1996 Mitsubishi Delica Jasper 8 seater review from UK and Ireland
"I've got the Deli Bug! Brilliant cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
