RE: [DML] Re: Vendors workshop manuals



The original Delorean workshop manual P/N 113096 are all line drawing type
pictures and have none of the pictures your talking about. That's what I
sell. But, I do have some books with shots of the engine that were photos
and the book was made up by I think DeLorean Motor Center in California.
There are no letters in front of the sections and I don't think they were
issued by Delorean?????

Like John said, there are different revisions to the manual. However,
who knows if these are actually from the factory or not. I have a
manual that sounds exactly the same as the one that you're describing.
I bought it off another DMLer years ago. It's a heinus photo copy with
blacked out pictures, showing someone doing an engine rebuild. It also
has a couple of additions, such as a fold out electrical diagram, and
the templete, and instructions for installing the electric antenna in
the rear. I don't know who compliled this manual, but the copy I have,
has D-1 badging in it. It also didn't come in a 3-ring binder. This
one was in a note book, with paper covers.

I also have the manual from DMC Houston. Theirs' is a much cleaner
copy, but uses clip art from other car makers, when it describes the
engine, etc. Much cleaner, and easier to read, but is made for someone
whom is familiar with car repair already, as has been described in the
past by others. However, I'm still wondering where DMCH got this copy
from. It's not an original, as in a couple of places, there are
handwritten notes in the guide.
