While having a very slow day fishing this past week I had an idea that I think may have some merit. Most Delica owners expound on all the camping and back road driving they intend to do once they have it 'set up' for camping. If this is the case we should have a vast knowledge of many of the...

Hi IRP and BCD
I agree Horn is a great Lake but if you drive all that way you need try Sapeye, Bluff and especially Middle Lake. Only Sapeye has (easy) lake access and Middle lake access is through gated public property. The area floods most springs and the road can be in rough shape.

Rear end problems L400 Space Gear

I have a 1996 Delica L400 Space Gear and the rear right axle is frozen but the left side turns. Calipers have been removed, so it's not brakes.
I can drive the van forward and backward, but the right rear wheel drags, left turns no problem. WTF?

Checked the frame for rust yet? Common spots are the frame below the batteries, as well as above the rear bump stops.

If you still really want it get her checked out by a good mechanic in your area.
