Re: [DMCForum] some questions!

Hey John

Can't help you with the rest of those (but I do have some of the same
questions you do!), but I have an Oct 81 car with a one key system and
hood lines.

Also, my engine hatch also gets stuck in place from time to time. A good
tug after pulling the release usually does the trick. I'm guessing it's an
alignment problem (I have noticed a few areas on the car where parts have
a tendancy to shift...).

  Subject: [DMCForum] some questions!


  Hey lads,
  I've a few questions for ye...

  1. How do you get the trunk to actually pop open when the lever is 
  pulled? Mine doesn't move so I have to lift it while pulling the 
  lever. Do I just replace the spring in the mechanism??

  2. Any point in getting the original door lock solenoid rewound? Or 
  should I get an upgraded new one from PJ Grady? My passenger side 
  one is very weak.

  3. how do you actually remove the ac mode switch?! I have the center 
  console off, and the ac illumination panel, what comes next??

  4. This one isn't very DMC related, but while messing around getting 
  my center console off I must have hit something, as now I suddenly 
  get engine noise interference on the radio. Any suggestions on what 
  I might have done?!

  5. I've a leaky exhaust, so the car sounds a bit like a VW bus at 
  the moment. Martin, I saw your page on re-doing all the gaskets - 
  where did you get the parts? Can I go to my local volvo guy and get 
  the correct gaskets and bolts? What are the part numbers?

  6. Just noticed I've got an original 80 amp alternator on my car. 
  Its a September 1981. How has it lasted this long? I thought they 
  were all junk! The car had 12,000 original miles a year ago, and now 
  has 24,000. I've never had any problems with the alternator... 
  Should I bother changing it or wait until it finally gives up?

  7. I'm planning on buying another DMC when I get back to the USA 
  full time, to do a complete restoration/customisation. I'll be 
  looking for a car with a really bad frame (so I can buy an SS frame 
  for it), also with bad drivetrain, so that also can be replaced with 
  probably a Porsche transmission and a better engine. Anyone know of 
  such a car at the moment?

  8. I have the early locks on my car, but don't like the look of 
  them. But, I do like the hoodlines that come with the 81's. My last 
  question is were any cars made with both hoodlines and the later one-
  key system?

  Thanks,
  John Dore, Ireland. #3810.

  PS Will post some pics soon of our baby girl with the DeLorean as 
  requested!
