Just had bad news from home. Our maintenance guy went to move the Delorean back into the garage, only to suddenly see smoke billowing form the back, accompanied by a distinct burning rubber smell. I wont seeit till 1:30 or so, what on earth could that have been? I'm a bit worried,I know it's not coolant, could it be a belt slipping? I'll update later. Iknow it has nothing to do with overheating, as the car was only running for 2 mins. I can't wait to get her to Darren for a manifold fix, and generalservice. She seems to be sulking after the other Deloreans left her :(
Stephen.

You could ask Darren for all the bits for the ren vac system, plus an R30 dizzy, and source a metering head from a Volvo 760. This system is a lot simpler and will bring your engine up to 160-170hp. This is by virtue of removing the lambda system *properly*. If getting stuff from Darren, might be an idea to ask him to get you a set of Renault HT leads apparently they're even better than the Bosch ones.
You also need a new temp sensor, and get all the water pump hoses to change while we're "down there".
I have not done an intake manifold job yet - perhaps James could come down and advise?
John Hervey sells an O-ring kit which takes the guessworkout of the job.
