Did some searching over my lunch break and found a site with some useful details.



Going to try and make some readings using that as a starting point tonight :)

Facing upwards, as the OEM one was also. Though as I say, even if I manually jump the fans the temperature continues to rise.



I'm going to spend some time Saturday doing a very similar test!...

Otterstat is currently the new UK screw-in type and new coolant pipe, but same results with my OEM version that was working before (and was attached with a clip and cable-tie). But since you sell the...

About a year ago to the day my water pump started to fail. Over winter I went into the VoD and replaced it along with some smaller jobs. Since March I've been struggling to get the cooling system to...

The grease nipple should be on the opposite side to that which the joint faces. So bottom joint faces upward with nipple is on the underside. Top join faces downward, nipple is on the top side.

Decided to pull the pump this morning, and a good idea it was too. Source of the leak identified; On the upper edge of the TTS port there is a chip in the aluminium casting that makes part of the...

100% sure. As soon as I pressurised the system the bottom edge of the copper washer starts to gleam in a wet green colour.

No visible signs of leakage from the thermostat housing or from the hose...

No I didn't, but as I said it's a new switch, adaptor and pump with the old ones sitting on a shelf in my parts cabinet. Threads in the new pump haven't looked warped as I've inspected each time I...

No, on the first two attempts I put them in with just the copper washers for sealing (new washers each time, to be clear). I tried some loctite on the third and fourth attempts after advice from Ed....

I appreciate you're trying to help, but I started out with DMC.Eu vendor hardware by the book. Still leaked.

Leak occurs between the adapter copper washer and the water pump face. New pump, new...

Trying to finish my VoD job and having a miserable time fighting some coolant leaks. Most of them were just needing some tightening up, but I have a persistent leak at the thermotime switch where all...

Rear cross-member refitted after powder-coating, heater hoses re-fitted, new spark plugs gapped and fitted, new distributor cap and rotor arm fitted.

Thanks David.

The plot thickens somewhat as when I took the drive axle off there was no sign of a leak from the splined shaft. I took the gearbox fill plug off to check how much may have leaked...

I just wanted to come back to this thread and state that as of this morning I have found gearbox oil contaminating the drive shaft boots again, which without removing the flange leads me to believe...

I respectfully disagree, as when I switched to silicone hoses a few years ago now I had to get reducing sections to connect this pipe to the others as it was of a larger diameter and I have a manual...

Just for clarity sake; Ed's kit does _not_ have bigger calipers. The calipers have a spacer to provide room to fit the vented disc, but otherwise are the same (so same pad/disc surface area).

I...

I haven't actually had the opportunity to change my pump yet due to life getting in the way, but from the way you describe the noises that fits almost exactly with what mine sounded like last I was...

How did you inspect the pump? Because the noise you are describing sounds exactly like the noise I started hearing back in June, and after taking the belts off I was treated to this;

...

I'm running reinforced OEM LCAs' and the Amsteer balljoints so really just an observer on this thread, but..

I think the only possible exception here is that since we are talking about aftermarket...

Sounds like a bit of a dick move on your part to be honest. He probably knew very little about cars and vaguely aware of leaded gas and thought you might be needing an additive or something. That's...

I had to replace my parking brake cables about a year into ownership as they were OEM and ready to die. I routed the passenger side cable over the top of the transmission instead and have had no...

I don't have parts but I do have sympathy. I had two wheel studs snap last year thanks to a nasty pot-hole and the wheel nuts backing off. Fortunately for me it was at low speed so collateral damage...

That looks fantastic, thanks for sharing :) I'll do just this once I have my current batch of DeLorean jobs fixed up!

Slightly off-topic question, but what's the best way to clean-up/repair these panels? The previous owner cut the vinyl to replace the rear speakers and it means I have inherited unsightly vinyl edges...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it but if the accumulator hoses are deteriorating you can get a fuel smell in the cabin right through the centre console. Depending how bad the leak is it's not...
