I've been lurking on the list for a while, since I bought VIN# 17094 a bit under a month ago. I had checked out a couple of D's within a reasonable driving distance, and found this one to be the best one I could both see before buying, and actually afford. The prior owner had quite a bit of work done on the car, and I figured I'd have a pretty light load of repairs to work out. Well, maybe that was a bit optimistic; my list of things to do is up to 32 mostly-simple items (I'm sure there are bigger things that need attention that I just haven't found yet, not having a really healthy D or experience to tell). Being mostly a computer geek and not that hot at car repair, it looks like I'll be spending some time at the mechanic's... once I find one with some experience on DeLoreans. Anyway, I have a few starter questions that hopefully someone can help me with... - I'd appreciate any recommendations for a good mechanic near Philadelphia. - Where's the best place to snag replacement relays and circuit breakers? The relays in my D look like they could be original, but I really think the relay update kits I see on delorean.com or specialtauto are overpriced. I found non-bosch replacements for the most numerous part, but $17 at Pep Boys seemd a bit high too. - I found a severly burned wire (over 1" of blackened insulation, wire burned through) near the relays; hopefully one of you can save me a bunch of disassembly tracking down where this goes... Check out http://www.sixgeeks.org/~scott/DeLorean/fuse_area_1.jpg -- the white wire coming from the door lock breaker and going over the door lock module is the one that fried. It also cooked the wire and connector on top of the fan speed breaker, and melted some of the fuse box cover. Man it would be nice if there was a little more room to work in there. Well, I've rambled on enough. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer. --Scott
