    Air escaping or getting into IP via main seal

    Hey all, since I have the IP exposed I figured I should ask this question. If I apply slight pressure with my finger to the IP front shaft I can hear air trying to escape or enter from the seal area. I first noticed this when I did my timing belt putting pressure on the sprocket to adjust the...

    L300 another mystery oil leak on left side.

    So much work on my new van, belts, front oil seals and it repays me with a nice oil leak. Leaving several drops after I park running down the left bar next to the oil pan. Remind me why I got another L300? :) It seems to be dripping down from the AC compressor. I park on a slight incline...

    Road tripping and van is shaking badly upon accelerating

    I’ll make it home but the van has developed a bad shake going from a stand still till I get up to about 60km/hr then smooths out. The steering wheel has a visible vibration upon accelerating ands it’s very disconcerting. Cruising on the highway is just fine. It’s an automatic 4d56 engine...

    4d56 L300 mystery squeak, exhaust leak? Video

    Glow is slow (click)

    Hey all its not serious but lately I'm not getting a first glow plug click until about 20 seconds after I turn key to "ON". I do get a 2nd click shortly after and the van starts just fine. Rewind a week or so and it was instantaneous when I turned key to ON. I always thought the first click...

    Central lock woes

    Hey all I've been chasing a central lock issue with the passenger and rear sliding door not wanting to open up from the drivers side. They will close electronically but only after I've manually unlocked them both. I can hear the subtle "click" of the microswitch on drivers door when I try to...

    Grey smoke after timing belt change

    Hey guys, I just did the timing belt today and it started up fine after the change. But its spitting out grey smoke when I rev the engine instead of the light puffs of black smoke like it did before the belt change. Yes all 3 timing marks line up perfect and my valve clearance is good if that...

    Hello from Vancouver, BC

    Hi all, long time Delica.ca member (North54) and proud owner of now 2 1989 L300's. Managed to snag a nice low mileage (80,000km) 89' L300 a few days ago. It's been sitting for a couple years so I'm doing the usual maintenance to get it up and running top shape. Engine ticks like a fine swiss...

    Throttle adjustment

    Hey all, nice to see many familiar names from the Delica.ca website on this forum! I've been an owner of an 89' P35W for the last 10 years. Alas old rusty is getting on with age/rust and I've managed to acquire another 89' so I'm trying to get the new one running better. Heres the first...
