Kirk, Here's my theory on that: My car, VIN 1063, was at some 400 miles when first sold. Considering my car was on the first shipment over here (left Belfast...
I had a similar problem with my own D. But unfortunately for me, it was the lock solenoids that gave out. I spent a very cold winter day driving it 25 miles or...
... Nice story :) My guess would be that the dealership probably used this car as a "company car", probably belonging to the dealership boss. Nice way to boost...

Same exact thing. The bellcrank isn't returning to it's original position, because of the door latch cable. If you've got the upper trim panel off, take a look...
Patrick, Since I've been searching & saving for my car ('97) DMCH's prices seem to be updated every 6 months averaging just under a $2,000 increase each year,...

Andy, This will not be a lot of help to you and probably others will come up with the answer. I built up the jig and bought all of the tools needed ...
A way around the problem of not having the jig is to remove the rear sunshade. It will take you a bit longer to do than having the jig but if you do not do...
I'm sorry, but I just don't see why you would want to spend that kind of money, or even bother building a jig for the T-bar adjustment. I have pictures and a...
If you don't mind removing the louvers, this job can be done with only a breaker bar, allen socket and a 4' steel pipe for leverage. Still requires 2 people,...
A suggestion. If you know anyone that is into lapidary it would be an easy job. Get a couple of mirrors at a junkyard and have them cut to size. Chris 6301 ......

My car has a build date of October 81 and shows arrival in Long Beach CA and trucked to Bothel, WA where it was sold almost exactly a year later, Oct 21, 1982....
Don't mind removing the louvers?????? I'd rather pull my own teeth than re-align the louvers again. The louvers DO NOT need to be removed to adjust torsion...
Hi all, Been a long time since I posted here but here goes. I am still in the process of restoring my DMC and everything is going smoothly except the front...
The April 4th edition of Autoweek magazine has a one page article about the career of John DeLorean written but J Patrick Wright, DeLorean's co-author of "On A...
I spent serveral long hours in my garage and traced and identified all the wires going to the connectors under the coil cover. I uploaded a new file with the...
Steve,It would help to have more information such as, can you see the piston extend out or the pad move in when you press on the brake peddle. What is the...
I am going to guess that you are not properly bleeding the master cylinder before trying to bleed the brake system. Get 2 short tubes that screw into the...
Well I don't know if any one's coming to the get together here in Dearborn michigan 04/02/05 I got 3 emails asking about changing to sunday or canceling to an...
Re-installing the louvers is much like re-installing the glove box lid, and I've found both are very manageable if you go about it methodically and set them in...
That is FANTASTIC!!! Excellent work on this, Dave. It will really come handy when I get around to wiring in my new engine. Thank you so much for doing it...
Torsion Bars should not be adjusted, these are factory set & the only thing that you can do is replace the strut if it's sagging, in the cold the strut will...

Also in Autoweek, March 28 issue, bottom of page 2, short obituary for JZD. Though there is no byline, I appreciate that they had the journalistic integrity to...
You are sure all the air is out of the rear brakes? You replaced the flex brake lines? Air and fluid may not give the same results in an internally damaged...
I love hearing about you guys that actually have your D's as daily drivers. I'm not there yet, mostly because of a few things left on the to-do list and the...
Lawrence, No offense intended, but where did you get the idea that "Torsion Bars should not be adjusted"? Never? Even after twenty-something years? The...
My second fiddle is a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. The third fiddle is a 1988 Jaguar XJSC. The wife has a minivan, but will be upgrading to an H2 here...
I think you might have misread that. 1063 was built in April. Kirk's 2378 was built in July and was purchased in October. -Just clearing up any confusion. ...
