Hello All - I am having the dreaded cold start sputter and smoke until the engine warms up and then it runs great until the engine goes cold again. Typically it only sputters a little until it warms up but we took a trip out to Spokane about a week ago and in Zero Fahrenheit temps it was...

Trying to find an air filter for my 94 L400. This is the list of Air Filters that are on the delicausa parts list - Uni-filter ULT290S Finer filter 333004 / FLT 290S A1312 MR204842 K&N E-2877 But I cannot find anything anywhere that is available. What are you guys doing for Air filters?

Driving the Deli and the oil pressure light came on. Stopped to take a look. Oil is full. Nothing leaking. I just replaced this oil pressure sending gauge. It's not the OEM part. After checking everything and getting back in the Deli, at idle the light is on. With some RPMs the light...

Ive been digging around for a few hours trying to figure out which coolant would best fit the 4M40 engine in the Delica L400. Many different views and suggestions from using the "Blue Asian" antifreeze because it is a Japanese vehicle to the "Green Stuff" because all coolant is pretty much the...

Found a puddle of coolant under the L400 when I went out the other day. Trying to figure out where the leak is coming from. The whole right side of the engine is wet. All the way to the front. Fan and radiator are dry and cannot see any leaks there. Going to pull the intercooler and dig...

Looking to buy a set of injectors and I have a feeling that some injectors may not perform as well as others. Is there a preferred aftermarket make (Bosch?) or manufacturer of rebuilt injectors that you guys go to so you know what you are getting? Thanks! -Sean

This past week I took the kids on a trip up Burley Mt. It's a pretty well serviced gravel/dirt road with a 3500' climb over about 6 miles of gravel/dirt mix. As we got to the top there were sections of snow banks. We plowed through the first couple and then there was one about 24" deep and...

Hey All. i think my Delica is trying to tell me something. When I start up with a cold engine sometimes it will kick like a cylinder isn't firing. It only happens 2 or 3 times in the first 20-30 seconds and then it runs just fine once it warms up a hair. I noticed it only 2 or 3 times this...

Having a heck of a time getting this knuckle back on. No problem getting it off but I cant get the upper ball joint and the lower ball joint into the knuckle at the same time. It is either one or the other. Should I be loosening the lower ball joint where it bolts to the frame? Ill have to...

I pulled off the hubs to replace the rotors and calipers. Cleaned everything up. Repacked the hubs and now going to assemble everything. My question is, how much grease do I need to put inside the hubs? Just a light coat? Or should I be spooning it in there? Is there a spec for the amount...

For those who dont know yet - Google has a phone app that will translate any text from one language to another. It's called "Google Translate". It's not perfect but I have used it many times to translate misc stickers on my vehicle that I otherwise would have no clue what I am looking at...

This one was pretty simple. The gears in the sunroof were not lining up correctly and it made a crunchy noise when you tried to close it. Opening was no problem but the closing part made a horrid sound and then the window would slide in sideways and start making an awful chunky sound. Most of...

Hey All - I am not a professional mechanic but I play one online :p. Last week I dropped my left front side for failure to tighten up the lug nuts. The damage to the left side was the rotor and the lower ball joint ground down as well as the bottom 1/4" of the Spindle/Knuckle assembly. I...

Hello All - Can't thank you all enough for the time and effort spent here. Although it is mostly L300 information it has still been helpful. Maybe there should be a separate board specifically for the L400 group. Anyways - I have been adventuring to find shocks for my 94 L400. It has the...

Was going to clean out the tranny pan and the rear differential today. Once I got underneath and took a good look at it I quickly realized it wasnt going to happen. At least not today. The rear differential cover on the L400 is on the front instead of the rear. Without pulling the...

Does anyone know what the actual part number is or where to get one? Thanks. -Sean

I'm going to swap out the 3 instrument gauges in the center console. I am thinking a GPS based MPH gauge, a temp gauge with Farenheit temps and a digital compass. What 3 gauges would you choose? I've seen some pretty neat customizations to this console (One with 8 gauges) and would like to...
