The french owner above has used stainless steel screws instead of pop-rivets. Pop-rivets can leave dimples visible through the top part of the door if done wrong. Is there any disadvantage to using screws providing they are the right. If the rubber fails again in the near future the screws are far easier to remove and re-use if turned without force.

I am not aware of any major restorations on the list so far but most owners work on their cars (or have vendors/others) work on their car.

I have just seen the Presentation section on the French forum:-
http://delorean.fr/forum/viewforum.php?f=8

The above encourages owners to show their car (we could list the vin) and as the car evolves with the owner they can log what they have been doing with photos. Would make a great article for the magazine too each issue to follow different owers with different cars.

So, how about it. We could list:-
vin 5255 Oct 81 grey 5-speed owned by Chris Hawes
would contain pictures of the car, mods and to do list etc.

This will take time, but would grow just like the forum has... what do you all think?

Hello all, just want to introduce myself here.
I'm a French owner since 1995 and I was a member of your club, but I received my last issue a few weeks ago.
The forum looks great and full of advices.
Have a great day :wink:

Ok, very OT I know - but this is the OT section afterall! :wink:

Before I do a Jasper Carrott with a 12 bore in the back garden, has anyone got any really good tips for getting rid of Moles? (could be one for you techies out there to get inventive)

I've got one which is working its way across the back garden, and I've shovelled up 7 huge molehills tonight :evil:

I wouldnt mind, but 15 feet away is the hedge which seperates us from the farmer's field!

The only 'humane' suggestion I've had sofar is half burying bottles in the ground as apparantly moles dont like the noise of the wind blowing across them :?

Any suggestions before I start blowing the little b***ard up? :lol:

Hi Dean

I know this is all starting to sound like a 'stuck record' , but as NickT has pointed out, has your mechanic done a proper fuel pressure test ?, this will confirm if the part is faulty or not. No point of spending hard earned cash on parts you dont need bud .

In no way as detailed as NickT s 'How to' in the back of the last mag but of some use all the same :-

BTW All:-

There will be a fuel pressure test kit available for use at Eurotec. Along with a demonstration session on this.

Hi All,

Just finished plumbing the 4-pot on the front this weekend. Also went tank diving fitting new baffle.

Hope the piccy attached o.k.

4-pots over standard disc. Disc replacment may be needed, but they stop pretty firm now...

This is fun:

Hopefully I will be learning how to do this next year...

Believe it or not, this is Huey Lewis holding a megaphone.

Having fitted the stage two engine I am still awaiting the return of an uprated metering head Etc. How can I slightly enrich the present DeLorean set up to allow smother running? until I have got all the corrrect components. Would it be simply a case of twiddling an adjustment somewhere
Thanks
Chris

Would someone be good enough to confirm the ignition timing for me please? from memory is it 12% BTDC with ignition advance detached? or am I completly wrong??
Thanks
Chris
