Re: Should I buy this van?

Thanks again - great info. Actually, we initially concluded the first vehicle was a likely a lemon because when we asked the owner questions inspired by your observations, we didn't receive any reply. But since then the owner has sent a photo of the exterior and it doesn't look so bad (logo is due t...

Re: Should I buy this van?

Thanks Big-Bird - you just helped us dodge a lemon.

We've moved on to this one (gas engine):

Do you know of any common issues with these hiace vans?

Thanks for your time - again, a HUGE help, thank you.

Should I buy this van?

I realize this is not a Hiace forum, but being a Delica owner for the past 6 years I trust the opinions I've found here. So... Our trio is looking for a new tour van for the summer (to Moncton NB and back to Vancouver) and came across this: http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/rvs/4988940524.html We a...

Re: Is this possible? LWB Delica question

Thanks for the photos - looks like a sturdy and comfy setup. I tried the inflatable queen on the folded seats in my last delica and would like to try something different. I have yet to find an inflatable mattress that holds its air for longer than a couple of months (especially in changing temperatu...

Re: Is this possible? LWB Delica question

Yes, I would love to see some photos if you have them. I'd love to build a platform just like the one you have set up. Is it fairly simple to construct?

Thanks again :)

Re: Is this possible? LWB Delica question

Thanks Islander20. Are you saying that a queen bed fits when the middle seats have been slid towards the front seats (hence making them 'unsittable')? I'd like to know if the middle seats are on rails like my last (L300) Delica. Also if the middle seats can swivel to face the back. Do the rear seats...

Is this possible? LWB Delica question

Looking at buying a LWB Delica but not sure if it can do the following: We want to put the van's rear seats up against the windows and put a queen mattress on the floor in the back while we ride in the front and middle seats. Is it possible to fit a queen mattress BEHIND the MIDDLE row of seats in a...

A few questions for L400 owners before I purchase

I owned and then sold a 1993 L300 a while ago. I'm considering buying another delica - a newer one (97-99). I have to find answers to a few questions before I do so. I may be moving to Eastern Canada. Are there now shops in/around Ontario/Quebec that will work on Delicas? This is something I didn't ...

Re: smashed side mirror: what would you do?

Thanks Mr. Fibble. I already apologized to the tree I hit. Do you have a contact for any wreckers that might have spare Delica L300 parts?

Re: HELP - Fixing a break fluid leak in VICTORIA ?

Thanks Paul. I will check them out.

Did the brake job they performed involve going in through the dashboard? I ask because I see that this job likely cannot be done from the outside of the vehicle.

Re: HELP - wet on driver's side floor + brake pedal

Yeah - I don't think I will risk driving to Coombs, especially if the job can be done at Island Brakes and Mufflers. Ordering parts from Coombs is a very helpful suggestion. I see also that the L300 equivalent in North America is the Mitsubishi Montero, so maybe I can even get the parts locally. Tha...

Re: HELP - wet on driver's side floor + brake pedal

Thanks Chris. I don't feel comfortable doing this job myself with some NA equivalent parts.
I'm hoping someone can recommend a garage in Victoria that can do the job.
