  De Havilland Aircraft Museum
Posted by: theningiachicken - 21 Feb 2023, 14:09 - Forum: London - Replies (2)

Quote:Dear Events Organiser,
The De Havilland Aircraft Museum is a popular destination for Car Clubs of all types and we have hosted Clubs from Aston Martin, Saab and many others during the last 12 months.
For the standard admission price, we will allow members to park their cars in a dedicated area adjacent to our aircraft exhibits, thus enhancing the photographic opportunities for your cars.
However, if you would like your group visit to be something special, we can offer you our Group Tour package at £20 per head.

For groups of 10 or more people we are pleased to offer an all-inclusive Group Tour package of tea or coffee with biscuits on arrival, followed by a special 2 hour guided tour conducted by one of our dedicated team of experts. 
If you are making a day of it, we can also organise a buffet lunch for your group should you require it.
The enclosed leaflet summarises our key attractions.
email sent to Claire,
 
Who would be interested in having a club event here? seems like if there's enough of us we can have a better deal for price and a buffet lunch?
If there is enough interest then we can look at dates for sometime in the next few months.

  Autobox throwback/jump
Posted by: theningiachicken - 06 Feb 2023, 15:08 - Forum: 4 - Transmission - Manual & Automatic - Replies (6)

So the title is a bit weirdly worded but basically when I shift into reverse from drive or any other gear i get a really big jolt backwards when the gear engages. now its gotten a bit more violent today when i gave the refurbished Govenor a good test run around town. me and Rich Hanlon have come to a point where we think its being caused by the torque converter.

anyone got any ideas on what could be causing the issue?

  Speedometer magnet(ism)
Posted by: Dan Willis - 04 Feb 2023, 21:37 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (2)

Hi all,

In all my years around DeLoreans, I've not come across this one.
So, first question is; anyone know any cross references or how the inner workings of the speedo work?

Here's the issue. My speedo needle doth not move. The mileage increases (both barrels) so before anyone mentions it, it's not angle drive or cable related Wink. To add, I have the speedo out and have spun it up with a drill and, nada.

The speedo itself is a metal cup/magnet affair. The cup is attached (with spring) to the needle. If I spin the cup, the needle moves.
The cable-end has the magnet on it. No matter how I spin that, it doesn't drag the cup around (but the mileage increases so I know it's doing something right).

The question is, before I start dismantling it and realise I can't buy a new one (really), is it likely I just need to remagnetise the magnet? That is, if I can. Otherwise, is there something else that should be in this that might be missing? (it really is just a cup and a metal rectangle that spins within it).

Cheers!

  Replacement battery cables
Posted by: Rissy - 25 Jan 2023, 08:26 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (7)

I tried social media for an answer, and nobody could give me one.  I’m hoping someone here knows.

I’m thinking about changing out my battery cables.  That is, the chunky cables which go between the battery terminals and elsewhere.  The purpose behind this is to give me the easier option of a posted battery rather than the original terminal style.  Side terminal batteries are thin on the ground and getting fewer options every time I need to consider a new battery.

I’m interested in keeping my original cables intact, so therefore would like to fully replace what’s there with new, hopefully more flexible made up cables.

So, with everything explained and hopefully justified, I’m after someone telling me the dimensions of the cables I need.  Cross sectional area (mm2) or at least diameter or even better gauge or amp capability.  And of course, length so I have enough in each length to get from the battery to the other end with room to spare for pulling the battery in and out of its cubby hole.

I’m hoping someone can come through for me here.  Social media just seems to sport on additional questions etc from others rather than a simple straight answer to a simple straight question.  I don’t mind the other comments etc from others if they answer the question first.  But to only bring those to the table with no actual answer to the original question.  Well I find this frustrating.

Thanks in advance.  I hope.

  Cargo net lower fixings
Posted by: lordivanhoe - 23 Jan 2023, 10:11 - Forum: 8 - Frame / Body / Interior - Replies (2)

Hi, a long time ago (it seems) I took my cargo net off as part of getting the back panels off to do some maintenance work.
I have got the back panel on along with the upper cargo net hooks, so no problem there:
However, I'm failing to remember how the cargo net affixes at the bottom edge!  I've looked at the various websites which show which parts I'm supposed to use, but am not really any the wiser as to how they go together..
Has anyone got a nice clear photo which shows the cargo net fixing apparatus at the bottom edge, perchance?
Cheers!
Ivan
