I started to investigate the fuel gauge issue (which I didn’t finish)
And came across this loose ground wire (clearly chewed) and have no idea where it goes to..... 
any ideas?

Hello lovely delorean people. I have done more than my bit for Car Clubs with the TT Owners Club so know how tough it is ... I have now taken a charity role after early redundancy from IBM and we are running a pop up Cinema on 7th September to raise funds for more early years equipment for the Children’s Playground in Marlow Bottom. We are a registered charity, Marlow Bottom Playing Fields. We are showing Back to the Future, and it would be wonderful if one or more of you owners could bring a car along to display. We are happy to cover reasonable fuel expenses plus the movie and a Pint of Rebellion (who are running the Bar ) or glass of wine and a Burger (or veggie equivalent) , we would need Cars from 6pm until 8pm latest. Can anyone help please.

Hi all - what value do people tend to use for wheel nut torque? 

I've seen it at 80nm and 100nm in the manual and I'm not sure which to use. 

Cheers!

Dear DeLorean Club members,

With my restoration of vin 11789, the latest state of play is that I had installed all the new injectors after flushing fuel through all the lines. I checked delivery of the fuel using the "Bottle Test" and all was good.

Then bloody "Murphy's Law!" kicked in and one banjo bolt snapped on the metering head, THE last one too!!
- I'll need to order a replacement as I don't have a spare banjo.

My intention was just to blip the engine over - I still hadn't filled it back up with water for that so on Sunday I checked all hose clamps - every one had been replaced  along with new water pipes. , thermostat, water pump etc.

So I filled it up through the expansion tank ,with the top (small) pipe off the top of the rad and the bleed nipple open.

After tightening the front rad pipe, I heard the dreaded  drip drip - quite a bit actually, coming from the "screw in" otterstat .

I had to grind down a 60 year old spanner to fit it and had to wedge the ali coolant pipe with pieces of wood so that I could get some "torque" on the otterstat.

That one was sorted .. then water was spilling out of the bleed nipple - I'd tightened it but still it poured out.

It was a nipple that just kept on "giving". I tried it again adding a copper washer - nope the brand new bleed nipple is SNAFU.

So I installed the original brass one, much better ... and jobs a good un. 

A small weep then showed up around the thermostat - where it mated to the water pump - so I had to take the horns off - nip up the bolts - there was still a small weep and I'll check again tomorrow . I may even contemplate using some gasket sealant !!! .. but am loath to do so?

Finally after fixing an earth problem I bridged the otterstat wires and the fans came on - cool 

Almost there!!!

anybody know where I could get the templates for carpets ,

Following positive and encouraging conversations with your team on the Club Stand at the NEC Classics in November, I wanted to write to you and formerly extend our invitation for the DeLorean Owners Club to be our headline Guest Marque at our Classic & American Car Day on Bank Holiday Monday 28th May 2018 (see attached)
 
It was suggested that there are several members within half an hour from our location MK44 1LX in the North Bedfordshire countryside with some of them aware of our events already – obviously I would like to throw the invitation as wide as possible and have as many DeLorean’s attend to make it a spectacular gathering – you are more than welcome to make it one of your club’s official gatherings!
 
Being our headline Guest Marque has the following benefits:
 
Free Entry for All DeLorean Owners & Passengers – Usually £5 per show car – You will still receive a £3 voucher towards breakfast at our Kiosk as well as a Commemorative Gift
Priority Prominent Parking at the Front of the Hotel with 2 DeLoreans on the Patio and the rest lining the front of the hotel
Discounted 3 Course Lunch for Members in The Amalfi Suite - £20 per person – Example Menu Attached
Club Logo on our Marketing Flyers & Event Information
You will feature on our Classics & American 2018 Event coverage – check out our Supercar Sunday 2017 - https://youtu.be/8KL4Gxsn3_M
 
If you would like to discuss the above & attached further or put in touch with the local area events coordinator that would be absolutely great – I am contactable via this email or on 07775 717199. I will require your club logo for our marketing purposes and discuss the rest of the arrangements with the appointed club contact,
 
Kind Regards
