RE: [doc] Quick job

["Chris Parnham" <cp@xxxx>]

Paul,

I'm glad Dave sorted you out pretty quick, he does do if he's got the bits
to hand, and if works not too pressing! I know he sometimes forgets things
when he's very busy, I have always ended up with what I needed eventually.
Both Dave and I spend a fortune on parts when they "pop up". Dave recently
spent over 7K just on body panels, which will take YEARS to get his money
back, earlier, I did the same with seat covers, after 2 years I have
recovered about 15 % of my outlay. I'm not too fussed because I know in the
fullness of time, these parts will be highly prized, when our cars are worth
25K upwards.....

Another reason that sometimes annoys both me and Dave is when one is "taken
advantage off" , some one contacts you, "all in a rush", I MUST HAVE THIS
BIT by tomorrow morning, we oblige, and then it takes weeks, sometimes
months to get the money! Sometimes the money never does come!! Not good. We
rely on trust and helpfulness in a small club, occasionally its gets
forgotten or abused.
Anyway, that's my Sunday sermon over. Who's DeLorean's going for a drive
today?

Chris P

Subject: [doc] Quick job


Well after putting up with a dodgy gear shift mechanism for the last year I
finally decided to do something about it.

The problem was the in no way shape or form would my gearstick lift to go
into reverse, and the pin was missing to stop you accidentally going into
reverse when shifting 1st to 2nd.

I priced up a new mechanism with the US vendors $354. ouch....

On the phone to Dave Howarth the other night and my problem came up in
conversation. To which Dave replies I got one of those in the garage. Good
price.. So I asked him to send it.

9:30 this morning it arrived, 9:45 I decided to tackle the job. 10:30 job
done.

I can now happily shift from 1st to 2nd without fear destroying my gearbox
catching reverse at 25mph.

Once again a part easily sourced in GB

Cheers
Paul
