Re: Dual battery problem?

Okay so I figured out how to change the dual battery Delica and bought two brand new batteries: To uninstall: Remove the cap from the coolant tank/reservoir, set aside Remove the screw holding the COOLANT TANK into place Remove the entire coolant reservoir tank (it just lifts out, there's no connect...

Re: Dual battery problem?

It looks like the previous owner had replaced the batteries prior, with 2 different batteries, same model, different manufacturing dates. My question now is...how do I get the batteries out? I simply can't reach the positive terminals hidden underneath the chasis part of the car, and I can't remove ...

Dual battery problem?

My Delica continues to be the prissy little princess: So lately my car has not been starting properly - I identified it as a battery problem (fail to start, slow chugging of starter, clicking, dim lights, etc.) I can't identify what is causing BOTH (I have dual battery Chamonix) batteries to dischar...

Re: Help? 4d56T replaced glow plugs now it doesn't run properly

Tested the glow plugs, all were fine. In the end, I bought a new set still off ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/4-Diesel-Glow-Plug-Fits-Mitsubishi-Delica-4D56-4D56T-86-5-93-PO5W-P15W-P25W-P35W/121561759410?_trksid=p2060778.c100275.m3474&_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140723144414%26meid%3D56a380fb00a2416...

Re: 1993 Chamonix Rear trunk latch

I managed to fix the problem! I sprayed the internals alternatively with brake cleaner and WD40, and forced the moving parts with a pair of pliers. After about a dozen rinses, the part moved - and after a dozen more, it moved smoothly. The latch was reinstalled without a problem.

Re: Help? 4d56T replaced glow plugs now it doesn't run properly

I can confirm the glow plugs are receiving power, I can't confirm that they're ALL receiving power. I can crank the engine on a moderately cold day (around 10C outside) and nothing happens. After I hold the glow plugs for a few seconds, I crank it again and it catches almost instantly. I may have sh...

Re: Help? 4d56T replaced glow plugs now it doesn't run properly

I've tried holding the button for a little bit longer (about 8s), and the problem persists. The smoke does not reduce at higher RPMS, just goes to a steady cloud instead of puffs. Not running veggie oil, no idea when the last fuel filter change was. I was trying to get the new glow plugs in before t...

Re: New glow plugs, now it starts worse!

I have the same problem, but on the L300. The weirdest part is when I replaced the old glow plugs, the engine still starts and idles super rough (compared to before). Any ideas?

Re: Help? 4d56T replaced glow plugs now it doesn't run properly

Here's the thing though - the previous owner had fitted a manual glow plug switch, meaning that the computer seems to have no part it in it. I may have also concluded that the glow plugs may not be the issue at all, but something I did during the installation? Today, I cranked the engine without usi...

Help? 4d56T replaced glow plugs now it doesn't run properly

So I got these new glow plugs (12V) to replace the old ones (6.5V) on my Delica, a 2.5L 4d56 turbo-diesel. After the replacement, the car starts but idles incredibly rough and puffs white smoke that smells like unburnt fuel. This problem doesn't go away after several minutes of idling (as it usually...

1993 Chamonix Rear trunk latch

The latch seems to be all fouled up and won't hold the trunk closed. Does anyone have a latch they could sell or know any other models that would have the exact same latch? (I'm guessing all of the 3rd gen Delicas will)
