Well I am now officialy a proper delorean owner now I have experienced a breakdown on the way home from norfolk.
The questionmark hose split and dropped off the fuel pump and the pump then sucked up a bit of the rubber off the hose and promptly siezed up. So now I am after a new fuel pump. It has the external check valve. Does anyone have any spares they are willing to sell, or can anyone recomend a place to get them at not stupid money?
Many thanks,
Dan

I just looked on Ed's site. 100 euro so 80 quid ish. I doubt they are any cheaper in a local motor factors? If it could be added to the order that would be great and I'll nip down and get it off you and give you the cash? If its too late I'll probably order one anyway if no one int club has one.

I'll ask Ed tomorrow and let you know, I think you can source one in the UK but not for a lot cheaper....plus its good to keep Ed busy!

Sorry to hear that Dan. I hope you physically got the car home safely via a transporter or the like......
Bloody typical after such a good weekend too isn't it?
Anyway, I've got an MOT on Monday......
Keep us all posted on how you get on mate.....

Hi
i doubt you will get better than £80 ish
my first one i paid seventy something, the last one £100 ish (needed quick)
now i had trouble with the fuel feed line, i had a specialTauto banjo which seemed too short.
so when fitted, blew the ful line off, and pumped fuel around tank and under car, a very scary moment.
so now i have bought the propper banjo with racing screw thread fittings which is 100 times better.
the weak point now is where the flexi line hits the hard fuel line, as i have undon the 80's nuts but the end of the old line will not come off.
therefore i petrol pipe clipped onto the long barbs left.
the whole thing is not a nice job, messing with petrol, and having your D's tank open.
