Good luck. I don't see a fuse????

Did you remove the center cooling tube to change the left side cam seal? I changed the orings there as well. Damn if they didn't leak when I reassembled the left side. It seems that cam seal is subject to more heat than a seal can handle. Maybe a poor design by Mitsu? Seems all the V6 cams...

Hi Andy Is the ford explorer tie rod cheaper? Also from above "I stated to install febest bushings in my rh upper control arm earlier today. " It's been a long time since I changed my Upper control arm bushings but I believe the entire control arm needed changed and the bushing couldn't be...

Still interested in the steering rack? I'll post in the next few days if you're interested? thanks Wayne

I'm hesitant to start that trouble shooting but I'd start by removing your drivers door panel and cleaning up the contacts on the micro switch. The plastic inserts that hold the door on might break in the cold weather. Thats why I suggested waiting but some things are just not possible. PITA...

It's nice looking with a good interior and the price is reasonable. That engine change may be a question but it's worth checking carefully and buying.

Also check tire wear as it's lifted. Many of the lifted delicas have poor tire camber. It shows on the tire wear. Check the tire tread wear across all 4 tires, it should be close from side to side. If not it may be an indication of a problem. Lift both front wheels. Check movement up n...

I really like my V6 but the fuel mileage is a problem in the V6's. Check the amount of soot in the tail pipe. If it is black to the touch it uses excess gas and may need new injectors. It can run very smooth but still burn too much gas. Thats not a big issue but your range decreases to 400...

Delica electrical gremlins like to show up when the weather changes. If you're patient they will disappear. If you're from the west coast, like me, expect that all winter with dampness. If you store in a garage it's not as bad but outdoor storage will let the gremlins in through cracks in the...

Have someone turn your steering wheel one end to the other and listen at the engine. Read my posts under L400/Montero/Pajero Part Compatibility for my steering rack description and price.

Any leaks on your steering rack?

Toooo funny. I have same mysterious noises. It's your power steering pump. Don't worry unless its low on fluid or has leaky hoses. Check for both problems. It can make same noises for decades without being a serious proble. Monitor the problem and keep the fluid level up. Check your...

You can resell it after you use it for a rebuild or just have Randy rebuild yours while it's in his shop. Talk to Randy for his advice I found it better to bring a used rack to him and drive mine while I waited.

MPWhite I have a complete steering rack that I bought years ago to rebuild then change out on my L400. It was a PITA to source parts for , then learn how it works etc and change out. So I bought a used rack from CC autos and installed the rebuilt one. The old one developed real bad leaky...
