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...

I finally get to report on a new to me Rec Site. This last week I spent 3 days @ Gwen lake. Gwen is located east of the Coquihalla using the Comstock exit south of Merritt. The lake is about 6.5 km from the highway with less than a km. to challenge your van. The road has a few water holes but the...

1995 Delica nearing EOL

So I have a 1995 Delica Space Gear that has served me very well. However, I think it is reaching the end of its useful life.

The problems are mounting and becoming hard to ignore. The main issue is that it doesn't start well once the temperature approaches freezing. Anything below -5C is pretty...

HI, I'm having a hard time finding reasonable insurance for an L300/L400 in Ontario. I've been turned down outright or I did manage to find a broker who quoted me approx $4000/year.

For comparison, the quote was based on:
Approximately 10-15K Km/year of driving
Location in Toronto
$1million...

Well, now I've moved back to ON and looking for insurance myself. Did you have any luck? Does anyone else have any ideas?

I recently sold my '89 L300 (GLX, low roof, 5MT). I ran across a newly imported L400 2.8 with a rare 5MT. I've very tempted by it. However, it looks like the 4M40 with the 5MT is a very, very rare bird. Apparently it uses the V5M31 (same as a Pajero) so it's not too oddball in that respect. I've...

Only rumour but I've heard that the automatic is stronger than the manual. Look at the ratios for top end speed and ask your self how you'd like shifting with your left hand??

IMHO a manual trans would be awesome and I'd buy it!!! (except that I'm a gas man)

Are you sure the tailgate door is closed. Push on it and notice if the door moves. Flickering is a symptom of it not being closed. Have someone watch the dash light when you push on the closed tailgate, if the light extinguishes then the tailgate is not closing.

You may have to move the body...

Hey, does anyone have a stock radio from an L300 that they aren't using that I could buy? I know a lot of people get rid of theirs but I'm trying to do the opposite!
