Hi guys, been off this forum and the car for a while. 
Gonna try and be more active this time around!

The car smells of old fuel a bit, especially the rear, just in front of the charcoal cannister (i was checking for a loose hose) i saw a part ive never noticed before. It has 1, possibly 2 fuel hoses going to it. You can only see it with the charcoal can removed, looking into the pontoon. 


What is it ?


Hopefully someone can also help with this, i have a digital door module and remote kit semi fitted, but have no instructions. The digi controller is from delorean.com and has “delorean lock module rev.3.5” on the circuit board, and 2 red 2 green led’s. On the case is “3651-16”. 

Theres also a remote controller board and some relays. The remote has  4 buttons, lock, unlock, trunk, and a yellow lights button. 

I cant find a pdf / anything about how to wire it up etc. its been sat in storage for a while. 
Help please!

Im loving that now the cars 40, no tax no mot, i just insured it very cheap with the post office lol.

2 cars going through the Silverstone Auctions at the NEC Classic Car Show this year:

& this dodgy looking one   https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa08...n=1&pp=100

Both well loved cars that have been in the UK for a long time.

Looking for a good condition exhaust muffler.
Mine has collapsed inside and I don't have the funds to get a SS exhaust at the moment.
With or without exhaust tips it doesn't matter.

Hi all

Aware that I might as well put an ad out for rocking horse poop but I am in the market for a pleated hood (no flap) to make 4267 right again.

Have spoken to Ed who doesn't have any. Moderately willing to travel to Europe to collect, but with the sterling in the bin AND the increase in shipping costs I'm not too keen to import from the US unless there's really no other option.

Cheers all,

M

Hi all.

I'm trying to find a Delorean that was in the UK back in 1996. A car dealership in Cornwall allowed the owner to store it on the roof top. It had still had US Florida plates on so possibly imported that year? Don't remember seeing any damage and it looked clean inside.  
Can anyone help?

Licence plate: HKT 660

A few images of my car, been a bit of a lurker for a year, had the car about a year. 
Really been looking for a RHD which would be my preference, purely for uniqueness. Looked at some, but still looking.

Since my ownership, I have had it re grained by Chris N, dashboard recovered in original vinyl. Steering, auto gearbox, mechanical, suspension all put back to how it should be.

Big question, am I a fan of the car, eeerrrrrrmmmmmm, to be honest, it drives Ok but no more, probably attracts too much attention for my liking but there is definately something about them

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have spotted this!

   

My car has an autobox problem.
I had my doubts about the integrity of the box when I bought the project car, judging from the fact that the project had a spare governor.

The first indication of my "problem" was when driving it home.
The car had developed a whine and initially I put it down to the silencer box which gave up up the ghost. It drove ok for a few miles, however, I eventually lost drive in all gears and had to be recovered by the AA.

I later found out that by removing fuse 13 I could get drive in 3rd? and reverse. My limited DeLorean knowledge suggested to me a governor problem?

I changed the governor with my spare,tested by electronics guru Tony Cole 

Removing the sump, I checked the ohmage on the solenoids and they are fine. I installed a New filter and fresh fillup of 4.5 litres of ATF.

Fuse 13 is fine.

After it was all buttoned up, when I select 1 or 2, there is a high pitched whine with no drive.

When I Select drive or reverse, it drives but just 3rd (I guess) and reverse (see later video).

So I'm thinking that the gearbox is Fuc .....faulty?

The photo shows a small round pin (next to a 10mm spanner) that was stuck to a magnet in the sump.

This is the first auto car I've had in 48 years of driving just manual/stick cars, so this problem is not one I can think through

So my question is .... are there any recommendations for somebody in the UK, that I could drop the box to for a rebuild please?

Edit. I tried to upload a video showing the problem but to no avail.

Here is a link to the video. Cheers

Hi all,

its that time again, as you will have seen from DeLorean News Magazine (and possibly the Club
Facebook Page) that I'm on the hunt again for submissions to the 2023 Club Calendar.

I've had some amazing stuff sent over already, but I could do with a few more photos of different
cars to add some variety.

So, go through your photos, and email me over nice landscape photos of your cars!  Ideally without
lots of people in the shots, but if photos were taken at a show I know that can't always be helped.

I need submissions ideally by the end of this month, the printer is on standby to get going as soon as 
I collate everything and send it over to him.

Hopefully we can get a price similar to last year, but with everything going up in price for suppliers.... we 
shall  have to wait and see.

Email treasurer@deloreans.co.uk please, I look forward to receiving your photos!

Claire

bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a gear shift crossgate cable, part number 101363?  Mine
is worn and completely shot, it explains why my car always had a challenging gear change!

I can get one from Ed or DMCH, but at a price.....  Anyone on here possibly got one I can purchase?
