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 had to include this site even though it is quite a distance from southern BC. It is located about 150 km north of Dease Lake or about 115 km south of Watson Lake, Yukon. Anyone that has been to Boya lake knows why. It has to be one of the most interesting lakes in BC. Boya Lake has a provincial...

I totally different take nothing about repairs, just trip reports, how you use your delica, etc

Example today I loaded the chain saw and lined the back of the delica with a tarp. Grabbed my best bud (wheeler my dog) and went out and got a load of maple and cedar. Filled the delica up to the...

I'm not sure if it's just me and a few Delica drivers that I've talked to but it's almost like Husky is still serving Winter diesel. Why they have started selling Winter diesel in the Lower Mainland is beyond me as it never gets to -15°. In around November of...

I am writing this because it seems as though some people believe there is some almighty force that decides when and where meets are happening and that they are just simple delica owners who would love to attend if one were scheduled on a convenient date in their area. This is not the case as many...

We should have more of these more often.

Agreed, in that case, it's up to you to make sure attendance is good! The problem is that even when we hold them every 6 months we still don't always have a great turn-out.

I am about to pull the trigger in purchasing 1993 L300 Spacewagon with 178,000kms

It starts very well, idles just over 2,000rpms (I'd like to see it at 1,300) no body rust but some surface rust underneath.

As an employee in the motorcycle biz that use to sell used bikes: Ask if there is any service history. I believe all the belts should be replaced at 120,000km. If you're inclined to crawl underneath, look at shocks for wear (leakage), on my L300 the rubber mounts at the back of the tranny were...

Hey people,
I'm looking to import a Delica to Nova Scotia this spring. I have many questions. This would by my daily driver and weekend camper, I have young kids and I'm wondering about airbags and other safety equipment such as ABS breaks. What years Delica should I be looking for?
Thanks

Last post

Hey, I've got a '02 Delica. Mine has front airbags and abs brakes. I think both were options in the older models but front what I've seen when paroozing the Japanese auctions abs and airbags become more common, if not standard in the '03 onward models.
Cheers!

HI, I'm having a hard time finding reasonable insurance for an L300/L400 in Ontario. I've been turned down outright or I did manage to find a broker who quoted me approx $4000/year.

For comparison, the quote was based on:
Approximately 10-15K Km/year of driving
Location in Toronto
$1million...

Last post

Hi, I did contact Right Drive and they forwarded me to a broker who quoted me $4K/year. What, may I ask are others in Ontario paying for their insurance premiums?
