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.

My fuel gauge is only reading at 3/4 full with a full tank and drops quickly from there. Is it difficult to repair the fuel sender unit? I'm having a hard time finding a replacement that isn't used. Since I already own one of those I might as well try and fix it.

I don't have it out of the vehicle...

Last post

I see you solved this issue by replacing the sender with new ones, can you please share the part number/s you ordered?

Hello folks,
I did something I've never done before. I changed my own oil. Everything went well, and I was able to use the lift in the auto shop at the school where I work at. This little luxury offered me a chance to poke around underneath while it was up in the air.

My van has been running...

Last post

Oil coming from multiple places unknown tends to be the valve cover IME. Mine was leaking along the manifold side and I couldn't see it even with an inspection mirror.

Anyone know where I can get a new or rebuilt alternator in Victoria today? Was on my way out to the ferry and all systems shut down! Bought a new battery at the Sidney CT and got home but my alternator is pooched. If I can swap a new one in it might save Xmas!

thanks, had the alternator rebuilt @ MACS yesterday and I installed last night. I've never used them before but the service was good.

Hello again-

I'm very, very tired of adjusting my alternator belts. I can go quite a while with them being nice and quiet, but I guarantee I'll have to tighten them at least once or twice a month. I'm running MD313660 belts.

I've also noticed one of them seems to wear out pre-maturely, the one...

Hi JB
I don't often offer my opinion on L300s but here goes.
The biggest problem is the 2 lift. Max 1 1/2 inch on the delica front end is best. These deli front ends were never engineered for 2 inch lifts with the stock upper, lower control arms and spindles. You will be forever replacing tie rods...

Hello folks,

Last post

Yes the A/C button was out and the A/C was off. The compressor was totally seized and I was unable to move the pulley once I cut the belt off. It's fine now that the seized compressor is outta the picture.

I'll deal with this in the spring now.

-13C this morning and the tachometer didn't work until I'd driven for 25 minutes. Would that be a sender issue (which I believe is on the injection pump) or a dial issue (in the instrument panel)?

BTW, Wilson started up right away, chugged for a bit and then ran with no issues. :-D

Just bought these. Perfect fit.

You’ll need to remove the top two injector pipes to get the socket in and it’s a very fine thread on that centre bolt so just keep unscrewing until it comes off. Easy o-ring swap. Minimal fuel spillage. Prime the injectors you disconnected (loosen the other end of...

Just curious if anyone else out there has the transfer case cable colour coated? Just replaced my rear crank seal this weekend and as I was installing the cable back I realized mine are colour coated. Red for the top and yellow for the bottom cable.

Last post

Mine had rings of red and yellow tape under all the grease, it didn't actually occur to me that it was some kind of colour coding, but it would make sense on the production line. The cables are quite similar when dangling down.
