Subject: Re: Coolant leak.
The weep hole is located at the bottom of the pulley shaft behind the
pulley. If the pump is relatively new it should not be leaking. If the leak
is coming from behind the pump you will have to replace both rear hoses.
This is the reason that we suggest that the rear hoses be changed at the
same time as the water pump.
As you mentioned, a cooling system pressure test will reveal the exact
source of the leak.

Subject: RE: Coolant leak.
The weep hole of the water pump is on the bottom of the shaft, directly
behind the pulley. I needed a small mirror to locate mine.
AFAIK, there should only be fluid seeping from the weep hole if the water
pump shaft seal has failed, as was the case with mine. My coolant was
leaking down low to where the timing marks are, not anywhere up top. You
might just have a badly-clamped hose, although getting to it to fix it could
be quite a bit of effort. Good luck,

Subject: Re: Water Temp. & Fans
The fans should turn on at approximately 207 degrees F. Your problem may be
caused by trapped air in the coolant lines. You will need to air bleed your
cooling system or better yet you may want to install an Overheat Protector.
You should also check to be sure that your car is not equipped with the
factory installed Fan Fail Module or 35 amp circuit breaker. Both of these
items have an extremely high failure rate.

Subject: Re: Frame epoxy
I've heard that many of the first cars off the assembly line had too
thick a coating of epoxy on them which resulted in cracking. Once DMC
realized what was happening, a thinner coat was applied to all
chassis after that. I don't know of a VIN cut off number where the
change was put into effect, but I'm pretty sure it happened sometime
in mid '81. While there are suttle variations for certain cosmetic
components and parts, there really isn't a huge differance between
all year models. Judging by the progress & habits of the company,
the DMC-12 probably wouldn't have had a noticible makeover untill
1986.

I have never heard of a time-temperature switch being damaged due to
excessive heat. However based on your test results it appears that your
switch may be defective. This part is not very expensive; why not replace it
and keep it as a spare if its replacement does not correct the problem.

Subject: Re: Fuel Tank Closing Plate
The less amount of gas in the tank the better. Usually the tank itself is wedged tight in the frame and you don't need to worry about it dropping out on you. Check the bolt holes on the plate and frame for rust and repaint as needed. This is where the A/C drain water goes.
What I did to get my tank out was use a piece of piano wire and cut through the foam cushions holding the tank in place. DO NOT try to use a pry bar or screwdriver on the tank, it is plastic and you may poke a hole in it. Make sure you have disconnected all the hoses and wires on the
top side first. The rear of the tank comes down first, the front sits on the crossmember, slide the tank to the rear and the front will drop down.When you have the tank out you may want to replace the two rubber fuel line hoses to the fuel pump at this time.
Getting the tank out is no easy task. If you start getting frustrated, walk away and come back later. Good luck.

I'm not sure but based on your description of what you have done. I would
check the mounting bases for all fuses and relays to be sure that when you
pushed them back in you didn't inadvertently push the wire out the back of
the socket. Happened to me and it is caused by the locking tab on the socket
connectors being week. Just a thought?

It says that John's hearings are about to end and that creditors estimate he will pay off 99% of the $85 million he owes. It says he was evicted from his 434-acre Mansion in New Jersey, and now he is living in a hotel.

Subject: Re: Frame epoxy
My suspicion is that you are referring to the later cars that were
undercoated al la "Ziebart" after they sat in storage at the prep
centers for a while. I've seen this on many 1982-production cars. It
is a black wax substance sprayed over the normal grey epoxy. In the
beginning it probably did some good as far as retarting moisture, but
now is it brittle and flaking off too. At this point in time it is
probably not doing any good, and may be causing some moisture-
retention problems that the epoxy does.
IMHO it makes working on the bottom of the car a pain in the neck.
Some of the application was done non-to-carefully and really makes a
mess when you go to take things apart such as fuel filters and
cooling piping.

Actually, I think there is more to the story than this. DMC Joe is right
about all the cars having epoxy coating applied with the same process
originally. However, some of the 1983 DeLoreans also had ordinary
undercoating applied over the epoxy. This was done because they sat for a
long time (I believe near the ocean). After weeks or months there was
concern that they might develop some rust or corrosion, so the undercoating
was applied to all the cars just in case.
Having judged the undercarriage at Millennium: The DeLorean Motor Company
Concours in Saint Louis, I got a good look at both undercarriage versions.
On cars that have the ordinary undercoating, it was sprayed everywhere: on
horns, shock absorbers, oil filters, wires, everything. Compared to the
smooth, clean look of the epoxy the ordinary undercoating looks ugly.
However it did work, at least on some cars. My personal observation was
that a car with both types of undercoating was slightly better preserved
than a car with only the epoxy undercoating.

Just thought I'd share this with you: another amazing De Lorean feat! :)
Well, not really, but today we were driving around in the D which contained
two people and an EIGHT FOOT light bulb! :-p (Needless to say we weren't
going too far...)

Hi
My name is Larry. I'm not really sure what you are
exactly looking for but I have an unique DeLorean that
might interest you for a museum.
I have a 1981, automatic, black interior, with 4700
miles on the car. It is a unique motorcar, especially
for a museum. It is vin # 614 or #617 (I don't have
my paper work here with me at this time) It was one
of the first few Deloreans ever produced and from all
that I can tell it was the first automatic produced
and sold. What makes it even more unique is that it
was used as a Delorean training car and has a sticker
affixed to the windshield stating "Official Delorean
Training Car" I believe that it was used for such
things as display in the Detroit Motor Show etc,. I
am a Rolls-Royce dealer in Ft. Lauderdale Fl., but
this is my own personal car. I purchased it about 3-4
years ago from one of my Rolls-Royce customers. The
car needs nothing. I spent $5,000 on the car last
year just upgrading anything that it might need just
to keep it in good shape. (new injectors, new batters,
upgraded alternator, etc.. I am asking $25,000 for
the car, though I am not actively trying to sell it.
I know that there are cheeper Deloreans available but
not in this condition or with this history. If there
is any Delorean that should "appreciate" in value, I
would think that this is the one.
Anyway, if you have an interest, you may feel free to
give me a call at (954) 779-2026 (if I am not there
please leave a message) or you can e-mail to me at
lkoden@xxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your time.
Larry K. Oden
