Hi all. Have a couple of probs with my Terios 1.5 2008 and because dealer is aware it has been "greenlaning", warranty is basically NO.
For a little while now, has been making a weird clickety clackety noise when pulling away COLD,and only seems to do it in 1st and 2nd.???
The other started a couple of days ago and I THINK it is probably wheel bearing.(NSR)
Two questions, 1/ How fiddly is it to do the wheel bearings myself?
2/ ANY idea what this noise is?
I have the car up on blocks at the mo. and if I start her up and put in gear,all the wheels rotate, but at different speeds!!!!!NOW with the N/S wheels off, the front NS HUB is almost impossible to turn by hand,whereas the rear one turns with a bit of effort,as expected.
HEEEEEEEEEEELP
Update; A mate came round to
Update; A mate came round to have a listen/look and lo and behold there's an oil leak which wasn't there a few days ago(done about 50 miles since last post).
Would appear that it's just the transfer box ouput oil seal so::
tried the stealer I got the car from originally, what a waste of time. They eventually came up with what they "thought" MIGHT be the right part and wanted to charge me £43!!!
So I tried PROVEN MOTOR CO in HASLEMERE who USED to be Daihatsu dealers. What a refreshing change - they could not have been more helpful or professional!
Within ten minutes they had emailed me pics and part no's for me to double check - impressive. And £6.11 - got to order from Japan but will be here by monday (today being friday) WOW - RESULT. have to say very impressed with them and it's been a very long time since a dealer impressed me...
