Just wondering what is the most effective battery hold-down system for a double battery L400? Mine (pictured below) comes very close to (i.e. touches) he positive terminals, and I suspect this might have been the cause of my batteries failing on me last weekend...

The 1997 Spacegear Manual at page 34 recommends battery dimensions of 300mm (length), 174mm (width), and 220mm (height). Those dimensions are reasonably close (but not exactly the same as) a Group 24 battery which would be 260mm (length), 173mm (width), and 225mm (height) - see http://www.evdl.org/p...

I ordered 6 half-gallon containers of Stanadyne Performance Formula diesel treatment (enough for 96 fill-ups assuming 4oz per fill-up). Given that I don't expect to be putting on mileage too quickly, I'd like to sell three of the half-gallon containers when they arrive (expected in about a week). My...

I just replaced batteries in my 1994 L400 Super Exceed this past weekend. Mine is a 2-battery (winter package) system, and the batteries that I installed are the Best Buy BB24 obtained from Vancouver Auto Parts (VAP) in Richmond, BC. Replacement ended up being a bit of a hassle, because the first se...

I took possession of my new ride on Friday evening, and have had an absolute blast driving it around over the weekend. After much thought, and input from the kids, decided to name him Sensei Wu (a character who in Lego Ninjago is the equivalent to Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. I haven't taken many ph...

Steven - Delica.ca has benefitted for many years from your expertise, insights and support. I'm sad (and a bit surprised) to learn that you no longer plan to actively participate in this forum. However, I respect your decision on this and would encourage you to drop in once in awhile. Cheers, Mark

Looks like your book has some really cool experiments. I take it that the two "kits" in your photo are what the website describes as "Component Packs 1 and 2"?

Have fun!

As a soon-to-be L400 owner, I've been doing some reading on future maintenance requirements. While every source seems to have a different opinion on what needs to be done and when, the only published "Service Chart" that I was able to find is from D John Pons’ “Users Manual: Mitsubishi Del...

Congratulations on the new wheels nxski (I would suggest that you dress warmly!)

Awesome! (although I have a nagging suspicion that the uncovered lights might run afoul of certain Motor Vehicle Act provisions)

I wanted to extend a Big Thank You to robbieg who has generously spent time to look into (and fix) many of the header errors affecting the Photo Gallery Error (now clicking on the Photo Gallery actually lets us enjoy view great delica photos, rather than error messages!) While robbieg's efforts have...

Sharp looking L400 (those are some serious badass looking wheels!) How many inches of lift?

I was looking into that same question the other day (trying to figure out whether an L400 Super Exceed would fit in my carport). According to Wikipedia, the height of L400 series delica ranges from 1,855–2,070 mm (73.0–81.5 in). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Delica Assuming that the upper ...

Glad to hear that your "transition" from L300 to L400 has been a happy one! I too am in the process of acquiring my first L400 (also with the help of Mardy), and when it arrives I'm looking forward to comparing it to my (former) L300! Cheers,

Mark

Seven years seems like a very long time to spend without a Delica! However, 2006 is the year I parted with my last L300. Happily, my family and I recently decided that we could use a second vehicle, and another Delica ( 1994 L400 Super Exceed this time) seemed like the perfect choice. Thank you to M...
