I have owned 6 delicas in the last 30 years. As per the smoke you may want to make sure the air filter is changed regularly and use a diesel fuel additive to clean the injectors.

Hyundai had another L300 offspring: the H100. Even the Diesel engine is a carbon copy of the original Mitsubishi one. Be it not so good quality as the Mitsubishi motor. Front and rear design differs somewhat. And rear wheel drive only as far as I know. I once owned two, one early one without turbo, the second one had a turbo in order to comply with emission regulations.

Just google mitsi pajero & mitsi starwagon & then look at pictures of delicas. But in relation to your question they arent really close. Strictly speaking the starwagon was not a 4wd & the L300 generally was, in Australia anyway.

We had a similar van in Australia, released as a dealer model, called the Mitsubishi Express. It was also built on the Pajero platform with separate chassis and 2.4l petrol engine. We bought it new as a bare delivery van and had it converted into a pop-top camper. Not the best fuel economy but an awesome little off-roader! There are also quite a few Delicas in Australia but they're private imports.

Driving an old school diesel takes a lot of patience. You cannot drive it like a gasoline engine. If you have a heavy foot it will definitely puff a smoke, diesel engines doesn't like to be floored every time. Try driving it with a light foot on the accelerator pedal. Keep the air filters and the throttle body clean all the time. Black smoke and slow acceleration is a good sign that your engine is starving air.

we call this MITSUBISHI DELICADO in 🇵🇭, from the Cebuano term "delikado" which is Spanish for delicate. the term evolved locally to mean risky or dangerous instead, more like 'Peligroso' in Spanish. this is due to substandard conversion from RHD to LHD by Filipino worksmen who imported these vans from Japan in the 90s and 2000s. still a very capable off roader being a cab forward config. it has superior visibility when tackling non-roads and dense jungles of our tropical country. This used to be our go-to vehicle when I used to work on a mining firm in the Mindanao Island. very special indeed. Sad to see Mitsubishi not anymore an innovative company it once was.

Worked at a van conversion company in mid 80's and the Toyota van had the same type configuration with the engine access under the seat. And it came with an ice maker/cooler in the console. We used to take all the interior out of the vans with the windows and top cut out for the raised roof and we would drive them to lunch for strange looks. The way the Toyota for was made, you could sit in the floor with the seats removed and still drive. Safety first!

Interior layout was the same as the Delica with fold flat seats, electric curtains, separate rear air con and a box in front of the gear lever which could be set to hot/cold/ice (complete with ice cube maker!). Mine had 6 glass roof panels (2 pop up,2 removable and 2 fixed) with blinds, a double din stereo with CD and cassette, and marker lights on the front corners which illuminate the direction of the turn signals.

I have seen dozens of these in British Columbia. They work great on the narrow costal roads.

Have a 92 Pajero with the same motor with the fueling cranked way up as well and still the four way flashers get a workout every time I hit a hill here in the PNW.

Always fancied one myself there are a lot in the UK, and you will see them all over Africa I saw dozens in the ferries going through Malta and then onwards, in fact one helped me when my African Twin clutch disintegrated he towed me for 70miles to the nearest bush mechanic who had several African Twins as parts bikes and it was the first clutch he had ever done. I look now and then but have way too many toys as it is, maybe one day, I should have bought one ten years ago when they were not so expensive.

We worked on one in a shop I used to work at and part of the work was replacing the old engine, the owner had us put in a modern 2.5 turbo diesel that put out double what the old engine did

’Stargazer' is one of the special editions that were available here in Japan back in the nineties. Even the current Delica has a special edition that typically comes out in the winter and is called the 'Chamonix'.

Good video with cool people. I really thought of getting a newer Delica when stationed in Japan, got a Pajero instead. The Delicas were just too big for small Japanese streets if you live in the country or small cities.

First Delica I see in black and that makes it look even better. Very nice car and owner.

@ 8:12 As far as I know, all Mitsubishi Vans and SUVs have the seat foldback feature for sleeping... At least my 2014 Outlander did. I used it many times at rest stops during trips to and from my folks home. I don't know about the new models, but my Outlander also featured a third-row seating, and a hatch and lower gate opening combination to load cargo of any size, or could be used to just sit to enjoy the outdoors while shaded by the hatch acting as a canopy, and even as an umbrella on rainy days, or to comfortably sit on the lower gate to watch a fireworks display. It was such a perfect SUV, and such a joy to have. I never had any problems with it and always performed the maintenance on it right on time. On February 2020 At 140,000 miles I traded it for a brand-new 2021 KIA Seltos, which up to this day has proven to be a phenomenal vehicle, but I miss the Outlander with all the camping features. Some things are not meant to be traded. I still regret it up to this day.

They did have lift kits for those and a model called the Sport Pack which you nearly needed a step ladder to get in . 🤗

In Macau, where my parents were missionaries, they call this type of van (4wd or 2wd) mien bao che (my transliteration) which means "loaf of bread car". So I guess the same as a Buhunka.

Always amazed that people don't talk about the Mazda Bongo in the same way, legitimately the greatest camper in the world! Similar set up to these vans, but larger, with more functions, very comfortable - I've got a 6V 2.5L petrol engine and it's a beast with a fair bit of power

Great Delica! Also cool are the Toyota Hi-Ace and Town-Ace Vans (that also have 4x4 w/turbo diesels and can be set up for camping) and the JDM vehicle I really want is a Toyota Landcruiser Prado with the 3L Intercooled Turbo Diesel, or the rare 1st gen Isuzu Trooper II with the Big Horn Diesel pkg. So many really cool vehicles that we never got, but maybe should have.
