WATCH THIS BEFORE BUYING A MITSUBISHI DELICA! (L300 & L400) 

I will watch every l400 video you post, looking to buy one before the end of 2023. All your content is very helpful!

Man, Jesse from breaking bad living his best life. Nice video , thanks!

Delica is one of my dream cars. Spent a few years in asia and saw these all the time and wanted one so bad. Some day... anyways subscribed to keep learning. thanks for these videos!

Series 1 L400s have been implicated in the Takata airbag recall, Here in Australia it has been possible to get the issue fixed under warranty through Mitsubishi Australia...that being said the L400 is safer than the L300 leg crusher.

Love the content. The first generation D5 just become legal to import in Canada and I got one of the first in Canada, less road capability dreaded cvt but overall much easier to source and replace parts

SUPER useful video. Thanks.

Man this is a blast from the past. We imported dozens of these in the late 90's through mid 2000's ,and still alot on the roads here in NZ. Although most are pretty well used now, with many doing over 400,000 km's, which is probably a good indicator to the kind of mileage you can expect You mentioned rising sun out of Canada in your video. I have checked them out over the year's and they seem extremely expensive considering how much they would have paid for them out of Japan. Yes, rust can be a problem in the delica's, and probably more so in the L300's. Upper and lower windshield pillars are probably the most common 'major' areas to look out for, and the most difficult and expensive to repair. The L300 4 cylinder gas engines always seem to have the dreaded cracked cast iron exhaust manifold issue. Which is usually remedied by replacing it with an aftermarket tube header type exhaust setup. The upside is improved performance and fuel economy, although it can increase interior cabin noise. The beauty of both the L3 and L4 variats, is if you want to fit LSD's or lockers they share the same running gear as the Pajero'/shogun models. So most drive train parts should be easily obtained, even in the United States. Nice informative video. Would be interesting to here back to compare current prices between the US and other countries. As a guide, back in around 2000 you could purchase an L400 with around 70,000 miles for about 2k -3k NZD (roughly $1900 Usd) out of Japan. Although as time has moved on, and probably due to the popularity of over landing around the world, it looks like prices are climbing.

Well done video, great info for potential buyers. I have a L300 and love it. Cheers

Thank you! Very helpful video :)

Great presentation Flynn.

Great content!

Brilliant video , just subbed, I am in England and have a 2000 Chamonix Mont Blanc important from Japan. Really good pointers even for the two previous models. The rust is a silent killer ,mine was clean and a year later lots of surface rust, we salt the roads here in the winter so definitely check underneath. Apart from that the vehicles are so practical and great to drive. Keep up the great content.

I drove my last freightliner over the road tractor 650k miles in 3 yrs and never used any additives. Diesel engines especially with mechanical pumps last so long because the oil is in the fuel . Anti gel is only for really cold climates where is below freezing for extended periods . I think your wasting your money on snake oil. In Philly we have a delica dealer .I own subaru powered VW vans but have an itch for a delica but man I hate right hand drive

Great info! Keep up the dope ish.

Need to derust my l300 express so keen to see your video for tips

Liked and subbed, super useful video. Thinking of an L400 diesel for a light adventure vehicle and daily, still have plenty of research to do before I make a decision.

Very useful information .Thank you very much !🙂👍

Useful info Nameless Co! I like JDM Mitsubishi Delica and work on them. I would avoid local heavy off road beat up Delicas vehicles, which most likely will become a money pit or long term project. Also, stay away from random after market tune ups and mods, just get stock and build it for yourself. Cheers!

Se ven chéveres esas máquinas, gran video

Amazing info. I am no way knowledgeable on the mechanical side of things, but your video helped me understand more about what I needed to do and where to start. I was actually considering getting a mini van but when I thought about dirt and places like rivers, I definitely thought of 4x4's and Delica really caught my eye. I love the retro one and I wanna do more of a stealthy camping van and the retro rustic aesthetics so Im glad I found your video. Hope to see more helpful tips about it and I just subscribed so please shed some more light please. Btw im.not from America , (im from the Philippines). And though I wont be able to join your group, Im still gonna support your channel. Who knows, we might grow worldwide for all Delica lovers and those who wants to buy them in the future!! nuff said..Cheers!!

Fam, you're trollin us with that hairline. Right? Great video!

Where can I get a delica looked at and worked on in Ontario Canada Looking at a newer model like 2003 the delica has been my dream vehicle for quite a while. Thank you for all your information and insight

I would love one

Hey thank you for the info! I’m looking into getting a 1996 L400 spacegear exceed. 2.4L 4 cylinder gasoline engine and a 4g64 motor. In this video you said do not get a L400 gasser and I’m just hoping to get your input when it comes to this engine and motor as far as gasoline. Any advice is appreciated, I’m not mechanically inclined at all 🙂

the 6g72 v6 engine in the L400's is almost indestructable. There are quite a few v6 Delica's in australia, and most people rate the v6 very highly. I has power for hills and towing but it could be better. you can upgrade to a 6g74 or 6g75 engine and get alot more power. The ONLY negative is the fuel economy.... its terrible.

Hi, I’m planning to get the l400 because of the cargo space much more better than estima, but is it reliable enough? I saw one l400 but is already stop running for few year. It’s been parked in the garage, I’m worried about the maintenance fee.

L300 has 84 hp L400 has 125 ho or 140 hp after adding electronic for fuel pump control big difference 😊

I found a space gear? Diesel 5 speed do these things last a long time? Meaning like 500,000 like Toyota?

Just flexin the land cruiser in the background...

I have an '05 gasser. All the research I've done suggested the 6g72 was a pretty good, reliable motor, and the diesel was only really worth it if you planned on adding a bunch of weight or camperizing it. Other than that, you're really just paying for "cool factor", which for me, wasn't worth the $10k premium.

Is that a bimmer 2002 in the garage?

Could you please give me an idea what is the difference between the SPACE GEAR and the CHAMONIX MITSHUBISHI DELICA? Thank you...

What are your thoughts on the Hiace, Townace/Liteace, and Nissan caravan? How do they compare to delicas?

I spy a Chamonix 2002 to go with two Chamonix delicas! I'm hoping to soon add a Chamonix or Jasper Delica to go with my Chamonix 02 as well,. You in BC?

Why aren't these imported from left hand drive countries? I have some mental block preventing me from driving a right hand drive, especially a stick.

Can you refer me to mechanics in Southern California for mechanical maintenance of Delicas or Hoaxes ?

Can you put an l400 diesel engine in the l300? It sounds like the l400 engine is better overall

In California people normally drive 70MPH. Will L400 comfortably handle 70MPH on the highway?

My l300 diesel hauls ass. I must have got a good one 😂

I’m not mechanically inclined. Anyone know a good place to buy a Delica that has already been restored?

Im looking for one do you know if can we register it in california??

where do u get parts in Canada?

hey Manitoba?

L400 gassers blow up cos not maintained? If it's common it must be build quality. Can't see many people not maintaining them. Great video
