Hello all,

I had my transmission rebuilt (allegedly) about eighteen months ago.

It has started to feel a bit sluggish at gear change and also in second gear I get a short rev just before or after the change, sometimes the revs fluctuate, normally when cold. Could this be a mechanical or electrical fault. The gearbox oil seems fine and I've had a look but could not see anything loose on the box itself.

Does anybody have a manual or link available that could help me out?

HI all Im after a coulpe of bits for my 1991 delica exceed 2.5 TD 4 x 4

Anyone help plz drop me an email to marknico@ntlworld.com

Hi all, can anybody please send me the relevant workshop manual pages on the choke set-up for my L300 van. Its a 1988, Mitsubishi Express, L300, 2.0L, Petrol. Have paid for a service and have bought the van back twice but the choke still dosen't work well when cold, The engine runs fine otherwise. The first start in the morning is difficult but after 10-15 pumps in sets of 5, the engine will start and warm up. The weather is improving now but it can get cold here in Winter and I need the choke to work properly.

Thanks Wishbone. stevengreene78@yahoo.com

Please could someone help me out? i have a L300 1984 4x4 with a 1.8l 4G62 engine, what i am looking for is an exploded view of the front suspension and steering. and a diagram of the vacuum system.

Hi and thanks for reading.

This is my first post so please be patience,we bought a 1982 Mitsubishi L300 colt pioneer motorhome/caravan about a month ago,so we could tour the UK next year but we are having trouble with it overheating and with the help of our local garage have narrowed it down to the thermostat which has been removed and the van is now running great,but with the winter coming we need to replace the thermostat but are having terrible trouble getting hold of one as the vehicle is so old.

Would i have to find a exact replica of this vehicle's thermostat or could a universal thermostat do the job?

The mechanic who is doing the work says he may have trouble getting one as its so old,

oh ist a manual, petrol and has a 1597cc engine

Any advice would be welcome and if any other info is required let me know.

Thanks Andrew..

As the topic states, I am looking for 96-2000 Starwagon workshop manual for my wife's 2.4L 96 Starwagon GLX.
I need to work on a few things nd would appreciate some technical data etc.

Does anytone know where I can either download or buy a copy of a workshop manual for this model?
I have tried searching online, at the car shops etc and had no luck.

Cheers.

Hello,

I'd like to change the contact points of my L300 1.6 from 1983.
Anyone who knows the distance for this kind of vehicle?

And maybe the valve clearance could be interesting too.

Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Can i change a 4-speed column shift gearbox from a 1982 L300 Express van with a 5 speed column shift from a Starwagon of around the same year without too much stuffing around? PLZ HELP!!!

Hi guys, wondering if anyone could help me.......
I drive a 1992 MWB L300 with the 2.4 efi motor.... Driving in traffic the other day, the van suddenly stopped... just like I turned the key off.... At first thought it was fuel, was running low, then thought spark.... Checked the obvious, put fuel in and have purchased a new coil( theiving spare parts guys $100 for a coil!!!) but so far it still isn't going... going to try another computer today and see what happens... Has any one else got any ideas... Would love to hear them....

thinking of upgrading engine to a v6 after wandering around my local wreckers having a look i think it would be quite an easy task any imput would be greatly appreciated as i will be getting a v6 magna to strip very soon cheers Jaede

G'day, can anyone let me know (or point me in the direction) if there are nolathane bushes available for a 2000 (year) 2.4 L400 GLX Starwagon? The standard ones seem pretty soft (as I supoose they are for comfort, but they need replacing anyway) but are they the same as Japanese import delicas, namely, front control arm, front lower wishbones, front anti roll bar (D bushes) and rear trailing arm bushes. I've asked Pedders Suspension (Western Australia) but they just have OEM listing for them and wondered if nolathane's on the delicashop website are the same fitment. Thanks in advance if anyone can help

i have a l300 4x4 which is having a few strange overheating probs, when i turn it over with the radiator cap off it pumps water out the top of the radiator so i compression tested it twice once with rad cap on and once with it off compression was all even both times, i recently changed my inlet manifold due to the old one having a hole in it and i never had any problems apart from water loss with the old manifold so could it be something with the new manifold??? could it be a damaged water pump??? any help greatly appreciated and cheers for the great forum Jaede

Ok, here's my L300 Express, it's the first van and Mitsubishi I've owned, and I love this thing, it may not be the faster or most fuel economical thing on 4 wheels, but it really does have character.

Ok, in this picture you can see my spotlights (thanks guys for the help with the wiring)

Inside from the tailgate, I've installed carpet (just old house carpet) in the back to cut down on road noise, and also to make it a little more comfortable, also some pocket organisers on each side to put things, rubber mat so things don't slide around in the back. Can't see them in photo, but pioneer 6" speakers either side just in front of pocket organisers, not sure on model but they are 170 watt.

I'm soon installing 2 small subs in the back along with an amp and 2 6x9's in the tailgate.

So tell me what you guys think, also things I can do to improve looks, comfort, perfomance (I already have extractors installed) on a budget.

Hi guys,

I bought an L300 express 4WD 3 weeks ago and unfortunately the engine died one week after (The piston is jailed !) , I'm looking for a second hand engine (The 2 liter carby 4G63) for swap, maybe I found one from 83.

Does anyone know if I can install an older or a newer engine (What's the year range for the engine compatibility) ?

And second question what's the price (roughly) for this kind of repair ? (I'm in Perth, Western Australia if anyone know a good mechanic ...)

Thanks a lot for your answer

(Sorry for this english not very good, I'm french not very fluent yet)

Hi, recently bought a 1992 L300 auto, 4G63 engine, it came with a carpet cleaning business. It's dual fuel, gas and petrol, and when it runs it ticks along nicely. However getting it to start is very problematical, that is, on either gas or petrol. I have to use "start ya bastard" or will flatten the battery in turning it over. Then, when it finally starts it roars along at 2000 rpm for quite a while before settling down. I've changed three spark plugs, still wondering how to get to the fourth one at rear of engine, and have replaced the distributer cap and rotor button. I cleaned up the ballast resister leads and battery earths. Now thinking about changing the coil too. Can you kindly offer any advice for easier starting? Is this particular starting problem more likely to be electrical or something to do with the carby? Have tried disconnecting electrical wires leading to the carby in an attempt to bypass the automatic choke being to no avail. Thanks in advance for all your help, cheers, Mark.

Just wondering, I have a 91 MWB Express van 2.0 man. Can I use a 96 SWB 4WD to convert the MWB to 4WD?
I've done a lot of searching and couldn't find anything except that the floor is different on earlier L300's.

hello peoples!

I am from Australia and am trying to find workshop manual for my 96 Express Van with 4d55 engine. Seems to be a weird year as haynes and other manuals seem to be non-existent.

Anywhere i can download a manual as 4d55 seem to be a common engine just not in an express van.

Thanks again

I'm redoing my sound system in my 94 Express, and I'm just wondering what size the stock speakers are, so I can replace them with some better aftermarket ones.

Just got a 1991 2wd L300, Want to lower it and put a set of 17inch rims on it, just want to know how wide a rim can be while clearing suspension and things? I have been looking at a set of 17x7.5 BBS alloys with an offset of 46+... can anyone help me?
thanks

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what model vans/starwagons have a 4.22:1 diff ratio.
Regards, Al

Morning (or evening!) All,

Just discovered this place so i'm new to this forum, as i'm used to being on all of the aircooled VW forums offering and asking for advice from fellow owners. I've just now bought a 1983 L300 fully converted Camper, with 240v Hook Up, cooker, fridge, and the rest, with a Spacemaker roof, making it as much as a 5 berth! Problem is, the wipers have stopped working, and i'm having trouble finding a way to get to the wiper motor from under the dash to investigate. Has anyone got any tips on getting to it? as the current access seems so poor without stripping the heater matrix out to get to it.

Cheers
Dev

I have a 1996 NewZealand new mitsi lancer Gti, They are factory 1.8L non turbo Cyclone engine front wheel drives(for those who dont know),

Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

Hi all, newbie here, considering upgrading the motor on my l300 4x4 !983 4g62.
Not many responses here in the past listings ... there isnt much info on the web. Anyone care to shed light, experiences, advise?

hi can anyone help my A/T LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING, my car is fine on small journeys, but on long ones the car keeps overheating tried everything the hand book says, just wondered if anyone has any idea or is it going to cost a lot to fix thanks for reading from sarah

Hi,

if any of you have read my previous post then you know that I think my auto gearbox is faulty.

I would just like to know why Mitsubishi built the L300 so it would not engage fourth gear (overdrive) when cold. IMO it just damages the engine revving at high RPM's.

Is there any way to bypass this so overdrive will engage when the engine is cold?

Hi,
Van is running rich, I have a workshop manual up to 94 but my carb is a bit different (16 valve head)
It's done 250,000 k and I think the float may need to be lowered.
Know where I can find a PDF or do you have any advice for this carb.
Thanks
Steve

Just aquired a 1998 Express WA walk-through, brilliant van, just I have no overdrive. The dash light does not come up and neither does the 'D' drive light. The car runs fine, trans works fine. Checked the O/D switch, dash lights, connectors and still nothing. If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it.

Hi guys,

I was going to replace the stereo in my van with a Kenwood KDC-MP239 or MP245, I've seen them on special offer.

Has anyone bought these and what do you think of them?

Is the replacement a straight forward swap i.e. no problems with wiring or fitting?

Hi,
My van is a 1996 2.0L petrol, right hand drive with a 5 speed manual gearbox. (Model PO3V) Recently I have been having a problem selecting reverse gear, all forward gears are fine, could it be the lack of gearbox oil? If so I can see a 17mm bolt on the side of the gearbox, is this the top up plug because it won't shift using a wrench and I am concerned that I may be doing some damage.
Any advice is welcome.
Many thanks.

Does anyone know what motors/gearboxes fit the 1985 l300 4x4 preferably desiel something like the 4D56

Got 85 L300 4x4 with suspect busted gear box but I'm no mechanic. Basically, took it for hour's drive on highway other day & it was slipping out of 5th when I took my foot off accel. Then, next day, I had real trouble shifting into any gear at all. I managed to get 1st, 4th to get home. I got underneath and noticed that most linkages were worn but nothing appears broken. The clutch sensitive point isn't near floor, so I've assumed it's not that. Though can shift through all gears when engine off, not on. Never topped up gear fluids (as I don't know how or even that I might’ve needed to until recently), leading me to suspect the gear box? Can you confirm? If so, any idea how much it might cost for new one? used? hours labour? I'm reasonably handy and not afraid to get my hands dirty - is it too complex to do myself? Is it possible to recondition one of these oneself? Worth trouble? Any guides/resources online? Does anyone have a workshop manual for one of these I could get a few pages scanned from? May help to know was running rough, mate set idle too high as it had tendency to stall, which left it running on after you turned off ignition and requiring gear stall to turn off, please help thx. I know many would just get another vehicle but I’ve been through a lot with this one and become somewhat emotionally attached – It’s been my best vehicle over 20 years of driving and many tried!

Gday All,

I have just purchased a 1991 2ltr Starwagon and have found it to be using 20 litres per 100 klms around town.

This seems an excessive amount to me. Timing is correct and compression test is excellent. I am not certain that the vaccum lines are all routed correctly and cant seem to figure that bit out. Van runs fine but misses at idle.

Can anyone recommend a solution to this problem ? Has anyone tried the Holley exchange that is being sold on Ebay?

Or can anyone recommend a reputable carby rebuilder in Brisbane ?

Thanks for any help.

I'm just wondering what would be the best way to wire up a pair of spotlights on a 94 L300 Express. I want to have them so that they come on with high beams, but can be switched off independently.

I was thinking something like this. But not sure if it's the best, and easiest way to go about it.
[attachment=10519:spotligh...chematic.jpg]


Any help is greatly appreciated. And Thank You all in advance.

Hi,
I have a 85 L300 4WD and a 91 SH L300 van. I understand that these two engines are bolt up exchangable to belhousing and have same cluth.
Can anyone tell me if the later WA, Starwagon and L300 2.4i (97kw) shares the same clutch and belhousing.
My 85 could use an increase in torque and the 2.4I would probably be just the ticket.
Thanks, Al

Hi there Comper100. Thank you so much for the wiring diagram. Although 3 of the wires were different in color codes from the actual control unit I have, I managed to figure it out. This worked out really well. Thank you very much for your help.
