I second all the suggestions above. Also inspect the exhaust manifold for cracks and expect to have it welded; this is not that hard to deal with and may have to wait until you buy it. But yeah, they all crack.. always

this....never ended up happening. its been dead in our carport since something killed the battery. keep it topped off with a trickle charger for a decent while but then those times I charged it dwindled.

no time and my competence levels were shook replacing so many things. have the parts. am...

On Japanese L300s those three lights all come on when the alternator isn't charging. (The brake and coolant* lights are connected to the alternator/battery light via a couple of diodes, because Mitsubishi was too cheap to install a power on self test timer.)

The easy test would be to unplug the...

There's one on Ebay ( ) that claims to fit a 1990 Mitsubishi Van, but the pictures don't show the upper bracket and lower locating feet I'm used to. Did the US market Van had a different radiator mounting system to the JDM Delicas?

I'm trying to remember back to when I had my vanwagon. I'm certain one switch locked out overdrive until the engine was up to a certain temperature. One locked out A/C clutch until the engine was a certain temperature. One was for the ecu to reference, and the last was the sender for the gauge. I...

So I took the van into a mechanic to help troubleshoot my rough idle situation (I haven't had time to open things up and troubleshoot on the engine)...I'm also still using the van as my daily driver to a from work so its making things a bit difficult. One observation the mechanic made was that I...

We live in the north, and I drive it year round. In previous years, it had old tires with good tread, but old rubber is hard vs the need for softer rubber to grip well on snow and ice. This year I put new tires on it and the van did OK. Not great. It's an unstable vehicle due to the tall sides and...

Very nice van. Loving the stance in the turn. oh yeah...hello by the way.

Digging up this question... Has anyone found a decent cover? Looking at the front seats and they're smaller than just about anything else in the U.S. I tried the "wetsuit material" covers from Costco. Blech! Don't bother.

When I had my Clarion installed, which is a single DIN unit, into the Delica's double DIN space, the installers just put a storage shelf in beneath it to fill out the double DIN space. The shelf/pocket is quite handy for things like sunglasses &c.. I believe they are readily available on E-Bay...

Yeah, Interesting it keeps popping up. I think Ebay is probably the best bet, though Craigslist may work better to find a local buyer. Not sure how many people would drop perhaps 1000 to ship a $5000 van. I just looked over the pictures and was again surprised how much rust under it, and in the...

That was part of my issue with them, wondering how full spectrum they were. A lot of effort has been put into LED room/interior lighting to make the output less harsh. My principal issue was that they were all made of many (like 10+) parallel devices and I just wondered about the lifetime and...

Well, after driving it for a few hundred miles, the slight timing change produced quite a difference in the way the engine performs. It feels 15% stronger, and idles better, starts faster, etc, etc. I'm anxious to see the fuel economy because it went quite a bit farther on this tank of gas as well....

Sure, let me know what you think will be useful and I'll send you a picture or something. Also send me a PM with your contact info I can text a photo to or something.

That's awesome it did so well for your relatives! Too bad about being gouged for the repair though. This must be a common issue as both of my vans need that hose replaced. The shop must charge $1000 per hour. It's just not that hard to replace and bulk fuel hose would be more than adequate. Maybe...

... It turns out the part is discontinued so I've struck out at 2 different Mitsubishi parts distributors. ...
Bummer. Now that you have both the PNC# & OEM number, have you tried an after market shop, such as Napa? I'm not sure what shops there are in Connecticut* but I'd think that there is...

I went for the Rock Auto "improved handling" KYB Gas-a-Just when I swapped the (seemingly original) shocks out, which were very dead. Before the swap, I would describe the handling as "battleship-like". I definitely gave up some ride smoothness for flatter handling, since I like...
