Before and after you've gotten your Delica home, you''ll want to be aware of some of the problems to expect. Remember that these vehicles are 15 years old and will require maintenance.
The obvious, of course, is to change ALL the fluids.
The rubber on these vehicle breaks down over time and will all need to replaced as well.
So here you will find basic lists of the engine items to replace;

IMPORTANT! Timing Belt, Balance Belt and Tensioners! If there is no Maintenance info with your vehicle, replace these as soon as possible!! Do Not take a chance!
We also recommend replacing the Water Pump and Thermostat while the timing belt is being done.
*Upper & Lower Rad hoses,
*Alternator, Power steering, AC belts,
*Front Stabilizer bar bushings(Usually broken on most vehicles),
*Engine Mounts (Usually Cracked & Flat),
*Transmission Mounts.

I will try to post images of areas..
