Hi folks, I'm after a bit of info and advice please. Been looking at getting another Deli and have noticed
a lot seem to be petrol version now, my questions are, are they any good for towing and what are they
like for fuel consumption? _________________ Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt. |

My first Delica was diesel, had it for fourteen years awesome machine. I only got rid of it as the underneath was deteriorating, ended up being exported to Gambia. I now have the petrol version and its even better tows well, downside it likes juice had it four years I won't be changing it. _________________ 1998 V6 3000 Black and white |

The later diesels were not as popular over here as the early ones as they made the fuel system electronically monitored for fuel emissions. UK dealers weren't given the diagnostics as it's a JDM (grey import) vehicle, so if your electronics failed they were a pain to fix. Petrol has the advantage that you are less likely to get caught by ULEZones, and with the difference in diesel price, they work out about the same. If you use it a lot, fitting LPG could be a consideration, great if you have a pump near home! By all accounts, the petrol (V6) is very fiddly to work on, even for basics like changing the plugs. _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |
