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

I have a L300 with an 4d56 and am wondering if the head can be removed with both manifolds attached. Could I be so fortunate. Any thoughts appreciated...thank you.

Hello!

New to the Delica world, I got mine 10 days ago, passed QC Safety Inspection today ( :-D ), now time to play!

Since I got it, I always thought the headlights were really bad (I can barely see the road lines) , high beams are excellent (and very impressive). Today I noticed there's no more...

Last post

Will those headlights be DOT approved??
If they can't aim to the right them they will blind oncoming drivers and make you subject to mucho problems, not to mention giving the rest of us a bad name. See potential insurance problems and conflicts with the law.

Hello folks,

I gave that all to familiar squeak coming from the belts of my '93 L300. I've ordered a new set of genuine Mitsubishi belts as well as the power steering belt from amayama. My plan was to have a friend who teaches Auto Mechanics do the job with some of his students. The problem is...

Hey Growler,

I'm only going to change out my alternator and power steering belts this time around as I believe I can do this job myself. I'm at 74K since the last time I had my timing belts changed, so I'm reluctantly leaving this job until next year. I have the link you shared with the relevant...

some random brand with flexible heat sinks. I did not want to cut the backing. They have been great so far.

How hard is it to remove? I might have an oil leak there and mechanic said I would need a vehicle hoist to get some parts down.

Mechanic did it prior, so I'm not sure. It looks like the metal seal they gave back to me has black goop on it.

In the process of getting rid of electrical gremlins when the dash was out, I removed an aftermarket antenna (for an aftermarket radio) and now have poor radio reception. Does the stock antenna have a wire running somewhere so I can use that one?

Hey all, this job is my last to do of 2013 so I hope I can get it resolved here. So when you unscrew the Auto free hub cap on your front wheel you will see a splined shaft about 1.5 in diameter. On the end of this drive shaft is a lockring. My lockring came off somehow and I tried a couple of...

Thanks a lot. I finally got the ring installed, minus the shim however. Now I have to tackle the driver side hopefully that will go a little bit smoother.

It's hard to say how much a repair will cost until you know what's wrong. Guessing what's wrong is a surefire way of spending too much money!

When it's doing this, open the engine cover and check that the throttle lever is resting on the idle speed screw like it should be. As Steven says, it might be your AC idle-up solenoid holding the lever back (or binding in the accelerator cable, or the kickdown cable, or... or... or... lots of...
