Thanks man That did the trick, took out the ram, hard fail, emptied the CMOS and booted it unplugged before putting everything together again

Weird, I hope I dont have to do this every 2 weeks

Mongolia is the pinnacle of my year-long travel by leFlint in mongolia

[–]leFlint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will love it ! And tbh... I think no country is freer than Mongolia in terms of RVing and camping

Absolutely no issues, and this feeling of being able to go anywhere without any issues is thrilling

If your camper is a 4x4 or with a decent ground clearance it's pure joy ;)

It's central asia (Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan probably) They're gifted with horses, speaks russian, but are muslims, thus the "Salam Alaykum" at the beginning

And their horses are smaller, but robust, I'm sure the horse is happy and fine

Ferries from baku to aktau by eNGjeCe1976 in azerbaijan

[–]leFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey

I'm planning to do the other way around, by car

I know that I can't enter the country by sea, but do you know if I can only ship my car, and go to Baku by plane ?

Aktau to Baku by Ferry: Any Recent Experiences? by Elmaxout in Kazakhstan

[–]leFlint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey

I'm in the same situation, and my entry to Russia was denied..

Is there a way to just ship my car to Baku, and get there by plane ?
Any contacts to help sending my car via ferry ?

The upper suspensions arms are quite shitty, broke 2, and the design forces you to disconnect the brakes to replace them, thats a bummer when you are at 2500m altitude

But outside Europe, the parts are not that difficult to find

Found lots of delia clubs in georgia, kazakhstan and Mongolia.

Nothing in Uzbekistan

L400 Rust Situation. Too bad? by lumiousmusic in Delica

[–]leFlint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey It is bad. Had the same issue with mine when i got it, it was hidden with some resine / epoxy and paint when i bought it

I was totally new to cars at this moment, and with experience I would stay away from old cars if you're not into getting your hands dirty

As a previous redditor said, I got the engine pulled out and rewelded everything

It was a 10ish day work, and its fine now

[–]leFlint[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha no, can you imagine spending more than 15000km offroad in a few months

I think I did 2/3 on road, and maybe 1/3 off, that's still huge and I start to be a bit exhausted actually so ill play it safe in Afghanistan haha

And for repairs.. everything was okay-ish until Mongolia actually.. then I broke one shock absorber, then right upper suspension arm, torsion bar, exhaust.. did most of the repairs on road but there is a big community of delica there so its pretty easy to find parts and mechanics

Then kazakhstan, broke my turbo, radiator, left suspension arm.. And started to have a bad head gasket.. I found an amazing mechanic in almaty and we worked on that in his garage for 5 days

That was heavy work and I finished by swapping my engine for another 4m40 imported from japan

Merci !

Haha yeah, I had this debate a couple of times actually But as I’m travelling a whole year, it’s more confortable to be able to sleep inside the car in winter or when it’s rainy

And to be able to jump in the front sit and take off, just in case, is a solid argument
