  Wanted: Anti-roll bar

Hi All, has anyone got an anti-roll bar going spare? The shipping on this will probably be a bit painful from Houston!

Thanks in advance

  Window washer motor
Posted by: Future - 20 Jan 2018, 20:20 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (4)

Hi guys,

my window washer motor failed a while ago. I disconnected it and ordered a new one from Ed (the same as DMC USA from the picture).
The one I got is rather different from the one that was on the DeLorean.
In the way that it doesn't fit on the reservoir.
Do you guys know why there is a difference between these motors.
I have #1879.
Sorry for the blurry photo's.

  Car won't start - suggestions?
Posted by: priesh - 09 Jan 2018, 16:44 - Forum: 1 - Engine - Replies (19)

Hi all,

As some of you may know I took ownership of #1373 at the end of November. I have been travelling since and away for xmas so haven't had a chance to start the car up since I got it into my garage (after driving it 300 miles from Durham to Bucks - Kris also drove it down to Birmingham and back for the car show).

I trickle changed the battery over the past couple of days (i did lock it off at the battery as it has a switch but thought just to be sure I'd charge it), and attempted to start it yesterday.

The fuel pump turns on at position 2 (i get the buzzing), and the starter turns at position 3, but the engine won't start. Tried initally without any pedal, then tried with some accelerator but no luck.

I also noticed a few drips on the garage floor under the engine after trying for a couple of minutes - assume that is because I flooded the engine?

Few questions:

How to people tend to start their cars? Do you give it any fuel, or just turn the key?
Are there any tips to starting the car I should know about?
How long do you crank at position 3?
I know there are things I can check/bypass (CSV etc), but it would be good to have a definitive list and order to check?

As you can see I am quite new to this, but am looking forward to figuring this out!

Cheers,

Priesh

  1982 Black manual - £33,500 - circa 2,000 miles
Posted by: TristanC - 04 Jan 2018, 18:53 - Forum: DeLorean Cars or Parts For Sale or Wanted - Replies (2)

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/...rt/8212819

Fresh import as of September 2017.

Seems to have had some significant work performed on her.
Although missing the DMC grill badge and rear license plate surround, which is a shame.

Looks like a decent buy for £33,500 though.

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/...82/8202599
Located in Antrim.
It’s an Auto, no mention of interior colour.
I’ve contacted the chap for more info, but he’s not very forthcoming with anything more than the price at £40,000 and a couple of pics, which I’ve attached.
