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...

Gump Lake is one of those lakes that you hear the rumors of lots of large fish. This year I decided it was time to find out. In the middle of August I took a friend and my trusty Delica to the lake about 60 km south of Kamloops. Part of the road is up a power line right of way but as Highland...

Delica makes a great boat launch vehicle, especially on a gravel beach like Pender Island.

Low gearing and 4x4 makes a decent log skidder too!

Just added two-stroke this week (roughly 200:1). Made a noticeable difference to engine noise...less "clackety" (a technical term) for sure. Engine seems to be running smooth. We'll see if there's any change to mpg over the next few tanks as I've stopped with the stanadyne for now.

Hello guys, where do you have your Delicas fixed ? I am not very mechanically inclined and need a few things cehcked and fixed. Could you recommend a good but not too expensive shop around Vancouver or on the island ? Thanks a lot.

Last post

I go to an independent mechanic in Burnaby. Shingo Auto, as the name implies, he is Japanese and knows Delicas. My advice is know what parts you may need or how to get them. I source some of my bits and have him do the work.

ICBC express locations

Last post by bassnailer « Mon Aug 28, 2017 7:05 pm

Has anyone had any good experiences with any of the ICBC express locations? I have been given the go ahead to have my van repaired. But I'm not quite sure who to take my van to. It has to be an ICBC approved shop, so that excludes some of our regular garages.

Thanks.

I bought from Oregon Diesel Imports. I wasn't looking for a company that did the work on them, too. I had a good experience with them.

I am, however, going to try to find a diesel mechanic that'll work on the 4D56.

Hello all. I'm working on putting together my list of requirements for a Delica L300 Super Exceed I'll be bringing into the states pretty soon. One requirement I have is a shoulder harness seat belt for the captains chairs. I've read they generally only have lap seat belts, but late 1992 models...

Last post

I religiously keep my rpms below 3000 and have had my delica for over 10 years. Also I add stanadyne lubricity at every fill up because a fuel pump is expensive and low sulfur diesel will ruin it. Sorry got off track on the thread.
Awesome advice!

The back cover comes off the tailgate easy. A couple of screws and some clips to get to the latch mechanism. It might be just the latch need to be pride up but it sounds like it could be more than that.

That's what I do. Take it off overdrive and the let your rpm's dictate your speed.
