So I decided on Saturday just to stop at any shop that does inspection, so they can see what I have, and tell me on the spot if they can or cannot do an inspection.

Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of purchasing a BC registered vehicle. For any Oregonians out there with delicas, where have you gotten your insurance? What are the rates like?

Most importantly, where's your favorite place in Oregon to take it?!

I went through Hagerty. I am paying $446 USD per year with a $1,000 deductible. State Farm didn't know how to insure it, but they want another stab at a quote. However, without a 17 digit VIN, they don't seem to know what to do. I'll be darned if they want to insure it as an '89 Mitsubishi Van, and...

I'm going to look at a 1989 L300 Delica tomorrow. It's a low-roof with a manual, 4WD, and the 4D56. I've briefly looked it over once, and it appears to be clean and very low rust. That being said, what are some things I should specifically look for on this vehicle? Anything in particular?

Last post

They sold L300s here until 2015 so they're the most common van you see on the road- as you probably noticed ;-)

Manuals are a bit rare. There's a design fault which starts with 5th gear, the mainshaft nut comes loose and the gears move around, eventually failing in a spectacular manner. It's...

I recently bought a first generation L400 97 Delica from a dealer and it has DOT on inside of headlight. There is no E code on this headlight. Is this a illegal headlight for BC?

Last post

...If there's an arrow pointing to the right ➞ then the headlamp is for the wrong (left) side of the road. That's a little counterintuitive until you realise the arrow, as you face it , is pointing to the side of the road the headlamp is for use on.

It took me a while to parse this, as I usually...
