Dave uploaded my description a few days ago. I tried to write in in english, I hope it hasn't become too Genglish ?!? (German-English) If there are still any questions - drop me a line. Elvis & 6548 @ Dave - did you already upload the smaller version ? http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/doorlocks.htm ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2002 17:48:23 EDT From: Soma576@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: Window Switches Willy, I used to have this problem too with the window switches. i bet your wires are really stiff under there, aren't they? use it to your advantage. unhook your switches from the white harnesses, take the console apart and get as much slack as possible under there. fish the harnesses to where they need to be and try to angle them so that they are in the best position for when the switch is mounted. then bend the wires at a 90 deg angle so that they make an abrupt turn and don't hit the underbody and push the switch up. take the rocker off of the switch and insert it into the console, then plug in the harnesses. reassemble the console, then make sure they switches are totally flat in their slots. once you are satisfied, put the rockers back on and you should be good to go!! if you try to push the switches back down with the rockers on you probably will not get good results since you can't tell if the rocker or the switch has bottomed out.

Dear DML, I Have just recently traveled quite a distance to see a DeLorean in person for the first time, and I absolutly think its the coolest car in the world. Its even better in person than I could have imagined. And you are right to say its just like a glove, it fits me so well! But heres the kicker. I may have one in my back yard I had no idea existed! Basicly the run down is an old man died 10 years ago and his son is running from the IRS for not paying taxes. We chatted with the wife who is about 75-80 years old and she said her husband had one, but wouldnt really talk about the car or her son since hes in hidding. We gave her our number so her son could get in contact with us. Hopefully well talk soon to him and get a chance to see his fathers DeLorean, only 16 miles away! I have no clue if it is for sale, but from the sounds of things it hasnt run for at least 10 years, and sounds like one of those low mileage cars, like under 10-20,000 miles. Now I want to be fairly pepared to see it, and if its for sale for a great price I'll buy it, provided no frame rust which since its been indoors for the past 10 years, it shouldnt have. However, I would like a checklist procedure to drain and clean the fuel system before I start it up, if I get a chance to do it. Does anybody have a set of instructions that I can go by? If and when I get a chance to see it I will record the vitals, Black/Grey, Vin #, Trans Type and Milege and post it to the DeLorean Record. But man, I cant get over there may be one only 16 miles away, and mabye (I'm praying) even only 16 feet away in a few months!

I've seen a fair amount of talk about performance upgrades recently, and was wondering what kind of parts everyone is really interested in for the PRV. I've got a few things up my sleeve yet, but input from everyone is the best way to start new products. Please let me know what everyone wants!! I've got a full exhaust system that's almost ready for production that will give around a 20% increase in power over the stock system, and it's smog/street legal! Thanks!
