could anyone tell me if alloys from a shogun would fit my Deli L400 as the alloys fitted on my Deli are not standard and don't look that good, plus it hard to get the wrench on the wheel nuts. Also i have recently changed the fuel filter and noticed a hose coming from the bottom of the filter but the other end is not fitted to anything is this right or should it be fitted to something. thanks Question

The hose coming from the bottom of the filter is, I beleive, for the draining of water from the filter (someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure.

I think that the Shogun/Pajero wheels will fit the Deli but I'm not sure of the offset, if indeed there is any!

Hope that helps

Standard Pajero/shogun wheels from a similar age will fit. .... But the tyres are rather wider on a paj/shog, normally 265 section so they will rub slightly which requires a small amount of cutting of the inner arch plastic panels and maybe flattening the seam towards the rear of the arch and possibly the mudguard. An alternative is to replace tyres with a narrower section EG: 255 or 245 section tyre.

as BigBlue posted, standard mitsi wheels will fit

standard wheels on a narrow-body pre-2000 Shoggy/Pajero are 6" width but the vast majority are wide-bodied with 7" width rims and 265/70/15 or 31x10.5 R15 tyres

if you already have a good set of 235/75/15 or 30x9.5 R15 tyres you can get them fitted to the Shoggy/Paj rims and have the clearance worries

Does the radiator expansion tank push water out if you slightly overfill and level itself because after a run i sometimes see water dripping from under the bottle

... or could the water be coming from condensation on the air-con unit?
