Hey Gang, Just daydreaming. The rough list I came up with off the top of my head: Transmission :) Mounting hardware Clutch and cylinders Shift cable Shifters Speedo cable Pedal cluster Center console Steering related mechanicals Electrical - wires, sensors, etc Are the shafts interchangeable...

Hey All, Can someone tell me what the heck the puddy biscuits are between sheet metal and gussets in the doors etc? And is there a contemporary substitute? Eric

Hey All, So when I replaced the alternator, and just did the job without learning about the other function of it. What does the alternator have to do with the oil system? I’ve been experiencing some belt squeal in recent days, figured it was time to tighten the alt belt again, check the...

Hey All, So, on to the next item on the list. Both sides have lost the inner wiper gasket for the windows. They rattle like crazy and on the highway don’t close all the way. Amayama Japan is out of stock it seems. Any work arounds? You can see in the attached photo it is ripped out all...

Hey Gang, On to the next… For a little while now the van has been idling in park and neutral at 1200, and 1000 under load. A quick and dirty test to see if it was just mechanical was lifting the pedal up with my foot, and it backs down to 800 or so. So, this seems like a free play issue...

Hey Gang, Searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. What is the model number of the manual transmission used on our Delis? I have a manual out of a Dodge Raider (USDM Montero) that I was wondering if it can be swapped in. It is a V5MT1. Our 4D56's were in the Montero/Pajero, so curious...

Hey All, I installed one of two sliders sourced from Good Karrma. For those of you who have done this, is there also on yours a section of the outer rubber lip (I would say good to a degree keeping water out) trimmed off on the bottom? This is what I found in the process. Looks done by hand...

Hey Folks, Been hearing a whining in the front end for a while. It reminded me of wheel bearing noise. Finally got the bearings out to inspect but they seem fine. Repacked and put it back together and whining still there. To test and remove possibilities, while driving at 2500rpm I drop into...

Hey Gang, Still dealing with charging issues. Installed new alternator, new batteries. Put a voltmeter at the battery with the van running, got -12. Turned off the engine got +12. So not knowing much my brain tells me I have a connection reversed. I look at the alternator and I have the...

Hey Gang. Found that the bottom pivot bolt nut went bye bye at some point. Created slop that eventually broke the bracket. Created squeal, no charging. So issues figured out. But now biggest thing is sourcing a bracket or it’s all dead in the water. Any easy sources? I’m hitting the...

Hello All, I masterfully misplaced my keys. I do have a spare door key though. When I was a Vespa technician and a customer would come in having lost their key, we had a work around for them so they didn't have to plunk down big money to the company for a whole new set up. We would remove the...

Hey All, So about 4 weeks ago would come out to the van (in NYC), try and start it, and two things were happening. It would spark, and the batteries were low enough that it would kill the batteries taking too long to start. So I jumped it. Took it for a drive to charge up. Parked it. Came...

Hey All. Has anyone diy'd a side window similar to, or tried fitting an existing Front Runner Outfitters hinged side window to a L300?

Has anyone outfitted their van with the ARB roller drawers?

Hello All. Wanna get together? Swap parts, swap stories, ideas and methods? I was thinking Rockaway Beach area. Going to reach out to a couple of businesses out there and see if there is interest in hosting to one degree or another. If only just providing a space to hang for a few. I was just...

1992 L300 Hey All, A week ago this showed itself. The shifter wouldn't go into Park, would just get stuck. I eventually got it in. Next day, like nothing happened. Today, got stopped at Park. Lock button works for low drives and reverse no problem. I gently tried to move it forward, and got...

Hi All. I found great posts on the size, removal and wiring issues for headunits, front speakers and side panel speakers, but haven't for anything on the speakers that are above the rear hatch. A guess is that these were part of the karaoke package. Does anyone know or can anyone recommend a...

Hey All, Can the community tell this newbie the best ways to procure rebuilt head, or the shops known for rebuild service? Looking for a place in the Seattle/BC/Vancouver vicinity. Thank you!
