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.

Hey all...

I am taking off the headliner and a whole of stuff to treat the rust from inside and just seeing the mechanism for how the power shades work.

Was wondering if anyone has manual shades on their crystal lite? Does such a thing even exist or were they all power shades?

Does anyone have...

This is excellent. What you're saying makes sense. You really have to treat the rust from the inside to do this fix properly. I bought mine with these rust spots on the roof, but over my 7 years of ownership, they've not gotten all that much worse. My van has been rock solid and hands down the best...

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with my delica. 92 4D56 l300 diesel. Starts up great with no problems.

Kind of hard to tell, but from the way it hangs around it looks like white smoke to me. At 7pm it was, what, 30C/85F? Steam wouldn't hang around like that at those temperatures. Unless it's *really* steaming, in which case driving it a bit isn't going to do any more damage to a cracked head/blown...

So other than taking apart the dash is there something I should check to see why the speedometer stopped working today? It might be due to some rough 4x4ing, nothing too major, just a lot of shaking. Any suggestions?

My injection pump is leaking through a bolt on the back that connects the pump head. From what I have gathered there is an O ring for the pump head that needs replacing. Is it possible to replace the o ring with out removing the whole pump? Is there anything else I should do while I've got it...

Last post

you can remove the IP without disturbing the timing. Or, at least, reinstall the IP in exactly the same orientation it was.

Thinking about this... When you remove the pump, do you need to mark the gear's location somehow so the pump's internals are where they were when you removed it, or does it...

First post

So I found the source of my wet carpets even after sealing behind the front corners and roof gutters. There is water leaking through the sunroof seam sort of near the front hinges. Doesn't look bad, but has anyone else had this problem or fixed this?

Do I just try to remove the sealer, clean it...

Last post

I would definitely address the issue... if you can get it clean, treat it with a rust converter, paint and reseal you should be fine. There should also be a drain or two somewhere... make sure they're not plugged.
I don't actually have a sunroof so I can't offer anything more specific.

Well I can't help as to what's causing the squeaking. But It is possible to drain or flush the power steering fluid. Keep in mind that I'm not a L300 owner, but an L400. However the power steering setups are similar from what I can tell.

I'm going through and replacing any bushings that are looking worn, (possibly everything) Where's a good source for stock bushings, and/or poly aftermarket in North America? I can ship from overseas if needed but would prefer NA.

Any that should be polyurethane vs rubber? Or any that I should...

Last post

Sure look similar, but that doesn't mean much... At $17 for the moog part it's certainly worth a shot. And if they fit, then the Prothane bushings would too.
I can't imagine there were that many options/makers for OEM leafs with oval eyes...

Last post

I think I started to look into it because it was hard to stop the van. More pressure needed on the pedal than I recall. I upgraded to dual piston to make it easier. I think I'll have to replace the right caliper as the slider pins are so pitted they are making reinstall hard. Maybe I didn't install...

Hi guys

both my alternator belts blew. I thought I had 2 new ones in the wings but actually I just had 1 alternator and one A/C belt. Is it possible to drive on just one belt t get it back to my place while I wait for 2 new ones????

Last post

It shouldn't cause any harm, but it'll wear the belt out quicker, and failure of the belt means loss of brake booster and power steering. Is there no local parts store that can sell you a single belt?

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.
