Replacing 13 lines inc fuel Filter |

Winter hours and finally replacing all 13 Fuel lines, Injectors and spark plugs! All going well jumped fuel pump and no leaks. Now onto the dredded Fuel filter and struggling to disconnect from the hard fuel line. I was hoping to fit the new updated elbow that has Copper O ring rather than ptfe. Any tips other than WD40 or is it worth cutting the old fuel line unscrewing the old filter and not chance snapping the hard line that disappears into the Chassis. If the hard fuel line was damaged what is the solution without taking the body off???
Thanks
Chris. VIN 2436

We are now organising this year's picnic, and are inviting local car clubs to come and join us. The event is a car show that usually attracts 400/500 classic vehicles, ranging from veterans to modern classics. There are also bands, choirs, bars, cafes and stalls. The event is on Saturday June 8th at Halls Green, near Weston SG4 7DP. Gates open at 11:00, entry is £5.00 for cars £2.00 for motorbikes/pedestrians We would very much like to invite members of the Delorean Owners Club to come along and join us for this very enjoyable event. We can arrange club parking areas, if members would like to stay together.
Regards,
Simon Ansell

Air con / heater system - function advice please? |

Hey all, wondering if anyone has an answer to this query..?
OK, so, happy days, my air con (having been checked over and regassed earlier this summer) now works.
Unfortunately, some as-yet-to-be-determined fault means that my radiator fans don't respond to any 'automatic' signal(s) from anywhere in the car. Including turning on the air con.
When I got the car, the radiator fan was set to 'permanently on' by means of a connection directly across the otterstat switch (I understand this happens a fair bit?).
A new otterstat hadn't solved the problem.
Up until now, no problem; I installed a manual switch in the cabin and have installed temp sensors in the engine and gauges in the cabin; I keep an eye on those, and if the engine temp warrants it, I turn the rad fans on. Just means a bit of extra alertness required..!
Of course, this means I also have to turn the rad fans on when the air con is on (again, doesn't come on automatically).
Something obviously amiss somewhere in the rad fan control circuit, but sorting that's a job (on the list!) for another day..
(Sorry, finally getting to the question here!)
Now, the air con/ heater master control knob goes through various 'modes' as you turn it. IIRC, it's 'max' air con, then 'norm' air con, then 'bi-level', then 'vent', then 'heater' and finally 'defrost'.
Clearly the air con is expected to be ON and I NEED to have the rad fans running for the first two modes.
But (and here, at last, is the question): what other modes is the Air Con system supposed to be nominally 'ON'? (or in other words, in what other modes does the air con normally activate, in a fully functioning system?)
I have not dared to use anything other than the first two 'air con' modes up 'til this point, 'cos obviously if the air con switches on but the rad fans aren't also on then I could boil (?) or otherwise bu99er up my air con; conversely, I don't want to put the rad fans on unnecessarily if in fact the system is in a mode in which the air con would be 'off'.
I guess a related question is: what does the system actually do in 'bi-level' and 'vent' modes..?
For completeness, my presumption is that warm air is blown into (respectively) the car or up onto the windscreen in the 'heater' or 'defrost' modes.
(but is the air con also on, of course..?)
Look forward to any nuggets of wisdom!!
Cheers aye,
Ivan..
