I think the garage is a great feature ...If I had time to use the forum then go look at other peeps vehciles.
I need to learn about the Deli...
Plus the Garage can't go off topic. _________________ Orfy

Well Marc.........I'm glad you mentioned 'The Garage'! :D
I didn't even know it existed . It must be about the only thing I hadn't clicked on (just missed it somehow)!
I will certainly be spending some time in there!

I also think that the garage is a great addition to this already wonderful place, it is like full service history of my Deli. Plus at a glance you can see how much you have spent on your Delica.
An invaluable resorce of your own and others delicas, the garage is fantastic :D a credit to the mods and admin of this site 8) _________________ The dude 8)

not generally... most people only list modifications there (ie, bigger Tyres, new stereo, CB radio, etc)
generally repairs aren't listed in the garage at all... _________________

Hi,
1992 L300 Exceed, Crystalite Roof, Carbon Grey over Grace Silver.
130K Kilometres, used everyday for work, shops etc. Owned for a month already done two airport runs & short break to Norfolk. Done about 1800km since purchased. Novelty hasn't worn off yet, hope it never does :D
Remedial work done - MPH speedo face, EGR valve plate, wet footwells cured and vibration sound when at cruising speeds sorted (thanks MysteryMachine).
Still to do - want a towbar, maybe new tyres. Nothing really wrong with current ones, but they're old and I like the look of those with white lettering on sidewalls!
No serious probs to mention, but front brakes starting to squeal a little, so new pads on the way.
Cost me £1400 and I think it's a bargain hard to beat - fun, practical and (In my opinion) great looking vehicle.
Deli's ROCK!!! Russ. |

Hi Guys,
VEHICLE TYPE: L400 LWB Royal Exceed 1994 M Reg
ENGINE: 2.8 TURBO DIESEL 4M40
MILEAGE: 122670 KMS used daily for work 30 miles round trip and weekends probably 200 miles average kayaking and body boarding
MAJOR FAILURE: Air Con Compressor Clutch failed (currently sourcing a replacement)
REMEDIAL WORK REQ: replaced switchable 4WD vacuum solenoids and reattached wire where unscrupulous dealer had cut the wire off so that the front lights didn't keep flashing (after I asked him to fix it before I bought it - b*stard)
RECURRING FAULT: hesitant to switch back to 2WD sometimes, but other than that it's generally a dream to drive _________________ Royal Exceed Dark Blue over Grey '94 M Reg - wheel arches, roof spoiler, headlight covers, chrome bullbars/steps, tinted windows. |
