  Quick Question - your opinions.

Hello.

When I was looking over the engine compartment, shortly after I got the car, a mechanic friend and I noticed this:
[Image: IMG_0957marked.jpg]

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:

  Radio Wiring Harness
Posted by: Pilot25dmc - 27 Sep 2006, 00:22 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (5)

Hi all

Planning a hidden ICE install in the car and need an old radio harness off the back of a Craig radio...

If anyone has an old Craig radio that is beyond repair can you let me know as I would like to cut the harness off the back for my project.

Simply I am going to fit a stereo behind the drivers seat in the cubby hole and still leave my woking Craig in the dash still hooked up to power so that the clock still works. With the cut off harness from an old Craig I dont have to cut into the original wiring.

  Hazard and headlamp switches
Posted by: Chris Hawes - 26 Sep 2006, 20:38 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - No Replies

The functionality of both switches is good. Fuse is good and so are the bulbs, but the hazard switch rarely illuminates.

The headlamp switch always lit up reliably and then I took out the bulb, installed the correct LED replacement, no light. Placed back the original bulb and it no longer works. The bulb filament is still intact though.

Is it just dodgy contacts within the switches for where the bulbs gain a contact?

Thanks in advance

  interior light dimming circuit
Posted by: Chris Hawes - 26 Sep 2006, 20:30 - Forum: 3 - Electrical - Replies (20)

I have seen other cars with this problem, so it can't be that unusual. The interior lights (one near the rear view mirror and the other mounted above the middle of the rear parcel shelf) have three tiltable settings:- OFF/ON WHEN DOORS OPEN/ALWAYS ON/

The 'OFF' or continous 'ON' work fine. The problem is the 'ON WHEN DOORS OPEN' setting on my car they stay off. The white relay:-

when plugged it does nothing. I guess it could be faulty, is there an easy test?

What else could cause this?

Cheers

  Short running
Posted by: Chris Hawes - 26 Sep 2006, 19:11 - Forum: 1 - Engine - Replies (3)

If a DeLorean is started from cold, reversed out of the garage and then immediately driven back in and the engine shut off on nearly a daily basis would this do the car any harm?

This is purely for moving the car out of the way to get at other stuff in the garage...

  Seat Removal
Posted by: Barson - 25 Sep 2006, 15:45 - Forum: 8 - Frame / Body / Interior - Replies (2)

Hello. 8)

I need your help.

To cut a long story short, I need to re-attach the handbrake cable nipples to the handbrake handle mechanism. To do this I need to remove my driver's side seat. (LHD) to get proper access to the handbrake.


Can anybody give us some quick advice on the best way to do this? I've located, underneath the rear of the seat, two square nuts that i believe are holding the seat to the rails (is this right?). Are there any other nuts holding the seat down? and is there anything else i need to look at first before I do this? :? :oops: :lol:

I'm being quite cheap and cheaky in asking this, because im in the midst of purchasing a set of manuals, which would probably tell me all I need to know...

thanks!
Barson.

  Cat Bypass - rubbish fit, poor engineering.
Posted by: NickT - 25 Sep 2006, 12:40 - Forum: 2 - Emission / Fuel Systems - Replies (5)

Mike and I have had another car playing day yesterday and so I thought it was time to fit my cat bypass pipe i bought 3 years ago.

With my car over my pit and my air tools at the ready the exhaust was off in 30 minutes ! I had a look in the cat and it had broken up slightly but still flowed OK and was spot on for the emissions for the MOT (0.02% CO)

Brilliant , or so I thought..... :roll:

When I came to fit the cat bypass pipe the fit was abysmall. We had to spend an hour chopping filing grinding etc. just for it to fit. :evil:

I hope that the quality of these have vastly improved because the one I bought was very very poor.

Just warning everyone else who thinks this is going to be a mornings work.

NickT.
