I am selling my 1992 Delica L300 Exceed Crystal Lite Roof Turbo-Diesel Automatic Transmission for $16,000. I have all maintenance records. I've put $14,000+ of repairs into it, many hours of work, and $1,900 of fresh rubber. New General Grabbers on it right now. I have a full set of snow tires...

sk66, I think you may be on to something. These strange noises started happening about the same time that the "key still in ignition" alarm stopped working. Now, the key in ignition alarm will intermittently sound even with the keys not in the ignition, but it sounds like the speaker is dead /...

Thanks y'all. My hunch was to start playing with the fuse box. I appreciate the confirmation. I'll take a crack at it tomorrow and see where it all goes.

Hey Delica lovers, got a new mystery on my hands. I am getting my L300 ready to sell so I can get an L400 for longer road-tripping. I am fixing up my L300 as much as possible since it is still in great shape / putting on the market, etc. This particular issue has stumped me. The last few...

Woohoo!! Heavy Metal Custom auto in Bellingham pulled through for the win. They removed my worn steering shaft and then welded a sleeve into my newer steering shaft and replaced the bolts locking everything together. The upper portion of the shaft now has over 1/2 inch of bite, and the lower...

So, welding a sleeve into the steering shaft to extend it seems like the first step to alleviate the terrifying sketchiness I have going on.

Sk66, based on what you see going on with my van, can I buy a better lift kit for it? I like the 2inch lift, but it sounds like a 2" true lift is too much for the angles of everything. Are you saying that the better way to go is a 1" lift with 25mm spacers on upper ball joints, which equates to...

Sputnik, thanks for the Beta. I will relay this info to Heavy Metal auto and report back. Good to hear your confirmation that a 2inch lift isn't absurd, nor should be causing this issue. Yeah, this steering issue has been scary and confusing and I am not knowledgeable enough to crack the code...

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for these amazing replies! Incredible community here and so much intelligence. MANY THANKS!!! Snow picture is with 2" lift Other pic is from today, front is now at 1.5" (working on sealing off foot swamp issues) Yes! The steering shaft 1/8" overlap is terrifying...

Hey Delica world, I am looking for help with an issue related to a lift job on my L300. The van came with the lift job from Japan, and Delica USA, the importer I bought it from, has no info about the lift job. The issue I am having is that 1). the steering shaft is worn with lots of play and...

Gorgeous vehicle! I appreciate the offer. What's the price and mileage?

I live in Washington state (Bellingham). I am keen to find a Delica that looks similar to this.

Free for whoever wants to pick them up either in Bellingham or Seattle. These are from my 1992 L300 They are in excellent shape and I have all the bolts / rails that go on along with them. Please email danharm@gmail.com
