Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hi, I use furnace oil in my Delica and other diesel engines almost exclusively. I live in the NWT...in our small town the road diesel and the home heating oil come into town in the same tank truck. Some is pumped into the home heating oil storage tank and then delivered at $.80/litre and some is pum...

I live in Ft. Smith....big beautiful Slave River (rapids), Wood Buffalo Park, whooping cranes, pelicans, bison..... I'm doing ok with the engine removal and seem to have located several engines if I need them and parts for a rebuild. Except for the trauma of the event and all of the time spent on it...

The repair manual I am using is a Peter Russek from Great Britain. Are there others? The engine is listed in the CC Autos parts pages and it is for a complete engine with all parts, not for a short block. As is is the weekend I have not had a chance to discuss the engine and price with them. There a...

Thanks for the information and opinions. I have now located a Mitsubishi engine with the assistance members of this board, so the Ford Ranger issue is no longer a concern. I cannot tell you how much the information on this board has helped me out through this. My Repair Guide is somewhat 'minimal&qu...

Hi. A Mitsubishi mechanic has suggested that..in lieu of an expensive and difficult to obtain Mitsubishi 4D56T engine replacement in my dead Delica..that I could use an engine from a Ford Ranger-Year '82-87 which used a Mitusubishi Turbo charged in line four cylinder engine...4D55. The 4D55 engine p...

I am currently about 80% into the engine removal. My little technical booklet is very sketchy about some of the proceedures so it is taking a lot more time that I anticipated, but, if it ever stops raining...maybe tomorrow it will be out and ready to send off. It is a great learning experience. Info...

Thanks for the condolences. I will be starting the head removal/diagnostic tomorrow with the removal of the drivers seat and access panel. I don't really like doing this kind of stuff, but have no choice right here and now. When we bought the Delica, we thought we were moving to a place that is real...

My beautiful Deli is dead! http://www.delica.ca/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=9# It was those exposed water hoses to the rear heater box that got me. Why, oh Why didn't I put a plate over them or bury them in a piece of piping when I first noticed how vulnerable they are????...and now its too la...

I have read elsewhere that the auto transmission version gives higher speed and better highway mileage, but like the previous poster I learned years ago to slow down and enjoy the ride...so 90km/hr is top speed in our Deli as well. Its easier on fuel (hugely), one has time to steer around the pothol...

Hi, My first post. :-D Have owned and used a Delica L-300 for about a year now. 30,000.00 trouble free km. logged...twice across Canada and back...Ottawa to NWT. We really like this vehicle-very good for here. I live in NT most of the time-long time northern person. I have been lurking on this site ...
