    Load sensing proportioning valve replacement

    hey @davidw4810, I'm in Germany, so doubt it's gonna be worth the hustle and cost of shipping and import duties. I got mine of amazon and here's a link to the AU product for you: https://www.amazon.com.au/Distributor-Compensator-Temperature-Resistant-Replacement/dp/B0BYFLQW8X/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1

    '95 L300 Camper "Isabella" or "Izzy"

    Hey folks, just wanted to share some pics of my 1995 2wd european L300. It was sold new with a camper conversion by a German company. Camper model is named Isabella, but it also has a sibling model called Big Ben, that has a high roof instead of a pop top. 6 owners, almost 30 years later and...

    US market engine mounts...

    Hey folks, Im in Europe and finding an engine mount is a pain here! For my european P05W, i see the following parts listed: MB436583 and MB436584 and you only get them from abroad, that will cost a fortune in shipping and taxes. Hyundai's 2181143200 and 2181243200 seem to be available here...

    Unknown spare part?

    I think this gear fell out of my engine somewhere. Any advice? ;)

    Where do you hook on for a tow or to get unstuck

    I got stuck on the weekend and was wondering the same thing! Couldn't find anything in the front and felt that pulling by the bull bar wouldn't end well. Luckily, they pulled me out by the hitch. Would love to know the front mounts for the next time.

    Gearbox randomly not shifting into 1st and 2nd gear

    All right, I'll look into clutch replacement. Does anyone knows if clutch kits for 4D56 Pajero would fit or I need to look for L300 specific kits? Thanks @B.Delica, but Im in Germany and that would be one expensive clutch kit with all the duties and shipment from Denver :D

    Gearbox randomly not shifting into 1st and 2nd gear

    Reviving an old thread here. Still riding with van not wanting to shift into 1st gear from neutral most of the time after warm up. And what I noticed: if i give it some throttle in neutral -> crank up the rpms, then the 1st gear slips right in. Can it be my idle is to low?

    Load sensing proportioning valve replacement

    Hey all, digging out this one to give some details, maybe it'll help someone in the future. I have managed to find a good mechanic finally and we got to the root cause: the rear axle was leaking oil on both sides ---> brake pads were soaked and that caused poor braking, nothing to do with the...

    Load sensing proportioning valve replacement

    Thanks for the great insights @Growlerbearnz ! My L300 is a camper, so it always carries quite some load of the camper build. I'll see if I can find somebody who can help me with rebuilding the valve, Im afraid it might be well corroded, my rear axle is rusty. Lurking around the web, I also...

    Load sensing proportioning valve replacement

    Hey smart folks, so my 1995 L300 (P05W) had a leaky brake cylinder in the rear on the left and brakes only worked there for 17%. I gave it to the workshop for repairs and now they are calling me, saying that they replaced the cylinder, but there's still not enough braking power. They claim the...

    Gearbox randomly not shifting into 1st and 2nd gear

    Yep, I tried double clutching with no luck. Now thinking about double clutching, I realise: main problem is actually shifting from neutral; when I shift from other gear, mostly it shifts well. Only after a stop and going into neutral, I can't shift to neither 1st nor 2nd. So I press clutch...

    Gearbox randomly not shifting into 1st and 2nd gear

    Hey folks, recently I became a lucky owner of 1995 L300 with 4D56 engine, manual shifter on the steering column. It has run 241k km by now. I notice that the van often does not want to go into 1st or 2nd gear, but not every time. Usually it happens after it has warmed up. If I force it, it...
