New to Delicas and trading up!

Hi Guys, we all had similar debates before buying. I have L300, but driven friends 400s. Having led dozens of delica group camping trips, here's my take. Diesel is perfect, but reluctant to start in cold weather unless plugged in to electric for half hr prior to starting ... snow camping when alone ...

Re: WTB L300 ECU - Motherboard

They can just look at the board, instantly see which component is bubbled and burnt, then look at that part for a product code, and solder in a replacement part. Lau...
