Almost a Delica owner
Posted: Sat May 17, 2008 11:50 pm
Hi All
Today I just put a deposit down so when the banks are open on tuesday I can go and pick up the Delica that I have just inspected (with a mechanic friend) today. Was pretty impressed with the state of the vehicle (1992 Delica Exceed) and have asked just about all the questions I could think of.
I have been running a VW Passat TD (1993) for four years, but the old beast has just about had it; repairs loading up. Shame as the engine/trans are in good shape overall - but the number of 'odd things' has just stacked up to the point of making it uneconomic for me to try and keep running it.
So the Delica looks like it will meet my family's needs for more space (growing kids), and mine for hauling various stuff around. Also - will be transitioning the vehicle to BioDiesel (the VW has been on a diet of straight home-grown biofuel for over 2 years). So I am interested in anyone's experience with running a Delica on B100.
So - that is it for now. Once I am a complete owner, I will let you know.
Cheers
Don
