Glow plugs needed

A little bit of help needed. I am living in Chile and need to replace my glow plugs. But I have been told that either A: I cant buy them here, or B: they are going to be really expensive. Is is there a place I could order some from Canada? How much would they be (before shipping)? Any help would be ...

The Altiplano and well above it! Trip recap from Chile.

Just got back from a long weekend adventure. About a 5.5 hour drive from our home in Iquique, we drove to the National Park Lauca in Northern Chile.

Hi there: I just received my new Delica. Took it out for a drive yesterday, after about 15km, the clutch started slipping under acceleration, then got worse going up hills and finally as I was trying to limp it home and it would hardly accelerate at all.

Es un Lindo Auto!

Hello from the Wheeler family in Northern Chile. Just picked up our 96 Delica (Star Wagon Limited Edition), 2.5l Turbo Diesel with 95,000kms. Straight off the boat from Japan in the tax free zone here in Iquique. Before we can drive it out of the tax free zone (port) it needs to have a "cambio ...
