Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

After all the organizing guidelines, rules and attendant hue and cry what happened to this otherwise promising thread ? Simply died ?

Many thanks for the feedback. For the minimal effort involved I think I'll put in a loop just in case.

Hi folks In my ongoing quest to expeditionize and generally declutter my L400, I have decided to do away with the rear heater and related plumbing. Would anyone be able to tell me if cutting and plugging the in and out hoses going from the T connectors in the engine bay to the rear heater is a bad i...

You say you have already tried cycling the glow plugs to no avail. You may also want to take a look at the glow circuit and how well it's working. That was the problem in my hard-starting situation. See the post I submitted in reply to DeliTan's Tue Jan 05 "Unusual difficult start problem".

Thanks for the feedback, very helpful.
