#9 fuse is ok. Fan switches at dash and in the rear both light up. I hear a relay under the dash when I turn on either fan switch. I took the wall apart to get into the rear fan controls. No power to the 3 position fan speed control. Cleaned every connection I can get to. I'm thinking now it's...

The fan quit working in the rear. Dash light and rear fan light still come on. I can hear a relay under the dash when the fan switch is toggled on and off. I'm wondering if there is a fuse at the blower motor accessed from the underside of the van. Any expertise with the rear heater would be...

Any chance front mirrors for L300 are on your list? My mirrors themselves are ok, but the frames are totally rotted through.

Thanks, @sk66, I've seen them and they work well, @Krazykraut had them on his rig. I will go that route eventually, but the budget is really tight right now.

Just looking for a used headlight with better reflectors than mine.

I'm looking for a right hand side headlight for a 92' L300. I checked with Coombs and they don't have one in good condition. I have good glass, just need a good housing.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice looking Delica.

Here's a suggestion just in case you're out in the boonies and your ECU changes it's mind on heating the glow plugs. Carry with you a length of heavy duty wire (16 gauge or larger) that you can use to jump from the Positive/+ side of your batteries and the glow plug rail. hold it connected for...

@sk66 thanks for the map. First time I've seen it. Great resource when traveling.

The thermocouple and gauge came in a kit from @Empty42. I made the face plate from a piece of printed circuit board cut to fit the opening. The PC board has a copper foil on the back - easy to solder mounting tabs to the back to hold it in place.

An issue we have to face: These slow poke vans are designed to do the speed limit. We're driving JDM vehicles. From Wikipedia: Statutory speed limit in Japan defaults to 100 km/h (62 mph) for divided national highways and 60 km/h (37 mph) for any other roads, unless otherwise posted.[1] The...

With my experience so far, I wish you good luck. Most body shops seem to be exclusive to collision/insurance repairs. If you mention the word "rust", they will escort you to the door. Your best bet might be going to a local auto parts store, run by someone who's been in business for some years...

I've had the same problem for three weeks. Large circuit drain - dual batteries flat overnight. Still haven't found the source of the power drain. Both batteries tested at 800CA. Alternator charging at 15.5 volts. If I disconnect the fusible link wire for the "Light"circuit @ the fusible link...

I used the space to mount my EGT gauge.

A bedliner coat is definitely the most practical and cost effective. It's made to take a beating - it's not a show car. Keeping it looking clean is important and I think a good carwash brush should work fine. Someone mentioned concerns about moss. Living on the Oregon coast all the vehicles turn...
