Re: [doc] Delorean Service items

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

James he will have no problem matching up parts when he gets the car - 
they're all still available off-the shelf just about everywhere (even 
Halfords)

If you really want to, the Diesel Centre could give you references for 
all the service items. 01580 890666

Info on bleeding the coolant system other than what? The water pump has 
a bleed screw.... Are you flushing the system? Read this

http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/cooling.htm

You should check the Trailing Arm Bolts. Replace them if bent and torque 
to 55ft-lbs with the weight of the car on the wheels (need 4-poster for 
this). CAREFUL if you have to remove them, there are alignment shims 
which must be replaced exactly as they come out. Lubricate the angle 
drive, check handbrake adjustment and twiddle if necessary. Anyone else?
