    All sensors appear to be working but the water temp.
    Should I go and replace it?
    Congrats on that milestone.

    Yes, replace/repair if you haven't got a working temp gauge on the instrument panel. Otherwise your first hint of a cooling system concern while under way might be steam from the engine bay, seen in your rear view mirrors. Would be sad to warp anything on that nice rebuild.

    Today I bled my clutch. It had only been 2 years and 4,000 miles, but you can definitely tell a difference between the first bottle of fluid bled and the last!

    yes I got it from a local guy who previously did a couple of Delorean steering wheels along with other parts (including a full leather interiors Delorean)

    I really like the way he recover steering wheels because they don't look "puffy" as other vendors ones... this is because he uses a special tool to "shave" the old leather and he measures with a gauge the right thickness to shave..

    plus it's made of classy italian leather

    +1 I'd love to upgrade/refurbish my wheel but the vendors seem to charge a lot for it. Maybe it's reasonable given the labor involved but I'd love to explore other options before making that call
