My Daihatsu

Charade SL

Hi All, just bought a new Silver Daihatsu Charade SL for my wife Jackie, my car is a Smart Passion. Not seen many of these Daihatsu's about so far, have many been sold?

We had previously a Daihatsu Charade 1.3 1996 P reg and Jackie had it for seven years, no problems except for a new clutch.

We are taking our new car for it's first long run tomorrow and note from the manual that you should not exceed 55mph for the first 1,000 miles not mentioned by the dealer!! They do not seem to state running in periods very much these days unless you ask.

Radio is a bit naff it is a Clarion and in strong sunlight you cannot see the display. Only one parcel shelf cord, even though there are facilities for two i.e. cord hole in shelf and clip location mount on the tailgate.

Newbie says hello.

Hi folks
Just throwin' my hat into the ring, can I have it back please?
Mine is a Fourtrak TDX, approx five years old(S)
Bought by me from new, the Daihatsu dealer went "bump" the week after delivery.
I was "issued" to another main dealer who has been brilliant, though for the money he should also squeeze my blackheads......me being the kiss of death he has also stopped Daihatsu-ing, although he is prepared to still work on it but order any parts. This week he collected the beast took it for an MOT and delivered it all nice and jet-washed. £33.00 for a twenty-odd mile journey, not bad?
Car has done 87000 miles and (dare I say it?)never missed a beat.

grand move or fourtrak

Hi, I have had a grand move + for 2 years now. It's been a great car. I had an accident in it in January 2003 & nobody got hurt to my relief. The only problem I had was waiting for the garage to receive the parts to repair it. It has been reliable despite all it's been though.
I am wondering whether to get a fourtrak that I have seen. After reading the comments other people have made on this site, I feel that they are just as good (if not better). I like driving large vehicles, as I used to be a lorry driver, so I don't have a problem driving big cars.
I started off on a motor bike, but I promised myself that 1 day I would own a 4x4.

This is what NASA based their moon buggy on!

Have posted a few pics of my Daihatsu F50 soft top (1980) which has a normally aspirated 2.5 litre diesel engine. She has recorded 163,000 miles and runs like a dream! Would like to know if there are any other F20/F50 owners out there? If so, get your pics on this site.

Would like to trace any original literature for this vehicle and technical manuals.

Ferozas In Malaysian Jungles... Just the right size for narrow t

Hi there fellow Daihatsu Owners. I'm Jeff Zaiham and I am from Malaysia... Yes, the venue for the RFC (Rainforest Challenge)billed to be the toughest off-road race/competetition in the world.

I've owned my Feroza about 17 months now and to date I've done some basic maintenance and mods to it. It's a 94 with carbs... I'm looking for some EFI kits to do replace the tired carbs but have yet to find a used one (from Japan usually in the form of Half-Cut vehicles) thatis affordable and in good working order. With the EFI's I would be able to tweek more power and torque from the tired engines...

My Gran Move

Hi there!
I´ve got happy when I found a forum related to daihatsu, so I hope I could make new friends here and share my comments and opinnions about the daihatsus.

I own a 1998 Daihatsu Gran Move (aka Pyzar). My family always had a daihatsu at home, since the charmant in 1981-1993, a Rocky Wagon in 1993, and then we moved to a Applause until 1996. We bought the Gran Move because It looked to be very practical and unique.

My Bit on the side !!

Been going in and out of this site since the end of last year, without really contributing much.Mainly due to time constraints.What does surprise me is that no.one seems to mention off.roading their"trucks" Ive had my Fourtrak Independent for close on 5 years now,and wouldnt change it for anything..except maybe a newer one !Its a 95 Independent TDX in silver,and when I bought it,was as new with 38k on the clock,and the previous owner was a retired guy who had never taken it over anything rougher than a caravan site..so it really was pristine.It wasnt long before I,d changed the wheels to a

my search for a car

Well I’m looking for a car and have decided to get one of these, a Daihatsu Mira TRXX Avanzarto R4, a what u may ask well that’s the same question what i have been asking. From what I have learnt it is a 4x4 Mria (cuore), with a turbo and an intercooler, and it kicks out 64bhp out of a 660cc engine. and is capable of catapulting the car from 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. but this isn’t enough for me I want to know more about the car. so my search goes on but maybe someone out there can help.

A love affair

I have recently aquired a 1984 Diahatsu Charmant. I drove past this car twice before stopping to have a closer look. I had heard about the car and it belonged to a friend whose Aunty (who previously owned the car) had recently passed away leaving him the car.
However I went in to have a closer look and then a test drive.
I confess I had to rub my eyes, this was no old banger this was a time machine , it had, until recently, retained even the plastic factory covers on the seats. The only apparant blemishes were a cracked rear light glass and the nearside mirror case.
