Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The best way, and I can assure you of this, to get into the trunk when the cable is broken is: * Put the car on a lift. * Remove the left front wheel. This is to permit the best angle for what follows. * Push out the rubber plug that is above the brake master cylinder and hope that there is nothing in the trunk that will interfere. * Using a powerful flashlight atempt to view the trunk latch mechanisim. It can be done if there is nothing in the trunk blocking the view. * Locate the arm that the release cable attaches to. * Using a suitable tool, grab onto the bottom of the release arm and pull it toward the left side of the car. Have someone else gently push downward on the trunk lid while you are doing this in order to release as much tension from the lack mechanisim as possible. A suitable tool may be something like a VERY stiff wire bent into a hook on the end, or possibly a wooden broom handle with a bold screwed into the end. This happened to me a few weeks ago while I was working with a fellow named Chester and we learned this solution from this message group. I might suggest that while repairimg the cable / latch mechanisim that you drill an additional hole in the latch arm ( mentioned above ) and install a suitable ( strong ) cable into it. Make the cable long enough to be run under the carpet and right next to the master cylinder access plug. Install something on the end of the cable to use as a handle ( a 3/8 " bolt with nuts and washers to clamp the free end of the cable would work well ) and secure it inside the trunk for easy access through the master cylinder plug hole in case this situation ever arises again.

A turbocharged version was planned for the 1984 model. The turbo version was extremely high tech (by 1984 standards) and probably would have produced in excess of 200 HP. Only prototypes were made of this; none were sold through normal channels. There are a lot of turbo DeLoreans out there; except the prototypes, they are all done with aftermarket kits. The most popular current kit is the "Island" kit which is a low pressure twin-turbo system developing about 170-180HP on 5-7 pounds of boost. > that it is possible for the mechanisms in the locking and unlocking > switches to malfunction and lock you in your car.

Thank you to all who responded to my problem with being locked out of my trunk! Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried the easy ones first, but DMC JOE had it nailed. Once on a lift the drivers tire didn't even have to be removed, above the brake cylinder by pushing the rubber plug up access to the trunk was made and with a long piece of wire I was able to see the lock mechanism . Grabbed it and what la! The trunk was opened. HEARS A GREAT TIP FOR ALL : TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM ,RUN A WIRE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LOCK MECHANISM TO THE RUBBER PLUG AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK. THIS WAY SHOULD YOUR TRUNK CABLE EVER COME LOSE , ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POP THE PLUG , AND GRAB THE WIRE TO RELEASE THE TRUNK. IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE EXCESSIVE BUT IT BEATS RUNNING OUT OF GAS GETTING THE DELOREAN TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION THEN SPENDING AN HOUR TRYING TO FISH FOR THE TRUNK RELEASE!.!.!. ------------------------------ message 2241 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2241 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "DMC Joe" Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 00:34:30 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Help!

The second re-call took place shortly after the first for the same problem, therefore several cars slipped through the cracks and did not receive the new components.

When I first got my car I drive it on a two tank trip that was 99% highway, monitoring my fuel consumption very carefully. Driving conservatively, obeying the 65 mph speed limit, making fewest possible stops, carrying minimum baggage and no luggage rack, I was able to get about 29 mpg! A few years ago, when a bunch of us drove our DeLoreans from Ohio to the DOA Expo in Nashville, other owners reported similar results. A well tuned, conservatively driven, lightly loaded DeLorean can probably achieve 30 mpg on the highway. Of course these are DeLorean miles, as measured by DeLorean odometers. - Mike Substelny ------------------------------ message 2245 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2245 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 06:22:46 -0700 From: t.mickel@worldnet.att.net Subject: [DML] Jack Stand Points Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Where exactly should I place jack stands under my D?

They have several products that deal with this problem and also have products that get rid of the odor after the fact. I would suggest the tub product to keep the mildew from forming in the first place, and the disk product to get rid of the odor if it's already happened. There is also a cleaning product, spray-can I think. Check out their various products at http://www.damprid.com/ If you can't find these products in the store you can order online from their web site.

Since I bought mine from a classic car dealer, they had their on-staff appraiser do it. He knew what the cars were worth, but was willing to work with me on the dollar amount on the appraisal form as long as it wasn't too far out of line. He ended up writing it for $22,500 since it only had 3500 miles on it and was in VERY good condition. This was more than I paid for it, but not an out of line amount for an appraisal.

Please be advised that insurance companies are regulated by individual states and each state sets their own rules and regulations. There are value guides for cars such as the DeLorean but they are only "guides" and not necessarily guides for actual values. These guides are generally used for personal property taxes (where applicable) and loan values by lending institutions. Here in Virginia, the owner of a "vintage" automobile is allowed to establish and "declare" the value. The insurance premium is then adjusted according to the "declared" value. Of course the insurance company reserves the right to have the car appraised and the declared value authenticated. For example, in Virginia, a $25K DeLorean (mine) would have the same insurance rate as any other car with a value of $25K (assuming everything else remains the same). The rate is adjusted for things like frequency of being driven. For example, my DeLorean is NEVER driven to work or business (or even shopping for that matter). At 9,850 total miles, it has been driven an average of about 500 miles a year. On the other hand my $25K Chrysler Concorde has been driven considerably more and consequentially has a much higher premium. If by chance I were to (shudder) "total" my DeLorean, the damage would be considerably more than $25K but the insurance company would only have to cough up $25K (less salvage value). BTW, a "totaled" Delorean could possibly have a salvage value of more than its insured value (because it wouldn't take a great deal of damage to exceed its value as a whole car and good used Delorean parts are quite valuable). Does this help?

Excuse me Ken, but where does one find the DeLorean Owners Directory? A quick visit to the DMC News site and a look at the DeLorean Production Chronology list reveals that there is only ONE couple listed there, Ron and Margaret Jackson. This is hardly a "large number" and does NOT include Patty and Mike Substenly! I assume that the DPC list includes all those that submitted their names to the DOD and that those that didn't want their names published were listed as "Name Withheld" (only two of those that I saw). The Substenly listing on the DPC is simply "Mike Substenly". I submitted a listing several months ago in the name of "Ann & Ed Thompson" but it has yet to be posted. I understand that you are very busy and it will take a while for you to catch up so I'm not complaining that my listing has not yet appeared. When and if it does, it seems that we are the ONLY couple to post with the woman's name first. Since day one our posting name in the DML has been "Ann & Ed Thompson". We are joint owners of our DeLorean and are joint enjoyers. If anything, Ann gets more pleasure from our DeLorean than I do. (BTW, she is also the principal driver of one of our Corvettes. Her very first car was a brand new 1964 Corvette!)
