Hi Aaron

Yes thats the brake fluid reservoir.

I couldnt hear any noise at all, did you have the battery connected?

Is it charged?

How old is tha battery?

Hi Aaron,
The two black wires under the dash should connect to one of the two door switches by the drivers door. They were probably disconnected to stop the annoying buzzer.
The end of your video, the compartment behind the driver has the idle ECU.

Just my two cents: if your car interior is mouldy then just take it out and give it a proper clean; carpets, seats, knee pads etc can be removed really easy and you'll get better access to wiring etc. My girlfriend was delighted to have D carpets washed in the bath.

I couldn't hear any noise on the 2nd vid but on the first it sounds like a buzzing from the relay compartment? Or, i did have a similar issue with my seat belt warning buzzing, which is located under the dash.

Aaron, what happens if you turn the key?

Out of curiosity Aaron, if the car had LPG kit installed, see where the switch is to switch between LPG and petrol and make sure it is switched to petrol.

The fuel pump etc may be disabled to run if the switch is set to LPG.....

As Nick has said this LPG kit really needs looking at and as to its 'suitability' on a DeLorean , have a feeling this is where your main problem lies buddy, looking forward to seeing you and your car there so any remaining problems can be bottomed out then.

I was looking forward to hearing the 'funny whirring noise' again what happened???
Joking aside, I think the best thing is for you to get the car to Eurotech as soon as you can so we can crack on with it, and from your videos decide what other parts we might need and update Tony's original list at the start of this post, and then decide who is bringing what.
You never know we might get a hand off those 'bloody yanks', I know of one who is going who might be able to drive your car through the front of Arrans hotel for you!!!

oxygen sensor location:

Lift up the grey mat that is directly under the black cargo net.
under this is trapezoid shape wooden lid.
lift up via notch near the rear glass
if it won't come up then use a flat blade screwdriver and rotate the plastic but in the centre of the board 90 degrees

Once under here the connector is the grey rubber pung that goes through the bulkhead that has a thickish blue cable going through it.

but....the car won't start if the petrol pump doesn't run.........

Since i was next to my car hope this helps along with Nicks write up Aaron

[Admin-bloke]

Oh by the way the fuel pump shouldn't run continuously with the key in position 2 (unless the fuel pump has been rewired to do this as in MEC's car!)

Try putting both seat belts in the latches to see if the noise disappears.......

Other than that wait till June !
