Hijet Sliding door handle broken pin fix..

Forum: 

ok so how many of us have sliding doors that we can only open from the inside?
i found on my hijet on the outer door handle is a small pin that levers against the spring mechanism (arrowed). thing is the plastic round the base of the pin has broken off (red dot line)= not enough leverage to set the latch mechanism off.

this isnt a sales pitch.

main dealer attitude

Forum: 

I recently purchased a 52 plate Hijet (lpg) with light front damage,having repaired required some retaining clips for bumper and headlamp to complete.I went to main dealer was informed these Hijet vans "are a nuisance as they are made in Italy" I ordered these parts and was told that they would ring me Mon/Tues which didnt happen.I complained to Daihatsu who were not much help either so unfortunatly my Hijet will be for sale very shortly as problem obtaining secondhand parts and new parts uneconomical

Hi Jetters (especially campers) Get-together

Forum: 

Hi Hijetters (and others)
I haven't voted in the Poll on the Meet /Event for all Daihatsu drivers because I'm much more interested in a get-together just with other Hi-jet drivers. There doesn't seem a way of feeding this back - so I'm hoping this might be a good place to say it.

1997 MPV HIjet tyres @ £25 + VAT

Forum: 

just been out to have a look at what size my tyres are..
the rear are clear on size 155 (width of tread)/80 (height of wall/profile)-R (speed rating) 12 (rim) C (commercial)
The front tyres are not so clear cut!
155 R12 C.. no profile size.

can i take a punt and say the fronts are 80 profile as well? 2 different makes fitted to front/rear.

windy days

Forum: 

i just drove from manchester to london - it was a bit windy, and my hi jet was blown all over the motorway! it seems really dangerous to me. i nearly gave up and left it in a service station. does anyone else find this? will heavier wheels help? i suppose motorways aren't its forte...
