Well she's done it again..... for the 6th year running
Passed first time with no advises.
Handbrake stood on its own 2 feet again, but only just..... 17% I think, and 16% is the minimum - but lets face it DeLorean handbrakes are useless anyway!
Emissions were fine
No play in anything
Chassis not changed in 5 years..... What you can see of it!
Credit to its former 2 keepers, Michelle Raad (New Jersey)and Chris Spratt (UK) ......
Aim to spend a lot more money and time on it next year as since the first year of my ownership, it always seems to come second to another car... which is awful really.
I have treated it to some new stuff recently, but I think next year she actually deserves the facias done although they are pretty good, a rebrush it probably dont need, that new radiator finally put in, new fuel pump/housing/cover (As I can smell fuel occasionally around the front and I know when you tank up it leaks out the top... always has) and some work in the engine bay...
I'm getting braver with taking things to pieces, but i'm a long way off doing the work i'd like done myself..... Rather pay someone to do it...
Anyway hope all your D's are safe through winter!
