Re: Glow plug problem/mechanic recommendation in Victoria BC

Hi explosive Abe, it sounds like you're on the right track with looking at the glow plug system. I take my van to Ray and Judith at Marigold Service on Burnside.

Re: Need help with Alternator please...

Thanks for all the excellent advice. I have decided to go with Coombs Country Auto Parts. The one I have is a 75 amp and he is willing to sell me a 90 amp for $275.00 (with core return). It comes with a warranty. After reading through the threads it seems that the higher amperage will serve me well....

Re: Need help with Alternator please...

I removed the driver's seat and plate it sits on and found it easier to undo the tensioner bolts and the one that holds it to the frame. Partly because I'm right handed and I find it easier to have my palm facing what I'm working on rather than my knuckles (if I approach from the passenger side to g...

Need help with Alternator please...

Hi folks,

What is the best way to remove and replace the alternator on an L300? Is it a hand scratching endevor or is there an easier way?

What should I be removing if anything?

Re: Battery problems...please advise.

Thanks. I will go in tomorrow and see what I can get.

Thanks for the extra advice about the alternator. Well worth checking on.

Is there a benchmark CCA that I should be shooting for? 500 ? 600?

Battery problems...please advise.

Hi everyone, Nicole and I have just bought our 1991 delica L300 SuperExceed. This morning we went out and she wouldn't start. Took the batteries out and down to C-Tire.
