I Left the incandescent bulb in for the Battery light, until I can determine that the power resistor from Jamstrait will make that LED work. Tonight was the first time I drove my car at night. And I love the red dash illumination. It really makes the dash gauges look updated. I thought I was in the Fast and the Furious for a moment. Before I installed the red LED's I installed the white ones for the illumination. And they look allot better than the incandescents. They stock bulbs are more of a dull yellow compared to the clear white illumination from the White LED's I added more pics of the dash in the photo area in yahoo groups I'm waiting for my LED dome lights to arrive, when they do I will keep you posted if they work or not. http://www.lightingresearch.com/leds/led_dome_lights.htm Regards, Mike Vin#1113 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 20:04:13 -0000 From: "steve" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: A few probs: shifting stiff, wont go(sometimes) dot 4 leak? , gas, temp sensors MY DELOREAN's HISTORY ------------------------------ Bought April 2003 Previous Owner only drove it 600 miles in his 15 years of owning it. He took good care of it. It only had 16k miles when i got it. Current Problems Known----------- -5th gear is not easy to shift into. you have to slam it in after 55+ speeds it seems. -Sometimes I cannot get it into 1st gear or reverse. I can feel it rubbing against the spinning gear inside. Warren at DMC Texas said the hydraulic fluid is leaking and there's a 154$ peice to fix that. First of all, how full it the resuvior suppost to be? I got some more dot 4 - the resuvior was already almost full, i only put in maybe a table-spoon. it still does it sometimes, i filled it to right up before the bottle neck. remeber it only has 16k miles. -Engine Temp does not register (sensor? or thermometer itself) Where is the temp sensor? can i clean it? -Gas tank meter only shows up to half tank at all times. ??? -Wobbly steering at 55+ speeds (probly just alignment?)

There was around 2 gallons of fluid in the sump. It was the consistency of water (or thinner) and just -rushed- out of the pan. It smelled like fuel and had a greenish tint like anti freeze. I'm glad I didn't run the engine long when all this happened. This stuff had almost no viscosity, or lubricating properties. Does this jive with anyone's symptoms of blown headgaskets?
