Is it true that you can clean a DeLorean with windex, that window cleaner stuff?

For various resaons (well, someone piled into the back of the other half's Micra :-( ), we've ended up with a Daewoo (nay Chevrolet) Matiz as a hire car for a few days.

Anyway, the boot light is a perfect replica for the Delorean boot light, fits the same connections and the same hole with no modifications whatsoever. Visually they are identical.

The only difference is that they take a slightly smaller bulb, but still of the same doiuble-ended type, and the same 10W rating...

Don't know about any other Daewoos/ Chevreolet's, but it could be a useful source route to getting hold of a a spare if you're trying to track one down at any point.

Hi all,

I just got my gear shift pivot bolt fixed so I can drive my car again (hooray!), but in the process I discovered that the bonnet release has also broken with no warning, it just moves freely without unlatching. When I first got my car Martin put in a backup wire for when this happened, but unfortunately the problem seems to be with the latch itself rather than a snapped cable because that wire also won't work, and it just pulled straight out without doing anything .

To make it worse I have the flat bonnet with no fuel flap, so I have no way to refuel the car until I can get in there. So my question is, how can I break into my own car's luggage compartment without breaking it? I'm sure I'm not the first to have this problem!

Hi

If i remove the big metal triangle coverin the fuel tank will the tank fall on my head?

how is the tank held in?

many thanks

Craig

Ok here goes

I took my dash apart today to start my new stereo project. Once finished I put everything back together the way it was before (or so i thought)

I have lockzilla and when you lock or unlock the car it flashes all the outside lights and lights up the headlight switch, hazard switch and the instrument cluster/speedo etc. This keeps all these lights on for about 30 seconds and then switches them off. Usualy once I put the key in and turn the headlights on the speedo lights up and the headlight/hazard lights up too. So once I had the dash back together I switched on the headlight switch to test it and it didnt light up nor did it turn on the dash lights - it did turn on the headlights but it ALWAYS turns on the little bulb in the switch and the hazard the funny thing is that it still turns on when I lock or unlock the car, so if it can do it then why cant it do it when I actually press the switch in??

Every other light works including headlights and breaks so why does this not work?? Rheostat WAS working when I took the dash apart but there isnt even any power going to the rheostat as I have tested the wires running to it with a multimeter and tried to connect them both together but this does not work. All the warning lights on the binacle work just not the lights controled by the rheostat. When I first put the headlight switch back in I remember it lighting up when I pressed it on, it was only when I went to reconnect the rheostat that it all stopped working.

Where does the power come from to control the rheostat and light up the dash and the headlight/hazard light as I feel I have blown a fuse or pulled a wire out, but how does it still work with the lockzilla????

IDEAS PLEASE!!!!!
p.s ALL FUSES INTACT IN FUSE BOX (checked them first)

Can any one tell me the part # of the oil pressure switch, mine has decided to drip all over my nice clean floor :lol:

Hello.

When I was looking over the engine compartment, shortly after I got the car, a mechanic friend and I noticed this:


The two should be joined by a small tube.

Can anybody tell me what difference not having the tube fitted will make to the running of the car?



It's only a little thing, but i thought I'd ask around first before I shell out for a 2" piece of tubing :p

cheers m' dears. :lol:
