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.

So I have a problem and I could use some help from other L300 owners. I currently have a '91 L300 with a 4D56 engine. After being ripped off a couple of times (don't ask not gonna get into it here) I had my Delica taken to a good and honest friend(shoutout to Chuck) to check it out. After some...

Hard to say without actually tearing it down and inspecting everything, but in my experience I would go for a new engine.

If the crank bearings have failed, the metal they've made might have taken out the balance shaft bearings and journals, oil pump, maybe cam bearings and scored/worn the...

Infernal Squeaking from under the chassis

I hope someone out there might know this one. It's a head scratcher.

There is a squeaking that comes from under the chassis. It sounds like a rubber bushing moving inside a carrier or something. It's not constant but squeals like rubbing on movement, like over bumps, turning the wheels at a stand...

Last post

The usual culprits for suspension squeaks are the anti-roll bar bushes. Also check your subframe mounting nuts- it's unlikely to be them (they usually cause a clunk) but if they are loose you want to find it now.

My glow plugs aren't heating up and the relays are clicking but one right after another. I took out the ECU and found quite a few traces on the circuit board are corroded so I figure that's the issue. Given the amount of corrosion it doesn't look repairable.

L300 Leaking fuel injection pump head

First post

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

So... Theoretically I'll be able to take it off, replace the seals, and reinstall it with out having to redo the timing? That seems too good to be true.

If I do a full rebuild will it require redoing the timing?

I was able to check the timing today. With the cam and IP right on their marks it appears the crank pulley is about 5mm out. Is it fair to say the crank sprocket is probably a tooth off?

Hi,
I am about to replace the two heater hoses behind the motor. Do I have to drain the coolant before I remove them? Is silicon spray a good lubricant for getting the new hoses on?
Thanks,

There's no guarantee but I've found they're expensive tp replace, and last much longer if you forget about them.

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...

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

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

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...
