Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

I'm about to embark on a multi week road trip thru southern BC and Alberta. I came to realize I do not have a tire iron or jack.. Looking for recommendations for a jack I can bring along incase I get a flat. Thanks folks. (stock 1991 l300)

Just checking- you're looking in the left rear pillar,...

Wow, thanks! That was super helpful.

I hadn't checked the rubber boot area so I'll look there tomorrow. And the tip about the tailgate switch is also a good lead.

Anyone have any opinions on if ICBC will write this off if the frame and bar/light mounts are irreparable? Huenink I will PM you. Rising Sun suggested i used B&M collision in Burnaby who knows Delicas.

Also - see my post to follow as I'll likely have some unique L300 modifications up for grab...

Hi, I do remember, when I was a Vanagon Owner that there was a list of the Garages/Repaired Centers, Main Parts distributors all across NA (i think) that was made by the owners so that if you travel, you can go to these places and have a Mechanic that knows or will be willing to work on your Van....

I don't know of a Delica D4. I have seen D5 (the current, square Delica, not sold in Canada yet), D2 (Suzuki wagon-R) and D3 (Nissan NV200).

Do you have a link to a picture of a D4?

Great. I'll start with the easy ones and stay on the hunt for the cross member bushings. I found a lead to what looks like a Russian website.

Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how I do with the search.

Tim Hey Tim, I'm from Dana Point as well. Living up in SF at the moment and rarely back in...

It's the screws with the big arrows in the diagrams. They're 10mm hexagonal head screws with a phillips slot in the end. They're tricky to see if you have the brush bar on, but the plastic surround is cut out around them. one screw adjusts up and down, the other side to side.

Nice! Diagrams, part numbers, and application dates all in one place!

That sounds like a good place to start. Not too many L300s have a glow plug light, most of the JDM models had the super-quick glow plugs which just make clicking noises.

It’s got dual sliding Doors and a 6 speed manual transmission
Everything else is what you would expect!

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!

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.

Ive had my newly acquired 2002 V6 for the better part of a month now. Picked it up in Abbotsford and drove it home to Winnipeg. Ive done a few camping trips in that time as well. I slowed down to 100Km from 120Km on the Coquihalla, I didn't want to push it. On the flats or on the prairies it easily...

Update: this is still a go. Very hard to find a car/welding fabrication mechanic near Vancouver who is available. Currently scheduled to be done with Classic Customs on Clark in Vancouver near the end of September. I'll post pics of the final project when all done and be available if anyone else...

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.
