Hey lads, I've a few questions for ye... 1. How do you get the trunk to actually pop open when the lever is pulled? Mine doesn't move so I have to lift it while pulling the lever. Do I just replace the spring in the mechanism?? 2. Any point in getting the original door lock solenoid rewound? Or should I get an upgraded new one from PJ Grady? My passenger side one is very weak. 3. how do you actually remove the ac mode switch?! I have the center console off, and the ac illumination panel, what comes next?? 4. This one isn't very DMC related, but while messing around getting my center console off I must have hit something, as now I suddenly get engine noise interference on the radio. Any suggestions on what I might have done?! 5. I've a leaky exhaust, so the car sounds a bit like a VW bus at the moment. Martin, I saw your page on re-doing all the gaskets - where did you get the parts? Can I go to my local volvo guy and get the correct gaskets and bolts? What are the part numbers? 6. Just noticed I've got an original 80 amp alternator on my car. Its a September 1981. How has it lasted this long? I thought they were all junk! The car had 12,000 original miles a year ago, and now has 24,000. I've never had any problems with the alternator... Should I bother changing it or wait until it finally gives up? 7. I'm planning on buying another DMC when I get back to the USA full time, to do a complete restoration/customisation. I'll be looking for a car with a really bad frame (so I can buy an SS frame for it), also with bad drivetrain, so that also can be replaced with probably a Porsche transmission and a better engine. Anyone know of such a car at the moment? 8. I have the early locks on my car, but don't like the look of them. But, I do like the hoodlines that come with the 81's. My last question is were any cars made with both hoodlines and the later one- key system? Thanks, John Dore, Ireland. #3810.
