So here we are, heading back another (!!) 4K miles, from east to west this time around. Long story there... and even longer trip, haha! I'll post fun pics elsewhere... we're taking Route 66, and the van has had tons of waves already in its direction :) Unfortunately, the A/C gave out right...

The van did so well for our whole long cross-country trip, right up until the last 4 hours! Here are the symptoms, and they're serious I think. Note that we traveled 6,910 km in total over a couple of weeks, and traversed many hills, while towing a relatively light trailer (about 500 pounds...

This little van has always started up so well. Then again, we've lived on the west coast where temperatures just seem less wild than other places in the country. Our problems started the day after it got down to 21 degrees, with ice crystals coating the van that night and early morning. Even...

I was reading @sk66 ’s latest post on rebuilding the alternator (in case I ever need to consider that!), and I noticed he referenced removing the “engine stone shield/bash plate”. I happened to be under the front of my van this morning, wondering what would happen if a rock bounced up in there...

I'm not sure the words to use... but this noise seems to have become more prominent and consistent over a month or two. Happens while driving at any speed, as well as having my foot on the brake while still in Drive. I feel like it's coming from the driver's side, I hear it very obviously near...

Interested in trying out 4WD capabilities soon, but not sure where to go in the Bay Area. Marin headlands (north of the Bay) sound like one possibility. Anyone have experience with any places around the Bay Area (especially south of the Bay) that would be easy for a non-lifted Delica (fairly...

I've been lurking here for some time, but it seemed a good time to introduce my little van, which is now feeling and sounding much better than when it first came to me (thanks to a diesel mechanic in Campbell, CA that I've added to the map). I didn't quite set out to be a Delica owner, but I've...
