Need a quick spot of help identifying a part Attachment(s)

So I was under my L300 a week or so ago and came across a broken wire. I believe it has something to do with my 4wd but I'm unsure. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Spare Tire Lowering Bolt
by takeuchi » Sat Apr 14, 2018 9:22 am » in L300 Technical
First post

Mine was broken, so I had the tire carrier strapped up to the body somewhere. Found a bolt at Canadian tire and crudely welded a nut onto it (tried not to breathe toxic smoke). Used threaded rod for the bolt part.

I still have it strapped up as a fail safe. Does anyone see anything wrong with...

Pretty sure m12x1.25

That would be my guess as well, but I don't actually have one to measure. It's also a slightly unusual thread pitch- most M12s at the hardware store will be M12X1

Headlight light bulbs

Do you folks also find yourselves changing light bulbs in your headlights every four to five months? I keep a stash of H3's in my cold box. Am I the only one?

The Philips Crystal Vision are great, despite the stupid blue tint band. Osram Nightbreakers are also excellent.

Hey there everybody!

After recently reading some posts about the dreaded underbody rust i decided to take a peek underneath assess what kind of situation my Deli is in. It's not bad but there is for sure some areas I want to take care of before they get any worse. I proded the bad bits with a...

I'm all set to do the Fluid Film undercoat on May 4/5 weekend with the Fluid Film gun & kit from the U.S.

Turns out there is some sort of pain already on some of the axles and frame parts, but whatever, I'll just give it the old college try and coat the bottom of my van with tons of fluid...

Garage Flooring Install 2.0 Attachment(s)
by dr_airtime » Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:56 pm » in L400 Technical
First post

Why is this thread 2.0? Because in my L300 I installed a legendary one piece garage flooring where with one piece the floor wrapped up against the front engine block, walls, and even around the wheels wells which required some focused and commited angles cuts. To make it work I glued the floor down...

One mistake was trying to use exoxy for those final bench seat corners covers. Was rushing and they have already come apart. Will have to re-do with some construction-grade sealant from a sealant gun.

Fuel Mileage
by swimmerdood » Sun Apr 22, 2018 7:59 pm » in General Discussion
First post

Hey all.

This may seem like a simple question but, I have a '98 L400 and was wondering what in the average mileage you folks get per tank. City driving for me is around 250 km, if I am really gentle.

I don't drive her hard so am concerned about my fuel consumption.

Thanks for the help

Erik :)

Poochike,

Thanks for that. I will check that option out and let you know. :)

While having a very slow day fishing this past week I had an idea that I think may have some merit. Most Delica owners expound on all the camping and back road driving they intend to do once they have it 'set up' for camping. If this is the case we should have a vast knowledge of many of the...

I have gone back into my archives again as it appears spring is still a long way away especially @ higher elevations. I chose Pioneer Lake, one of 100's of lakes on the “Fishing Hwy.” west of Little Fort. I was last their in 2010 which was the second year for Delica camping. Pioneer is almost 4300...

Thinking we'll do a run of 8 of them, if anyone is interested let me know, and what kind of transmission, AT or Manual. also if anyone has input on what material, alu vs steel, and what thickness you'd want, hopefully we can use...

I bought one of these but cannot for the life of me figure out where it bolts up. I have an '89 L300 and have removed the two thin front guards from beneath my van. Does anyone have photos of one of these installed?

Is L300 fuel sender unit repair possible? Attachment(s)
by ontheebrink » Fri Apr 06, 2018 10:47 am » in L300 Technical
First post

My fuel gauge is only reading at 3/4 full with a full tank and drops quickly from there. Is it difficult to repair the fuel sender unit? I'm having a hard time finding a replacement that isn't used. Since I already own one of those I might as well try and fix it.

I don't have it out of the vehicle...

Last post

Thanks for the update, it's good to know the senders come out easily. I'm glad the fuel gauge is working again, but bad luck with the glow plugs!

Hopefully the broken bits are still in the precombustion chambers. If you remove the injectors you can probably get tweezers in there, or maybe apply a...

Posting from the side of the freeway while I await a tow! I was driving along the I5 southbound from SF to LA and shortly after I passed the spot where my very first van caught fire in 2013, my delica shuddered and started making a grinding sound. I immediately pulled over, smoking (white) to see a...

Garage in Edmonton
by P.Gaudreault » Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:17 am » in L400 Technical
First post

Good day,
Is there a good garage in Edmonton area that they are use to work on Delica?
I would like to get a full inspection and change few part on my rig for making my Delica like a new car. I have few issue with my van and I would like to invest some money to make her reliable.

Thank you.

Last post

I have developed a trust in Automotion on 111Ave. In my opinion he know's his delica's (and other diesel imports), the import parts acquisition scene, and has working relationships with delica specialists/importers. (780) 484-9269

Hello Delica.ca,

The head on the ol' L300 cracked about a year ago and I'm finally ready to tackle the job. My van is parked uncovered in the backyard, no hydraulic lift or air tools. Grungy backyard mechanic! I'll be doing the updates in real-time so it might take awhile. I'll endeavor to be as...

Last post

Or have I misunderstood the question?
Thanks, that was it in part. I was hoping to glean what I may from Tojo's experience. I encountered things like considerable carbon and stubborn seat washers, cleaning and working carefully to keep debris out of the head. I was trying to learn as much as I...

Thanks

Last post

I was able to get custom mixed spray cans @ NBR Distributors in Kamloops. They are also in Vernon and Salmon Arm. They will use their paint gun or whatever you call it to match. I also tried a number of Mitsubishi codes and most of the usual ones are in their system. They are about $25 per can and...
