1996 Mitsubishi Delica Jasper 8 seater 2.8 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

I've got the Deli Bug! Brilliant cars

Faults:

When I first bought the car it struggled for power until the turbo kicked in. Solved the problem with a screw by blocking up the vacuum hose to the EGR valve, drove fantastic once I did this 30 second fix. Cost about 1 penny for the screw.

General Comments:

I love this car. The 8 seats are extremely useful, it can be a people transporter, load carrier, or a camper with the double bed. So much space absolutely ideal for a family day out.

Proper 4x4 off road ability. Permanent 4x4 available for road use with the lockable centre diff for proper off road use. Really tall (taller then most other 4x4s) great for visibility but watch out for car park height restrictions.

Fuel consumption is quite high but I don't think above average for a 4x4, especially due to its extra practicality of the 8 seats.

Overall, very practical multi-multi purpose vehicle. Very reliable.

Bring on the summer for spur of the moment camping trips in the Delica.

1996 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix 2.8 turbo Doesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Best MPV available

Faults:

No faults have become apparent.

Bit too tall for most car parks at 2.07 metres (6'11"?) High, but there are always other places to park.

Mpg is not great at 22-25 but hey it is a 2.8 Turbo diesel and weighs 2 tonnes.

General Comments:

What a great MPV.

After 5000 Miles still raises a smile just with the sheer enjoyment of driving what has to be the most comfortable car I have ever owned.

Proper 4wd box has been great as I drive on Sand occasionally.

Internal equipment and comfort is excellent.

Yep, Had same problem, turned out to be a bypass valve on the turbo sticking open- the effect it has is to make the engine a non turbo and kill the power levels. If you get a decent mechanic to clean this waste gate valve, the valve will work again and the van will be transformed. Hope this helps.

1996 Mitsubishi Delica Exceed 2.8td from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A great all rounder, with serious practicality

Faults:

Nothing has faltered with the car at all!

General Comments:

This car has been absolutely faultless. I can only sing it's praises. As a family we have travelled to France on a camping trip, and it went without fault returning about 30mpg. Already we have planned next year's trip, and are also planning to use a side awning for camping because of the vehicles diversity as a camper. In my opinion, an excellent car, and already friends of mine are investing in one. One of the most practical mpv's with 4x4 practicality.

I have had one of these cars over a year now. I have been driving over 15 years and have had many cars and vans. It's an M reg that cost me just under £4000, and I have had no problems. It's one of the best cars I have bought.

Cozza.
