Re: Accident! repair advice?

I chatted with an ICBC agent on the phone today, they haven't done the full assessment yet but she said most likely it will be written off and I should start looking for alternatives :( I hate the thought of it going to the wreckers or sitting in some scrap lot somewhere. It was in such great shape.

Accident! repair advice?

Someone decided to try and beat a light and made a late left turn in front of the Delica as I was driving through an intersection. I've got some pretty serious front end damage to my L400, bull bars bent, bumper panels smashed, one headlight broken and leaking coolant from what I assume is a punctur...

Re: What did you do TO your Delica today?

Anyone had any luck restoring the wind/rain deflectors? Mine are less than transparent. Auto Glym Vinyl & Rubber Care, you can get it at Canadian Tire for around $15. It restores the oils into the vinyl/plastic. Depending on how faded or blued the eaves are you may require two or three applicat...

Re: What did you do TO your Delica today?

I used a heat gun on the rear step and front bull bar plastic. I might try something like plastix or some other kind of treatment for it after to help protect it from UV but I was impressed on how quickly and easily the heat gun worked. Anyone had any luck restoring the wind/rain deflectors? Mine ar...

Re: What did you do TO your Delica today?

The speaker are Alpine E series 6.5". The sound quality is actually pretty impressive the "e series" is their "economical" series, which basically means they can't handle a giant amp. They aren't very deep (no giant magnets) so they fit perfectly on the factory mounts, just ...

L400 turn signal issue

So i'm having a very strange issue with my turn signals. I'd say 60% of the time they work fine, but occasionally they stop blinking and stay solid when I use the indicators. It's very intermittent , I can't seem to fine a pattern to it. It does this on both the left and right side. It seem to only ...

New member from Whistler

I've been checking these forum recently for tips and advice, great resource. I tried the heat gun trick on the faded plastic,...
