Subject: OEM Oil Filter
An excellent article entitled "Comparative Analysis of Oil Filters"
by Stephen Wynne was printed in DeLorean World Volume 7 No. 1. The
article includes some very good photos of the insides of the DeLorean
OEM oil filter and other after market filters, plus a description of
the differences.
This should be a MUST reading for ALL DeLorean owners. Copies are
available in the DeLorean Store at:
An index that includes this article and all technical articles that
have appeared in the last 19 years of DeLorean World is available at:
http://www.delorean-owners.org/dw/tech_index.html
A wealth of technical information on our DeLoreans is available in
the DeLorean World Special which includes ALL issues of DeLorean
World magazine and an updated Technical Index is available in the
DeLorean Store.

Subject: Re: Tire matching (LONG)
I had P600 in the front and in the rear for over a year, before I put on
"two" sets of Yokohomas AVS on my DeLorean. Yes, I had two sets of Yokos AVS
on my DeLorean in the last three years. The Yokos' threads don't last long.
They are great riding tires ... but they last long.
It was four years ago in the month of May 1998, when I needed new tires to
attend Ken Koncelik's first DeLorean Show held at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1998.
I wanted to replace my Dunlops that I had for little over a year and I wasn't
happy with the ride nor its handling abilities, besides the Dunlops I had,
they had very little threads left and I also need tires right away as to
attend the show.
I wanted a set of Yokohama's AVS and they were not available, not even form
the US Yoko Distributor that I called and they claim it was on the freight
boat from Japan and due to arrive in mid July of that year. The Tire Rack
and many other tire distributors did not stock any tires of the same
manufacture for the front and rear sizes. Either they have the fronts or the
rears. There were no tires at all to be found, from any tire distributors to
fit the DeLorean. So, I desperately did some research and found that the
Pirelli P600s were available for the fronts and the rears from a very large
tire center some 10 miles from me. The P600s had different speed rating, but
that is okay for my usage, beside they were cosmetically all the same. I had
ordered them by phone and had them mounted on my DeLorean immediately when
they arrived. After driving the P600s a year and a half, I had replaced them
with Yokohama's AVS that were available from PJ Grady. There was nothing
wrong with the P600s that was on my DeLorean, I was just curious as to the
ride of the Yokos which everyone was "raving" about on the DML News. I
wanted to experience this "rave" for myself.
The Yokohama's AVS have the same high speed rating for the front and rear ...
the P600s are not...only the rear are high speed rated and the fronts have a
lower speed rating. Folks, don't worry, unless you have a different motor
than the standard PVR, your DeLorean will NEVER exceed the lower rating of
the P600s. The Yokohama's AVS looks rounder-"fat," while the P600s are
"squarer" looking and its "visual" flows well with the contour of the
DeLorean ... IMO. P600s and the Yokos are both good tires. I personally
like the looks of the Pirellis P600s and the ride is slightly different then
the Yokohama's AVS. The Yokos ride is softer, slightly quieter and holds the
road "just" a bit better in the rain. The P600s is great on dry roads and
slight better in the snow, from two to three inches ... the Yokos are NOT
good in snow at all... not even in 1/2" of snow.
I have driven many long road trips, at times for over 18 hours per run on
both of these brands of tires and the conclusion is that they both have
different qualities that I can live with... The P600 makes the DeLorean run
and handle like a sport car, harder stiffer ... the Yokos yields a nice
"rich-luxurious" ride (Cadillac ride). The Yokos and PJ Grady's shocks are a
great combination ... given the DeLorean a great ride! BUT, on my next set
of tires... I will fit them with P600s again. I like them just a lit bit
better ... for that sports car "feel" and especially for the winter
(emergency) snow travel. I don't like slipping in the thinnest of snow.
Again... to each their own...... I hope this helps.

Subject: Bad Water Pump Symptom?
Going over everythin on my car, it appears that I have a leak from
one of the hoses behind my water pump. So I do need to pull the
manifold to replace the hoses, and vacuum lines since I'll be in
there anyways. But I'm not sure if my water pump is ok. It was
replaced 2 years ago. All weap seals are clean with no traces of
coolant. However, on the bottom of the shaft, behind the pully, it
is covered with grease. I know that this grease is not leaking
from the weap seal because not only is the inside clean, but the
trail of grease doesn't connect over to the weap seal. Reading
up on water pumps online, one site said that the weep seal is to
allow excess grease out, rather than to push it in twards the
water seal. So, should this be a cause for concern, or is this
normal?

Subject: Re: door problem
Hi Marvin
The way the door module works is through switched-earth. If you look
inside the door, find the sliding contact which operates with the door
locks. There are two wires coming from it. One is Brown/Slate, the other
is Brown/Pink. The Brown/Slate one is the Lock signal. Earth this wire
and the doors will lock (assuming your lock module is working okay).
Earth the Brown/Pink wire and the doors will unlock. NB earthing te
unlock wire when the locks are unlocked (and vice-versa) will do no harm.
Why am I telling you this? Well, apparently lifting your door handle is
having the effect of earthing the Brown/Slate wire. Check for any places
on this wire where the insulation has worn through, perhaps against the
door handle mechanism.
More likely though is that the lock linkages need to be loosened up
slightly. If this is the case, you are in serious door-jam territory! :-)
No the Lockzilla will not correct this problem.

Subject: Re: Tire matching
I have P600s on the back and P6000s on the front. Forget what the tread
looks like - the printing on the side is the same, and with a bit of
tyre dressing they look identical (they have this funny grooving which
reflects the light when wet - looks really cool). The 6000s replaced the
600s and in terms of composition are very close (W vs V rating). The
handling improves dramatically, and I defy anyone to spin the wheels
with the P600s on the back!

Well Michael you're right,but for example i live in Italy and here

what ihave to do,ihave to search it abroad and if the place is
far,about 1000 Kms maybe i can look at the car once,and i have to
decide to buy it after that only visit!So i have to see if it seems
good or not and then to decide!But if you love it you have to risk

Subject: RE: a/c drain questions
I don't think so.. There are a number of small screws holding the bottom half in place in the back and I doubt you would be able to get to all of the screws without removing the entire box as one assembly (this requires a lot of work). See the manual 7.1.0, and you will see how it goes together. The manual does not show all of the screws, but if you want to try and do it I can take some photos of my box removed from the car which should help you locate them in your car by touch (because you will never see them!).
Let me know, I can take some pictures this weekend.

Jason,
if you want a simple solution, pick up a 'last resort plug'. it's what we
use at Jiffy Lube when we encounter just this situation. i know a lady with
a 86 honda accord with over 250K miles, and the last 50K or so have been with
a last resort plug. all it is, is a special plug with a rubber gasket around
the back of it and there's a screw that goes thru the center of it. on the
other end of the screw is one of those things that you can push thru a hole
and then it will fold out, allowing you to tighten the screw w/plug against
these spring loaded arms, and you can tighten the plug pretty tight because
it's quite heavy duty. this is probably the best short term solution. at
least then you can drive it. i agree with everyone else - eventually (maybe
this winter) you need to retap it.
i bet if you have a jiffy lube in your area, you could go over there and ask
if they will sell a 'last resort plug' to you outright. might cost you $4 or
so. if they don't know what you are talking about, describe what i told you,
and then they will know. if there aren't any jiffy lubes or anything like
that where you live, i'm changing my oil next week and when i have the plug
out i'll grab a last resort and make sure it works in my pan, then i could
send it to you.
Good Luck!

Hi,
Try using a thread insert, I believe they are called Heli-Coils,
they are often used to replace threads in engine heads for spark

Subject: What I would look for If I bought another "D"
LOOK IN THE BRAKE RESERVOIR FOR CLARITY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Take a flash light. If they have not maintained it, you might not get home. It happened to me...
Look for red dots on the ball joints, sway bar brackets and inside the engine compartment centered on the firewall. These are some of the recalls.
Look at the fuse box for signs of melting or a crappy job replacing a melted fuse box.
Look for a quality jumper on the right most relay, or a functional Fan Fail Relay. Beefy, soldered wires might indicate that it wasn't home-made.
Look for ALL the dash lights to light when you first switch on.
Switch on the AC (car on but not started) and Stick your head under the car to find two fans spinning freely. Have the owner switch off and look for the fans to stop at roughly the same time in several seconds.
Feel the front brake rotors for a groove on the outside that might indicate that the miles are not right.
Look at the trailing arm bolts for bending.
Rock the steering wheel up and down. If it moves more than 1/2" and movement is heard or seen at the firewall, Order a bushing from Darryl T. and plan for a day spent upside down.
Bring a 10MM socket and open the air filter box. Look for a clean filter to indicate that the owner took care of it. I know it's got less than 500 miles on the clock. You may have the original filter, and it shouldn't be plugged with stuff. Good Lord mine was clogged when I bought, but my car was NOT maintained.
You probably have flat-spotted tires from sitting, unless the car was elevated and stored properly.
Look for good boots on the steeringrack. These not only keep out dust, but keep IN about 3 oz. of gear oil.
I would be very concerned about the fuel system, and wouldn't drive it home at the risk of FUBAR'ing your fuel distributor. I'd trailer it home and get into the tank with a boot, cover, tube and hoses in hand.
Operate the windows a dozen times each. The price for new window regualtors shocked me.
Operate EVERYTHING.
Most of this is 'do it before you drive it' type stuff, and ALL of it was crapped out in my car to one degree or another. I got very lucky driving to Charleston, SC from Greensboro, NC in my car and had only one severe problem that was resolved with flails from a tire iron. (A story for another time) Even the owner's wife said, "You're gonna drive it home ! ?" That wasn't very comforting.
You may want to come armed with DMC Houston's downloadable parts list. As much as I hate it, there is the $20K rule with these cars. The cost to buy it plus the cost to fix it to par with others is usually about $20K. I (bragging) was able to beat down $5k on my price, and swiftly spent a tidy chunk of that savings with Rob Grady, et.al.
Good luck, and welcome to our certain public love/hate support group...

Subject: Re: more auto trans questions!
The plug you refer to is to connect the auto trans to the rest of the
car's internal witing for the neutral start switch, back-up lights,
power, and kick-down switch. The large round part with several pins is
used for diagnostic purposes.
To remove connectors release any locking tabs and pull out.
If the shift computer failed completly the car would not shift out of
first gear. The shifting of the trans is controlled by two electric
shift solenoids that are powered by the shift computer and is also
contolled by the gear selector.
If the trans is running good the best advice is to leave it alone. It
is a good idea to check the condition and level of the trans fluid and
final drive. You could also check the line pressure and other external
adjustments. Set them as per the Workshop Manual.

Also, anyone have a replacement source for all those sheets of foam on the flappers in the heater box?

Yea, Small!!
You can fit the large flat style suitcase in the front luggage compartment, and a few "Gym" style bags in the shelf behind the seats.
Oh, and bring a can or two of "Fix a flat" because if you get a flat tire in the back, you will have to choose to either take the wheel or wife on the rest of the trip home!

expensive... but you can one-way rent a U-hell... I mean haul... 14' truck,
and their auto transport. In the end, even the untested D may be amore
reliable than the truck! (from past experience!)
