Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

thanks nxski. I used to go to Mr. Lube on 2nd & Main when I had my '93 mazda pickup and didn't really care about the service. The one on arbutus is close to my work so maybe I'll check them out.

Thanks for the feedback so far! Well I have no intention of doing my own oil change. Do you guys recommend a place like Mr. Lube??? Recommendations on oil going into a Vancouver winter?

Hi,

I've always taken my van to CVI for mechanical work but I'm wondering if anyone recommends another shop in Vancouver (for convenience) where I can take her for a brake job and oil change? Maybe 2 different places? Should I just take it to butch for peace of mind?

thanks for the tip. Much appreciated.

got it. What's your recommendation? Have you seen anyone make this work?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Van seemed to sort itself out and now seems to switch properly between all of the 4x4 settings. I learned alot from this post!

Hi, I'm desperately searching for a ladder and have come across this guy - http://sunshine.en.craigslist.ca/pts/2365085125.html Unfortunately it's for an L300 and I'm not sure if it will fit on my L400 High roof (PE8W). Anyone know if this will fit? Anyone ever made one of these work on an L400? tha...

thanks for the detailed response jfarsang. From what I recall, I have 3 shifting options. The bottom one is my 2wd, which is what I keep it in normally to drive. I drove with the shifter in the top one for about 30-40km. I'm hoping that is the 4H - please excuse my ignorance as I'm quite new to this...

Steven,

thanks for the reply. Are these parts that you typically have in stock? Also, how would I find out which part is damaged (if any)? Do you guys have the ability to test for this?

Hi, On a trip this past weekend, I had the deli full of gear, people and 4 bikes on the back. While "entering" the camp ground area, I got my self on some awkward ground and had to use the 4x4 to get out. It looks like it put alot of pressure on the van and when I tried to get it out of the 4x4 it w...

Nice! I was debating getting one of these but it appears to be the way to go.

Anyone have an extra (or is willing to part with their current) roof rack to fit an L400. I am considering buying a Thule but would much prefer one of the original Japanese racks.

nxski or anyone else who can offer some insight Do you have experience with that simple hatch mounted rack that you put into your post? I have an L400 and need to carry 4 bikes. I have been looking at the fancy Yakima and Thule racks that have the swing away function for easy hatchback access - http...

Sun Peaks eh? I spent 5 hours trying to get my L400 started attempting to leave 2 weeks ago. It was brutal. I wish I had invested in a block heater just to save myself the ordeal. It gets damn cold up there and I recommend being prepared. *Disclaimer: I have only had my deli for less than a month. I...

Hi,

I'm looking for a ladder and roof rack with basket - preferably the ones that come from japan - for my L400 (high roof). I'm open to options
