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 knowthe
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
understatement of 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 todemist
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)Steeringneeds
to be centered, as at present you have two and a half locks to the left, and
one 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, and I'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 lastbut
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 somewherevery
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 you go.
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 for
all 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 offeredme
over the past 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 thecoming
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 - but he
did help dismantle the stand :-) I'm really looking forward to
PSO
living an hour down the M4 - Stephen and I have already made
tentative plans for some days out in our D's!
I just gave mine a wash. It got a bit grubby on the way down
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 mytime
and dismantle all the bits that need attention. Fascias, seats,
dashboard, binnacle.......
Have a good New Year!
Martin
