The DML is a good source of both info and advice when it comes to 
DeLorean repairs. But of course the DML is no substitue for the 
Workshop Manual and common sense. If something is ever ommited from 
something such as a procedure for a repair that someone reccomends, 
then there are not only the moderators but fellow DMLer's who catch 
it. Nothing that is ever discussed here on the DML is any more 
hazardous then what is contained in the workshop manuals. And those 
were written by the factory. No matter who works on any car you own 
(i.e. you, a or a mechanic), there has never has been, nor will there 
ever be a subsitute for common sense. Mechanicly overall, the
DeLorean 
really isn't all that differant then other vehicles. I don't mean
just 
parts wise. Many of the procedures are simualr to other cars if not 
the same. Bleeding brakes, changing brake pads, changing the oil, 
changing the plugs, changing belts, etc... And most shops that
service 
Volvos are most time capable at tuning the engine. As much 
as the DeLorean is unique on the outside, it's pretty straight
through 
on the inside. Yes, it does have a few unique parts to it that other 
cars don't. But I've yet to run across a car that doesn't share that 
same trait with something of it's own...
