Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

alright fellas... plans have changed. so i stopped at the shop in sudbury and they're not too keen on taking anything apart for me for anything other than a handsome fee. towing it elsewhere is financially unfeasible. I have to get to whitecourt for more work and i can't do anything more from here i...

well just heard back from the shop i had my van at. turns out my engine is toast... either a cracked block situation or a blown gasket. in either case i can't drive her home. it seems i'll have to part with it at a salvage yard in sudbury.

thanks for all your help guys.

i was gonna ask this in my last reply, but do you guys know of a particular shop that might be interested in taking the van off my hands for salvage?

yeah i'm definately not going to just scrap it. aside from the glass and the panels i think its in great condition. I just wished i had purchased the comprehensive insurance... i was planning on doing so once i got back to bc before i took it south to baja california. in any case. I have to finish t...

hey thanks for the kind words and advice guys... i didn't think the glass could be replaced. and to be honest, i doubt i can afford the body work. I'm just going to change the fluids and get it home with some plastic sheeting covering the broken windows. Do you guys think there will be much demand i...

hey guys. about 20 hours ago i flipped my van onto the driver side on a logging road in northern ontario... i failed to negotiate a sharp turn on a downhill and the car's back end slid out and when it was about to come to a halt, i tipped on the side. I made it out with just some cuts and a sore arm...

hey just noticed i've lost my left headlight.
just the lowbeam running light. my highbeam still works on that side.

was wondering if anyone knew which light i could buy and where i could find it. ie crappy tire or someplace more specialized.

all the best

faraz.

thanks for all the replies guys. I actually made it back to toronto with no problems. I had my turbo looked at in edmonton by a specialized shop and they told me my turbo was in good mechanical condition and they weren't able to pin point the problem. In any case i think its actually gotten better. ...

hey thanks the replies fellas. I did some further investigating. My belts look like they are in good. shape. I rev'd the van right up to 4000 rpms in neutral and i didn't the noise i was describing. It seems to happen only when in gear as the rpms go higher. I'm slated to drive to toronto tomorrow a...

hey guys. i just bought a 91 super exceed l300 this march. did me well in a whole season of treeplanting across bc and alberta. lately i've been noticing a whizzing sort of sound that gets faster and louder as i accelerate. I suspect its something to do with my turbo. does anyone have any ideas on h...
