Hi folks

Noticed recently that my battery light comes on the odd time when driving and my volt meter will drop. If I turn the car off and on again the light goes out and stays out for the rest of the journey. This happens every now and again but I am starting to think that is the alternator on its way out rather than there being a loose wire behind the dash.

Any ideas.

Hi all I have a squeeky altenator and but i don't know wether it's the belt or the alt itself. what do you think anyone. should i just tighten the belt or what.

I have had my car for nearly five years and it has always started from hot or cold on one crank.

I have noticed recently though that if the engine has been run and I go back to start it if you do a crank to start and let go there is now approximately a one second pause and then the engine decides to then start but the pause is long enough to make me wonder if is going to or not.

Is something starting to finally wear and any ideas out there to what the cause could be?

Could this be the early signs of a hot start problem?

Hi folks

Just before Eurofest I ordered a set of mats from the DOA website, one of their members brought the mats in their hand luggage to save on postage.

I have had these mats in my car now for 5 months and they are great, probably about an inch thick of soft shag carpet with a waterproof backing.

Since then I have decided to buy the rear carpet that covers the panels to the fuse box and engine computer. This arrived yesterday morning and is even better looking than I imagined.

I went for a grey carpet with DELOREAN in silver letters accross the center. Again it is about an inch thick and seems to fit much better than the old original one I had.

Anyone who has been thinking of buying one of these and wants some pictures just let me know.

Hi this is Rach Young here! I thought I should introduce myself. I am a brand new member of the DOC (finally after 2 years!!!) and I joined up at the NEC classic car show (great stand by the way), I spent most of the show at the Jowett car club stand because that is my other club (dad owns 9 jowetts so I suppose he has to be a member!). Just thought I would say hello and see if I could work this computer, I dunno if anyone can remember me? Does anyone from the DOC live around Herefordshire??

Anyway hope your all well!!
Rach xXx

Would this be road legal in the UK? If for instance the wings were painted in the pigment so that they would glow yellow or blue in the dark?

Hi all

I am currently cleaning the engine whilst the exhaust is off and this bracket and wires was loose (not bolted to anything) it was only attached with by the wire that has broken (i only gave it a gentle tug) all other wires were free!



I now have some questions!

1.Is it the diagnostics socket?

2. Should the bracket screw on to the same place as the auto trans dip stick?



3. where does the yellow wire attach?

4. the second wire (in the photo) has broken/ the other half is deep down where the cat was....(Do you know the one i mean) - there are three tiny wires inside (Red, White and bare?) - Can i twist them all together and solder both halfs back together and tape up - or do they have to be connected separately - what does it do?

worse case scenario i will buy a new one from DMCH - but can i fix it?


5. where does the final wire(S) go - t has a strange black male connector.

6. Could i leave the unit off?

7. what size nuts attach this to the engine block?

many thanks

Craig

This is a good website that turns all your images into a series of dots like newspaper print.

hi all

just to let you know, i have received the seat adjust bars from Lotus, however they are different.

shorter and bent differently (so they will be jammed on the floor)

however the end fit is perfect, so with a blowtorch and a wooden board to fix to, i'll try and bend to the correct profile.

shorter but will just need to reach under a tiny bit more.

i'll let every know how it goes as just over £10 new the pair is good!!!.
