You know what? This wasn't an oil pan gasket leak after all. This was the hint of the beginning of the Massive Oil Leak! Be afraid, be very afraid.

And check out my Massive Oil Leak post for more details.

Smoke upon startup and under heavy load sounds like trouble...however, I had white smoke on startup, and it proved a simple fix: the exhaust was sucking in fresh air past the gasket. If it's black smoke, or blue smoke could be way worse trouble and $$$. Front tire wear sounds like worn out shocks. E...

Yeah, I've had that experience at parts counters, when they realize the Delica isn't in their computer: "What make?" "Mitsubishi" "What model?" "Delica L300" "What year?" "1994" Then they kind of freeze up, like a bug that's been crawling around on a window too long. Or they start chuckling absent-m...

Yeah, genuine Mitsubishi starter relays are ridiculously expensive. Coombs County Auto said they would sell me one for $335. Check out my post on modifying a $10 relay for use in the Delica: http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15921&p=122086&hilit=relay#p122086 Oh, and welcome aboard as a...

One of my tires got a crack in the sidewall. This presented a surprisingly difficult problem. You can't put a new tire on, because it will be less worn that the other three, and hence will have a larger diameter. This can apparently wreak havoc with your transfer case in 4WD (though a lot of this so...

I just got a split in the sidewall of a Yokohama Geolander P235 / 75 R15, so I'm looking for a used tire with similar wear to the rest of the set. I'm not sure how to gauge %age tread, but I've driven about 40,000km on these. I figure I've got about 2 more years before I have to buy new rubber all a...

I had technical problems in Clearwater last summer, and in the course of resolving them, I heard that there was a Delica owner living in Clearwater. Just wondering if you're active on this forum.

It's like Kate and Anna McGarrigle! I've been having this problem lately that the site asks me to log in, when I've already logged in. Especially problematic when I compose a post, and when I hit Submit, I get redirected to a Login page, then my post vaporizes. I've taken to copying the post to the ...

I replaced the clear, aftermarket tail lights that came with the van with stock ones.

Advanced the timing? In a diesel? Wow, he really knew what he was doing!

I found the automatic car washes don't do a good job on vans; They're designed for sedans. I feel like I spent eight bucks and still need to wash my van.

I bought a truck brush and a bucket, for when I can't find a truck wash.

There's also these things called Helicoils. You drill the hole larger, cut threads with the supplied tap, then insert this stainless steel spring to end up with threads the original size.

I swapped out the aftermarket, clear-lens tail lights that came with it and put in some stock lights, with regular amber turn signals.

These were in my L300 when I bought it second hand, and I've replaced them with regular Delica tail lights. I'm told these are fancy-shmancy aftermarket tail lights, to pimp your ride. I've also been told these are not compliant with North American standards. The issue being, turn signals here are s...

What colour is it? I have a green P25 low roof, and I'd like to replace the dented tailgate.

I'm also interested in some little bits: the screws that hold the interior trim, and one of the square plastic thingees that the tail light screws screw into.

Thanks,
