Re: Synthetic Oil Questions
I'm running Voll-Synthese Total 5-40 year round. My van starts and runs great all year round.

Re: Re-Usable Oil Filter for Delica/Pajero/Strada and HDJ81
These do look like well made units and I too hate that normal filters can bypass much of your oil without filtering it. My brother and I used to have a similar idea on two 7.3 liter international diesels. The fitlers were mounted remotely but used the same principle for filtering. We found they were...

Re: Plug it in, plug it in!
I had a magnetic heater, better than nothing. Installed a lower rad hose heater, much better. But the best of all is an actual block heater! Well worth the time and money, particularly for those of us that endure real winter temperatures.

Re: Cold starts black smoke Calgary mechanic
If you're okay with a little drive head out to Fuel Automotive on Hwy 1 just East of Strathmore. Doyle Dubois is the owner of this shop and specializes in Diesels. He is completely honest, has reasonable shop rates and will make sure the job is done right. I take everything to him that I can't do my...

Re: Delica hunt is on.
I imported myself through the Yokohama Trading Company then my son got a Pajero through them and then my brother a Delica. All have been better vehicles than we had expected. I would import again to save the $$$ and I found it an enjoyable and not overly complicated process. If you're planning on dr...

Re: oh no... not again...
I'm sure somebody will be interested in buying your Delica..............just nobody from the forum! Let us know what the problem is when you discover it.

Re: oh no... not again...
You've got to be kidding!!!! Did the motor itself sound normal before you shut it down? This seems like a lot of seemingly unrelated problems all at the same time. Are you sure your belts are all there? Power steering is a pretty simple system that should really last the life of a vehicle. Can't ima...

Re: Drove my first Deli today!
Nice looking van, but I agree too much money! You should be able to get something even nicer and fully serviced for that much money. I'm sure you could get a nice 400 too, but then you might as well put big tires on an MPV and pretend your cool! :-D Okay, for all you guys that have sold out and boug...

Re: POLL : Please Vote !
Editing of threads should be handled by moderators. I'm afraid that we may be little biased and not see clearly if allowed to edit our own threads regardless of what part of the forum they are in. Better to just ban those that are not making a positive contribution rather than continually trying to ...

Re: Ready for Winter
At -5 you shouldn't be having those kinds of starting issues. If you can you should get Mardy or other reputable garage to give it a once over and find out what is wrong. We've had a few -10 days and my van starts right up with no black smoke and the engine quits shaking quite soon. (that's not plug...

Re: Radio antenna
I'm assuming that is a used SS exhaust for $100.00.................or just an exhaust tip! If you bought that new from somewhere let us know where, what size and what all is included for $100.00.
Cheers!

Re: Ready for Winter
Synthetic oil yes!!! I makes a huge difference to cold weather starts and must be way better for the engine than trying to lubricate with syrup! I changed to synthetic last year and put a bypass filter on and change the cartridge every few thousand kms. I'm running synthetic year round in my Delica.
