancy Alpine powered bass box and need a ground location for it. Before I blow something up can anyone tell me a good location for a ground in the Relay box??

I have to wire the 12v connection straight to the battery and will be using the wire under the gear stick for the switched 12v but cant seem to remember where there is a ground wire around there.

Any help most appreciated.

I recently fitted a new switch (same as the glove box type) in the engine bay as my alarm system needs it and I am extremely anxious to upgrade the festoon bulb to an LED type due to the many reports of this being a potential fire hazard if left as is.

I am also tempted to convert the other 3 festoon bulbs in the car to LED too (1x luggage compartment, 2x interior).

Does anyone know of a source they can recommend before I revert to a random supplier and unknown quality of goods...

Thanks in advance

Hi all - we all know that A/T governor computers CAN be a pain, and the improvements are well documented, but does anybody have a circuit diagram for the governor computer at all? Does one even still exist?

I fear I may have cooked mine with some over-enthusiastic solenoid testing!

Hi all.

Well, as you probably know me by now, I work for the AA. I can now get "for all delorean members" a better deal than last year for new membership, or renewals at the show. Plus I have now got contacts at Toad,Clifford,Meta,Trackstar,&Road for all your alarms needs. If any of you want one, or want to fit there own, I can get them at a good price. Better than shop prices! So, if anyone would like any, let me know.

( hint hint dan might need one )

Hi All

Has anyone fitted these mirrors from:-

www.deloreana.com ???

Seem like a very good idea, but in practice do these work well on a LHD car on 'our' side of the road?

Thoughts please

Hi all!

About 6 weeks ago my screen cracked at the bottom on the drivers side and spread quite rapidly

I had it replaced on my insurance with autoglass exeter (pilkington glass?)

I then garaged the car for 5 weeks as i went away and when i got it out the screen was cracked this time from the top on the passenger side.

I have called Autoglass and they are coming to inspect the car as their workmanship was gauranteed...i am hoping they will agree to replace again FOC!

Any experience of this? Any Ideas?

many thanks

Craig
