What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Renee_1632]

Drove it twice last night with no problems.

Almost drove it to work this morning but decided against it since it was so hot outside. Turned out to be a good move -- somewhere on West Esplanade Avenue in Metairie there's a dead duck courtesy of my PT Cruiser and a Subaru Outback. The duck didn't leave a mark on the PT, but with my luck it would have wiped out the entire front end of the DeLorean.

One could argue that you have a soft-spot for unreliable vehicles

Diesel version with Mercedes engine, 100% reliable so far.
I am after a 300C within months, again diesel Mercedes.

Yup, and my PT is turbocharged -- wrong vehicle, I know. :P

Because the last page has been....

Sorry guys, it's just what I love to do now when threads start digressing. Nothing personal =P.

On another note, I refilled my A/C system with my ES-12 refrigerant and got the car down to nearly 39 degrees in the cockpit.

One of the pins on my black bulkhead connector kept pushing in when trying to put the bulkhead connector female end back on the male pins. Took the backwall off, moved that rats nest of wiring all around, found the wire that was connected to the pin that kept moving back, pushed on it with a flat head screwdriver, and Jessica installed the black bulkhead connector into place. With the flathead screwdriver in place, the pin could not move back, and now all the pins make proper contact.

Symptoms of the above anomaly: no brake lights, but pushing my brake pedal turned on BOTH my green turn signal indicator lights as well as made my green turn signal indicator lights behave as hazard lights when trying to signal a right or a left turn. Also, the 6.1A it takes to power all the brake lights was possibly being rerouted through fuse #4, which conveniently happens to be the fuse for - you guessed it - hazard lights and turn signal indicator circuit. So 6.1A was traveling through fuse #4, which nearly melted the fuse box connection for that fuse.

Installed John Hervey's aftermarket stainless steel brake lines. Man, he doesn't just send new lines; he sends new lines with new nuts and connecting hardware. For $118, what an upgrade from 30 year old rubber brake lines. GREAT product - I'll try to review this later in the "Product Reviews" section.

Fixed the driver's seat back trimming and passenger side as well. Re-aligned the wiper positions. Siliconed the front bushes. Fixed the passenger door hinge (was about to pop out!). And slammed my finger with the hood against the wiper arm..... OUCH!

What have I done to my DeLorean today? I caught my brakes on fire.

Rsiking going , I'm curious - how did THAT happen?

A sticking piston on the rear wore the pad down to the metal. No damage, I just need a brake overhaul. Of course I apparently needed one before they caught fire....
