Many people think that the DeLorean is not a reliable
automobile. I've had mine for over eight ! years now, and the problems I've had have been about what one would expect from a
20+ year old car with 80 kmiles on it!
My history is below!
I've done some of the minor service myself. If you are planning to do
your own work, or have a local DeLorean non-expert do it, get a copy of the Workshop
Manual and Parts Catalogue from one of the DeLorean vendors!
The Parts Catalogue is available online at http://www.dmcnews.com/files.html.
An interactive Parts Catalogue/Pricelist is available on the DeLorean One
website or on the DeLorean
Motor Company website.
