[DML] New Owner Questions



Hello DML,

I am the new owner of #15112, and it just completed a major restoration up to near excellent condition.  I've put on about 100 miles since the restoration (now currently at 17,500), and a few things came up and I wanted to check if they were serious.

1.  A high pitched whining noise just started that is coming from the passenger glove compartment area.  I popped the truck and can hear it even louder toward the passenger area.  I assumed it had something to do with the air conditioning, but the noise is there whenever the car is running regardless of the air conditioning or heat being on and off.  Any idea what it could be?  Is it serious?

2.  The front suspension is quite squeaky over bumps and around turns (mostly front/right).  Is this something a general car mechanic could lubricate and fix, or do I need a Delorean specialist?  What direction could I give a mechanic about how to approach it?  I have the Eibach Suspension.  

3.  I left my headlights (new Silverstar halogens) on for about 10-15 minutes while the ignition was off.  I tried to start the car, and it looks like the 15 minutes of headlight usage drained enough power from the battery to prevent me starting the car again.  Is this normal?  I actually was able to jump start the engine with the Wagan Easy Quick Jumper (a cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter jumper device, which I had bought "just in case" and was shocked actually worked), which I assume is safe for the car (or at least safer than a normal jump start).

Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all,

Adam Troy
Vin# 15112
