Subject: [doc] Proud owner of PSO,back
online...
Dear All,
as many of you will have heard, I'm the
proud owner of Daves third Delorean, PSO 69W. For those that don't know the
car that well, it is a November 81' car, manual, grey interior, and is a right
hander. To say that I am pleased with the car would be the understatementof
the century, I am over the bloody moon:)
Being one of Daves cars, it was in
beautiful condition outside, and inside, and has relatively few glitches that
can't be fixed with little hassle. My list of present problems to fix
includes....
1)Heating/Defrosting/Airconditioning system (When turned on to demist
the car, the blower blows like crazy, but no air comes out anywhere, not from
any of the vents...doesn't matter what setting you put the system on, no air
ever comes out the vents, but the fan is going like crazy..this is mystifying
me right now...any ideas?)
2)Steering needs to
be centered, as at present you have two and a half locks to the left, andone
to the right!! Is this common with right hander conversions?
3)Handbrake cable
needs replacing, as at present, the handbrake does not work at all.
4)Brakes need to
be cleaned down, and tightened up, as they are very fluffy at present.
5)Back right brake
light not working.
6)Headlights too weak on low beam, I currently drive with full beam on
at night, at all times, even on full beam I don't get too many pissed off
drivers. How much would Xenon lights cost for the Delorean, are any
available?
7)Left side door
needs to be tightened by a notch or two, as it droops below the right side by
about 40cm.
8)Dave disconected the interior lights, and the door lights, andI'm
not sure which cables I should be reconnecting, so have left it so far, until
I chatted to Dave, but if anyone else knows which cables need to be connected
to where, would be appreciated. I wondered if this disconnected cable could be
the reason for the non existantant heater functionality.
9)And last but not
least, where is the bonnet release? I have been using the emergency bonnet
release cable up until this point. I'm sure that it is somewhere very obvious,
but please could someone let me know.
10) Once this is
all finished, and I've given the car a final polish down, and dressing, it
will be, for want of a better word, Perfect:)
So there yougo.
PSO 69W. A beautiful car, that was worth every penny I paid. I'd just like to
thank a number of people for getting me to this stage. Martin, cheers forall
the help and advice, and there was a huge amount too. Thanks to Dave for being
so patient while I was sorting out funds and insurance for PSO, and cheers to
everybody else on DOC-uk for the advice and help they offered me over thepast
three months. Finally, Chris, the cheque and order form for the newsletter was
sent before Christmas, and I'm a little worried it hasn't got to you by now.
I'll cancel that cheque and resend a new one to you this week, saves waiting
any longer.
As for the coming
year, I'm looking forward to some Delorean trips around the South of England,
and hopefully many opportunities to show off my fantastic car. Can you believe
I was going to buy a BMW 325 Coupe before, how boring that would have been in
comparison, and how much would I have lost in depreciation?? Doesn't bare
thinking about.
If anyone has any
ideas about my list of 10) problems to fix, please email me with any
information you have. Once again huge thankyous to everyone, and I look
forward to meeting up with our cars soon,
regards,
Stephen
Strelczak
Delorean PSO
69W.

I think Stephen was slack not joining at the show - buthe did
help dismantle the stand :-) I'm really looking forward to PSO
living an hour down the M4 - Stephen and I have alreadymade
tentative plans for some days out in our D's!
I just gave mine a wash. It got a bit grubby on the waydown
from Reading for Christmas. I'm mothballing it for a while a)
until the roads improve and b) before i can check the trailing
arm bolts. The pass side one has me a bit worried!
I've scored big-time at work - without going into it at
length, I can keep the DeLorean in our "warehouse" which is heated
and
lit. If I can get weekend access to it, I can take my time and
dismantle all the bits that need attention. Fascias, seats,
dashboard, binnacle.......
Have a good New Year!
Martin
