Hi team,

Can anyone recommend a workshop to help me deal with a pesky oil leak in Vancouver? With CVI moving out to Langley in need to find someone closer.

The closer to Vancouver the better.

Thank you kindly in advance!

I had a great experience with Russell at RJD. He knows his stuff, is pragmatic w.r.t. needed repairs vs. “nice to have”, and charges reasonable rates. He has my business now.

Hello all,

Getting into buying one of these badboys!

I see a lot Vans for sale from these guys. They are a dealer in Burnaby, B.C. I saw the Delica Dealer/Importer Ratings and Feedback post with many dealers on it but Velocity Cars was not in there.

Does anyone have any info on these guys?...

Last post

Just bought a 99 Delica from them a couple weeks ago. Overall I'm happy with the service, they were upfront about all their prices and were able to produce any documents I asked for so nothing too shady going on there. We spent a few days driving around BC then made the drive back to Calgary...

Am looking to buy and see that Vancouver Velocity has many delicas in stock that are priced lower than some of the other importers. Some of the google reviews seem to suggest they are a bit shady.

Is it because I am new to Delicas?

Where can someone buy new parts WITHOUT being gouged?
I've gotten a couple of things from a few dealers (I won't mention names) and they ask ridiculous prices for some things

eg; Air filter for $65 - That's just insulting

Hi Evan,

So most people know that Coombs is the place to be for delica service on the Island. I'm there quite a bit and have also frequented CVI. I have had some seriously bad experiences at Marigold auto and so have friends. Just wondering if anyone has other recommendations for Delica service in Victoria....

Last post

Just had my delica into lyall street for some work. Everyone there was great. Took was I was afraid was going to turn into a rats nest of work and had it back on the road in a couple of hours. Looks like I found my Victoria mechanic. Highly recommended!!

Just my two cents if anyone is looking for a solid place to buy parts from, I tried RMI after a very sketchy experience from another JDM parts place and have not looked back. The guys at RMI have ALWAYS been VERY knowledgeable and helpful with everything I have had to go to them for parts on my 91...

Last post

Agreed, RMI runs a good business. Just picked up some Japanese made tie rod ends for the L400 from RMI that are much beefier than the regular ones. If you do any off-roading then you know all about busting the weaker tie rod ends.

Hello to all Delica enthusiasts.

I have been looking for Delica L300 for a while within 8k budget, and dealership JDM Import Ltd. was selling really nice unit with crystal light roof(gas though). I test-drove it, liked it, we agreed on price and I bought it. Everything was good, sales guy was very...

Last post

Canadian Tire advised to change the headlights with DOT or E-code as mentioned above. However, the Delica I bought was without DOT or EVEN E-mark.
L400 first generation goes without these marks.

I ordered E-code headlight from the Vancouver parts supplier Rocky Mountains.

I agree! I think I know which van you bought.. Green L400?
