New member from Manitoba

[Manitoba deli]

Hi everyone, new to this club, although I've been a member on the U.K. site for a number of months. Picked up my 94 L400 super exceed long with crystal lite roof last month from the west coast, what an awsome vehicle. Did all my research on the Delica on the U.K. Delica clubs forum. They are a terrific bunch, very helpful, and extremely friendly. I highly recomend them for any questions you may have. Through them I got an english owners manual, and the complet service manual for both the l300 and l400 on a disk. Also, if there is any information that I can provide to anyone from either of these publications, just let me know.

Hello Md,
the groundwork paid-off then ? you seem very pleased with your new ride, do we get to see a photo or two ?
I am doing pretty much the same as you only, the other way round. I am in the UK looking at the Canadian site as I hope be emigrating next year.
I think I will check out the UK site for one of those discs you acquired.
I also, was thinking along the lines of a LWB 400, keep us posted on how you are getting on with it.
Welcome, Steve.

The ground work definitly paid off. I bought my van from an auction in Japan, and the guys in the U.K. gave me a link to a site with a vehicle number decoder, you type in the chassis number, and it tells you all the specs, and options of the vehicle. Very usefull when looking for particular options. I'll post this link when I have a chance. Had some trouble finding a long van with under 150,000km, but managed to get mine with 102,000km. As for a picture of the van, I'll have to wait for my wife to do that for me, and things are kind of crazy here we have a 2 month old baby girl, and 3 other girls 5 and under. No twins, just 4 girls 5 and under. Somebody save me!
Just kidding, I've truly been blessed.

Hello and welcome to the forum.Congratulations on both the new arrivals!!I have a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old boy and our house is at times enough to drive you crazy!!But would not change anything for the world!!!!
The U.K forum is full of very helpful members and a wealth of information on all things Delica.Just ask around over there and someone will respond.They have years of L400 experience's to draw on.
Hope you are managing to get some sleep!!

Alright a new Manitoba addition. I had a ride in a SWB when vacationing in BC during the summer and sure liked it. I would love to check out your LWB sometime. Where are you located?

Cheers

Here is the link for the model decoder, I think it works for both the l300 and the l400. I wanted to post this in the FAQ section, but I apoligize, I'm computer stupid. If someone could move this to the proper place that would be great.
