L300 1993 headlights needed

I’m looking for a set of new headlights, left one has a crack, right one has the insides pretty much rotted away from sitting outside somewhere in BC. Would be ok with non DOT as I’m in Oregon. Or a lead on a new set?

Sales Tax on Title Transfer for Private Sales in Canada?

I know this thread is old but maybe it will still help someone. Coming from the US, I bought an L300 in BC from a private party. Seller signed over the ICBC transfer form. US customs at Peace Arch sent me back, citing there was no proof I was the owner now, and wanted me to transfer it in my name wi...

replacement decals

Yup, my thinking too. And cover up some paint chips in the process. Where did these come from? You made them?

Nothing so far...
I got a vinyl cutter at work and a buddy at a sign shop. Looks like I’ll have to do my own design. Time to go crazy!

temp gauge drops to Cold on long climb

Problem solved. The Sender was faulty. I got a new one from Autozone at around US$ 30, swapping it out took about 30 seconds and my gauge is now working fine. The failure mode was interesting- the sensor would work for ten minutes or so, and then give up, and not work for the rest of the day. Now to...

temp gauge drops to Cold on long climb

Phew, wiring is ok. After grounding the red/yellow wire and turning on the ignition, the gauge climbs to HOT in 10 seconds or so.
Guess it is the sender after all.

temp gauge drops to Cold on long climb

The glow plug relay clicks just fine, engine starts in no time at all and runs smoothly, with no smoke and I don’t hear clicks while idling. I suspect that the ECU side is fine and my wiring is just wonky somewhere.

temp gauge drops to Cold on long climb

Thanks Growlerbear! Just as I was driving to Autozone to order the new temp sender, the needle dropped completely to C and doesn't move anymore at all. New probe should be here on Friday. Will go through the troubleshooting steps as outlined. The sender being for both the ECU and the dash gauge, is ...

temp gauge drops to Cold on long climb

So I'm still getting used to all the quirks of my new (to me) 1993 L300 Exceed. It has 205000 km on it, with pretty much everything new in the last year (cylinder head, radiator, transmission, radiator hoses and cap). It runs beautifully and I get 23 mpg with a clean fuel and air filter. I learned o...

replacement decals

My L300 Exceed came pretty bare bones from the previous owner, and is missing all decals. I really like the stock look, so I would love to replace them. I do have a vinyl cutter, so making them up should be easy, but I would need templates. Does anyone have digital versions (Illustrator or any other...

Hello from Portland, Oregon!

Hi, I'm Fabian, and as of yesterday, proud owner of a 1993 Delica L300 Exceed, High Roof. I bought the car on Monday in BC and spent the better part of the day at Peace Arch crossing convincing the US CPB that I could import it. I'll be sharing this harrowing tale soon, but this is the new Members s...
