    Crystal Lite Blinds - Left Side

    I have two functional crystal lite blinds (Left Rear, Left Front) that I thought I'd see if anyone is interested in before I modify them and delete the motors because I want to install a roof fan / no point in only have two functional. $300 CAD for the pair? Located in Victoria BC. They seem...

    Weak Blower Motor OR Removing the Front AC Evaporator Cooling Unit

    Inspired by this long-time-ago thread on MDOCUK I removed my front evaporator today. Instead of fabricating a new ducting system I simply removed my dirt clogged evaporator and reinstalled the cooling unit box empty (with a few holes plugged with duct tape) and some duct tape over the rubber...

    Frame Rust above rear bump stops

    I got a couple of rust holes in my frame where the extra layers of metal from the rear upper bump stops attach to the frame rail. I was preparing to paint the area, but decided to do the proper thing and tap it lightly with a hammer which resulted in the holes and a bunch of rust flakes that I...

I hear a mechanism doing something (or malfunctioning) when operated, but no idea what it actually does. I've scraped myself pretty bad on it before was thinking...

    Running the engine without crank pulley (diagnostic)

    I'm wondering if it's possible to run the engine without the crank pulley to verify that I have my timing belt tension correct before going through the process of re-installing the lower timing cover, crank pulley, etc. Of course I will verify timing by hand with the usual precautions first of...

    Over-torqued Tie Rod End

    I torqued my outer tie rod end to 66 ft-lb (spec is ~30 ft-lb). I was re-assembling things after removing my CV axle and had the torque spec mixed up with the brake caliper bolts. By the time I realized it was too late. Backed off a bit and installed the cotter pin ... Wonder if I should...

    Separating the Steering Knuckle from Front Hub Assembly

    I'm trying to figure out what I'm getting myself into before I attempt to separate my Steering Knuckle and Front Hub(s). I'm looking to access this needle bearing (3) and also mostly to clean out parts and replace with fresh grease along the way. I also assume it might be worth replacing the oil...

    L300 Rear/Middle seat options ...

    Does anyone have any idea if the rear seat that is EITHER a two-seat bench (with a little flip down third), or a pair of captains chairs is interchangeable insofar as the mouting points on the frame/floor? I'm fairly certain the captain's chair sliders would need removed, but are the leftover...

    Mystery electrical connector

    I'm digging around my dash to wire a boost gauge, clean up my cigarette lighter/12v charging source, and add a glow plug indicator light. I've been wondering about this disconnected connector in the area behind my throttle switch. There was some work in this area by the previous owner where...

    What's up with upper ball joint grease zerk / nipples

    The OEM diagram shows a grease nipple on the upper ball joint. I have a set of OEM original part number complete control arms (MB598547/MB598548; included upper ball joints pre-installed) that I ordered through Amayama where the parts diagram shows a grease nipple; however they came fitted...

    Oil Strainer Gasket (MD183240 / MD149368)

    I messed up good and the nozzle off my air compressor blow gun blew down into my oil pan because I was using it to blow out oil galleries. It's non-ferrous and no luck using a retrieval tool so I begun the process of removing my oil pan. What a mess, but alas don't want to risk that tube of...

    Glow Plug Bulge

    The two glow plugs on the right are bulging on the body right before the element … They were easy enough to remove, but are these compromised? I may have left a manual switch on for several minutes before I replaced it with a push button, but even after that they started van fine this past...

    Piston Crown Damage

    Any ideas on the probable cause for these inward bends on the edges of my piston crowns (#1 & #4, #2 & #3 are looking fine in relation). I've tried googling other images, but not seeing anything similar. 1992 L300 4D56T.

    AC pulley delete (off crankshaft pulley damper)

    I'm wondering if leaving the AC pulley off the Harmonic Balancer/Damper Pulley/Crankshaft Pulley (MD110165 / Hyundai part #23124-42001 ) is likely to cause ill effects. If the weight of the extra pulley has an effect on engine harmonics and/or if the crankshaft bolt would need a thicker washer...

    EGR gasket

    I’m Preparing to install an EGR blanking plate. I feel it might be risky to attempt to remove these (likely seized) as they appear to be in usable condition, but without them removed it’s going to be challenging to get it much cleaner … Pretty sure I managed to remove most/all of the old gasket...

    Surface preparation - Cylinder Head (Abrasives?)

    I'm wondering if anyone here has suggestions / opinions on prepping surfaces for head gaskets in particular, but I also feel it's relative to other surfaces such as the rocker / valve cover, halfmoon bore ... even the water pump, intake/exhause, turbo, and other surfaces. Pretty sure my old EGR...

    Coolant at the back of head

    Unfortunately I have some coolant leaking (or collecting) at the rear of engine where the cylinder head and block meet (via head gasket). It's a little more green in real life with my eyes, but just under the shiny(ish) aluminum head there is a drip. 1992 L300 Delica 4D56T -cylinder head &...

    Replacing Universal Joints on Front Propshaft

    I read the L300 propshaft manual and it suggests to drain fluid prior to removing the propshaft(s). I’m preparing to replace FRONT u-joints here. I’m wondering if it’s necessary to drain transfer case oil or is there another method to keeping the fluid in the case such as putting the front of...

    Replaced Fuel Filter & Primer Pump - Air entering fuel after bleeding?

    I replaced my original primer pump because it appeared to be leaking a bit at the top of the spring that goes to the plunger. I was due for a fuel filter change also so figured I'd replace the whole unit including new 5/16 (7.9mm) fuel hose. I used Hyundai Part 3197043251 which is fairly...

    Odometer gear

    Anyone ever fix an L300 odometer by swapping gears inside the dash cluster? Any part #? I replaced my speedometer cable which fixed trip odometer, but not the main one. Makes keeping track of mileage for fluid changes a pain! Hoping to have parts on hand before taking things apart, but upon...
