Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Ugh sometimes its the simple things, I missed a positive connection to the new battery (starter connector probably) but happy to say the new plugs fired it right up! We'll see how long they last but I got them for 90 bucks which is fine by me as the OEM ones are hard to find in the states.

thanks

Throwing this out there as I've searched so many threads that I'm lost. Breakdown since last night: I ordered a set of Federal Mogul 12v plugs GP975 only to figure out I have the super quick glow system with 6v green top plugs part number 853. The van has always had a hard time starting in the cold ...

I have opened up the exhaust to a certain extent. I have the stock dump pipe (what I call a downpipe coming from the car tuning world rather than turbo diesel world) which runs into a 2.5in dual tip side exhaust, so a "cat back" exhaust I would say. I think that bottle necks though from 1....

Great info, so we are running the 09B stock, and I'm looking for a bit more power on the highway (with an inch larger tires to help top speed to get to 70mph) and maaaaybe thinking of pulling a small fiberglass trailer like a Scamp or something very light weight would this opiton be better: "No...

Growlerbearnz, you're legit. Okay, all good info to know. Well, I might need to chalk it up to the car gods but all is back to normal. No temp fluctuation or loss of power (the opposite really, I think that k&n filter is doing well) and I've been driving consistently with varied grades and dista...

Well, bit of an update. I drove it all day Sunday and today and no issues. I'm keeping a close eye on the temp gauge and will check to see what normal top rad hose feels like to the supposed high temp reading. I ordered the thermostat first, which should be here next week. Keeping my fingers crossed...

So I checked the coolant and although I thought it to be a bit low, there wasn't very much activity when I had a pool of coolant in a narrow funnel while idling. Topped off the coolant and switched the air filter back to stock then drove around. Temp climbed again and then dropped back down rapidly....

Good to know, well ill check the coolant out here in a few hours, if I'm seeing small bubbles (like pin head sized ones) compared to a rolling boil type am I safe, or still thinking blown head gasket?

I'll report what I find.

Thanks

Yeah I couldn't really find a reason why the filter would cause heating issues, it was just weird that that was the first time it happened and within an hour after the install. I'll check the coolant level today when I get home, I took it to work today and levels were back to normal with the K&N...

Hello all, I hope I'm posting in the right location but I just did a simple air filter swap (part number 4810) on my l300 and went cruising about to test it out. After the engine got to normal operating temps, we felt the heater air get cool on light to normal throttle and thats when I looked at the...

Awesome, thank you!

Does anyone know how to find the Manufactured date for a Delica? They base the 25 year rule on manufactured date rather than model year. I had one guy look at the metal plate on the driver door jamb but that didnt show it, and I guess BC doesn't have titles for these cars?

Thanks
