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.

It's a frikkin 4D56. It even says so on the engine block. It says Hyundai on a bunch of other parts, but I don't mind.

More info on the engine: Hyundai makes 4D56 engines under license, though they use their own naming conventions....

Last post

I haven't had to replace any of that stuff yet, but in theory it's mostly the same as a 4D56.

The parts catalog is this one:

I would take the Hyundai part number, throw it into Google, and see if it cross-references with the equivalent Mitsubishi part.

Roof rack for sale

Hello Folks,

I'm selling my roof rack. I posted it in the wrong spot, member inroductions, don't ask me why; brain fart.

Have a look. It served me well but I wrote the off and just purchased and L400. The rack won't fit on the new ride.

I think $250 is fair. no?

I had my van up on ramps which was also on an incline for about a month while I took out and replaced the alternator ( yes I took my time). Alternator is back in and working now but van won't shift into gear now. Any suggestions are welcome.

Last post

you open it in PREVIEW
then go to TOOLS
then go to ADJUST SIZE
then change the WIDTH & HEIGHT from 100% to 30%
then SAVE

should work..

you can just redo it again and again and change the % until its small enough to upload on here.

Just did a brief search on the forum but couldn’t find anything and wondering if anyone could tell me if it’s better to have the manual throttle cable open or closed when you turn off the van for the night in these moist humid winters. Does it make any difference?

Last post

On a diesel? The idle speed knob to the left of the steering column? It makes no difference. All it does is hold the accelerator pedal down a little.

Generally you're only supposed to use it when the engine's cold, to increase the idle speed. Once the engine's warm it should idle at 750rpm...

Hi,
Something strange is going on in my van. Last week my alternator failed. The dash light did not give me any warning that I was having a problem. Now that I have put about 800kms on the new one. My warning light faintly lights up while at idle. The light will go out when I accelerate. Does...

My battery is good. My alternator is good. I now noticed that when I turn on my signal light. The flickering warning lights sync with the signal light flashing. It is getting strange. I have no idea what is going on but will take a look inside my dash when I get a chance.

My rear leaf springs are pretty tired and flat and am looking for options to bring them back to life or purchase new.

I got very different quotes by 2 local spring shops. One was around $800 to just re-arch and the other was about $500 to re-arch and add a leaf. The issue I've been reading is that...

Do you know if all stock L300s use the same leaf spring specs?

One of my tires got a crack in the sidewall. This presented a surprisingly difficult problem. You can't put a new tire on, because it will be less worn that the other three, and hence will have a larger diameter. This can apparently wreak havoc with your transfer case in 4WD (though a lot of this...

Anyone happen to know someone or a place I could get a rim-tire for my L300? In real need of a spare!

Or you just send your struts to strutwise.com and have them rebuilt. They did mine several years ago (I live in Ontario) and it was the best thing I ever did to my van. Now the hatch stays up, even with a Fiamma Bike Rack attached to it. 8-)

Hi all,

Starting to see coolant dripping basically around the oil pan.

I’m hoping it’s not the head and or gasket.

I haven’t lost power and the engine oil appears normal. Black that is.

Any common places to start looking?

Thanks again and my journey begins a new.
