    Steering wheel wobble after brake upgrade. Delica/Pajero

    I have a 1993 Pajero with non-ABS brakes. The same brakes as a Delica L300. I upgraded to the larger Montero rotors, calipers, and pads. I managed to source OEM dust shields so I didn't have to cut anything. Even put in a set of B-line performance steel braided brake lines for fun. Looks clean...

    Clunking, jerky steering after replacing rack and pinion rubber boot??

    '89 L300 diesel A few weeks ago I noticed the rubber boot covering where the tie rod goes into the steering rack was ripped. Parked van until I had time to work on it as I didn't want to get water and grime into the steering rack. Fast forward two weeks later. Time to wrench. Undo the outer...

    Alternator needed!

    2 months I had the alternator go out on my '92 L300. The pully bolt somehow worked itself loose and spun on the shaft grinding it away. Had a couple of places look at it and they said it wasn't rebuildable. Up until that point, it worked fantastic. Thus began the ordeal I find myself in now. I...

    Turbo replacement options

    My old turbo ('92 4D56) is getting really worn so I decided it's time for a replacement. Would a TD04L-11TK CHRA for a SAAB work in the OEM compressor and turbine housings? Link to said CHRA below...

    Droning noise from rear/van keeps eating ujoints

    About 9 months ago I noticed a booming/low drone emanating from the rear area of the van. One day, that drone was accompanied by intense vibration. I pulled over and inspected and saw that my ujoint on the rear driveline connecting to the diff had broken. Thankfully the driveline did not flail...

    water pump coolant leak

    Two months ago I replaced timing belts and water pumps on my diesel l300. After two issue-free months, the water pump has developed a pretty decent leak around the bypass pipe where it interfaces with the water pump. To fix this would mean take everything apart but hopefully you guys have better...

    Rear fan only works when front button is pressed halfway

    I've been troubleshooting my rear fan and realized the system works if I push the switch by the driver in halfway and hold it. If I go past halfway to where the switch clicks into place, the fan shuts off. Thinking it was the switch, I swapped the suspect unit out for one I knew worked. The...

    Timing belt frayed along edges after first start

    Maybe I'm being paranoid here. But after replacing my timing belt I started and ran the van for 10 seconds. Ran fantastic. Came back the next day and looked at the belts and noticed what I think is fraying along the edges. Brand new OEM belts. Car was running for about 10 seconds. Am I being...

    Timing belt part number mess

    I am currently changing the timing belt on my 1989 l300 Delica. The old balance belt I pulled off is an OEM MD310484, which after some digging revealed itself to be the wrong part number. This belt that the previous owner was running was meant for a post 04/93 delica. Mine was build summer of...

    Timing belt identification: pre-04/'93 engine vs post-04/'93

    Admin: TL;DR: Deliman9000 is surprised to find a newer engine in his old Delica, identified by the timing belt shape and water-cooled turbo. Posts lightly edited for the FAQ. I am currently changing the timing belt on my 1989 l300 Delica. The old balance belt I pulled off is an OEM MD310484...

    Crank pulley bolt removal - manual

    I am having a hell of a time removing the crank pulley bolt on my '89 Delica, 4d56. I have an allen key wedged into the flywheel to keep the engine from rotating. I have tried a breaker bar (didn't move the bolt just flexed until the socket shattered), small impact gun (did nothing), and soaking...

    Tachometer fix

    My tach works intermittently but sits at 0rpm most of the time. I've wiggled the cable on the back of the IP which causes the tach to work properly for a few hours before the plug becomes loose again and the needle stays at 0rpm. Any solutions for keeping the plug in?

    Starter freewheeling

    I just replaced the starter in my '92 L300. Occasionally (every 20th start or so) the starter would spin up but not engage with the flywheel making a god awful whirring noise. Now, with my new starter, the thing will spin up and not engage the flywheel on every other start. I checked my...

    Running lights turn on randomly. Haunted Delica??

    Weird issue here. Sometimes at night, I go outside to find that the running lights on the Delica have turned themselves on despite leaving the car with the lights off. A quick cycle of the headlight knob turns them back off again. Sometimes I will go to switch the lights off and have to rotate...

    Coolant Bleeding woes

    Hi All Swapped out the radiator on my '92 L300 for a new Hyundai one from rising sun. Went to fill the radiator up and poured with the engine off until the coolant stopped going down in the funnel. I started the engine up and ran it with the heater on. The coolant level in the funnel went down...
