Re: Frame Rust Repair?

I saw your rig in Randals yard when I grabbed my van. Nice wheels! Thanks! Did you see the new wheels, inside? I have them mounted now. The old wheels developed a problem with the valve stems and I couldn't find replacement parts, so I gave them to a tech at work who said he knew where to find the ...

Frame Rust Repair?

I have a 95 SWB Chamonix that's in good condition except for having the front frame rust problem. I'm wondering how feasible it is to fix that? Has anyone gone down that road or know anyone who does that kind of work? It's a good Delica, otherwise, so it's worth putting some money into.

Delica Trader not working?

I have a Delica for sale but I can't seem to get into the Trader section of the web site. I get this error message. ErrorException [ 2 ]: Use of undefined constant MCRYPT_MODE_NOFB - assumed 'MCRYPT_MODE_NOFB' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) ~ APPPATH/config/auth.php [ 15 ] Is ...

Where should I get my brakes & oil change done?

Couldn't confirm anywhere the engine oil capacity. Is is 6.5L like the L300 Diesel?
Yes, 6.5 sounds right. I always buy two 4-litre bottles and there's a litre and a bit left over.

Temporary trailer hitch on '95 L400 bush bar?

Damn, I didn't think through what I wrote. I'm talking about the bush bar on the front. I already have a hitch on the back. But thanks for your thoughts.

Temporary trailer hitch on '95 L400 bush bar?

I'm planning to mount a trailer hitch on the front of my '95 L400, for manoeuvring a boat in my driveway. This is a temporary hitch only. I'll pop it on when I need to move the boat, then remove it again. It'll never be used on the street or at anything above a slow walking speed, and only on level ...

What's my Delica worth?

I'm not selling my Delica. But I'm attempting to do a cost comparison between commuting to work on my ebike and commuting with the Delica, and it turns out that depreciation is a big factor in both cases, so I'm attempting to estimate the annual depreciation cost of my Delica. Any thoughts? I'm look...

Right-angle valve stems

My Delica's wheels have valve stems with a 90-degree bend in them that no shop or tire store I've visited recognize. One is cracked and leaking, so I'm driving with the spare on (and no spare). Does anyone else have these stems? More to the point, does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Re: curious

It might be worth taking some metric tools with you, even if you're not adept at using them. Any decent diesel mechanic (or farmer) should be able to handle most things that you'd need done. But having selection of metric wrenches, sockets, and hex keys with you will help a lot, probably. Parts coul...

Re: Why don't people like Delicas in Alberta ?

I think almac is probably the closest. A Delica is a bit iconoclastic, and there are a lot more people willing to do something iconoclastic if there's infrastructure to support it -- service and parts, in this case. Plus some sense that others are going that route, too. It's rare for me to drive any...

Re: almost everything for recently rolled delica space gear

I'm really sorry to hear about your misfortune.

But if I might capitalize on it... I'm looking for an L400 dashboard center console. Mine is damaged beyond practical repair.
