Hello, 

I am emailing you as Amerton Railway in Staffordshire is holding a two-day classic car event on the 9th and 10th September 2023. We would very much like for individuals or clubs to bring along their classic vehicles to this show. We have previously run this event very successfully as a one day event, but this year we want to go bigger and bring together the immutable mix of classic vehicles and trains! As a registered charity, we're running this event in aid of the continuing maintenance and restoration of our heritage locomotive and carriage fleet .

You can see a little more information about the event and find application forms on our website at www.amertonrailway.co.uk/road-and-rail

I have attached a few photographs of the railway and our previous event. 

If you are interested in attending as a club, we can arrange group applications to save on paperwork, just pop me an e-mail or call me on 07807056814

Thank you very much for your consideration, 
Kris Douglas
Director 
Amerton Railway

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.

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.

Mate bought me these as a thank-you for some bits. Love 'em!!
   

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?

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 . 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!

Not sure what the interest or indeed what/who's car would qualify (Claire perhaps)? but have had a call from this production company looking for a project to do:
