I've said this before, and I'm going to say it again... Having a Delica in Calgary is fun, but trying to get parts and good service is awful, so I'm planning to go on a trip "part mechanic / part family fun" (this is how I'm selling it to my wife) to BC during the May long weekend.
I've had my Deli for maybe 10 months now and I've replaced belts, etc but there are some things I know I need to do:
--> Injection Pump Timing (CVI Mardy Delica Special...)
--> Torsion Bars; check/adjust
As I don't know anything about cars, that's what I think I should do to the van... Thanks to some of the posts here in this great website.
And of course I need the parts that everybody wants:
--> Roof basket
--> Ladder
Plus I'd like to get a part to repair the A/C:
--> "Compressor"
--> "Receiver drier"
So, I'm wondering where's the best place to do this. I am planning to call CVI as I've heard a lot of good comments about them. But what about parts?
And what else should I do/check in the van? I know this is a very open question, but I'm hoping to get suggestions.
Also, what fun activities can I do with the family in Vancouver without a car? Just in case I need to leave the Deli in the mechanic? Can I take a bus from Richmond to Vancouver?
Thx...
