I think at some point soon I should think about putting my 993 hijet into the garage to get a new cambelt, since I just bought it with little history and 103k on the clock. Are these engines pretty straight forward to get at and work on or should I expect a good few hours labour for this job?
Hi all, I have just purchased a little '97 993cc Hijet, firstly to assist with a house move and then hopefully to keep for camping etc. It's a little rough round the edges but I'll tidy it up a bit, it was bought for the princely sum of £500 so I wasn't expecting too much on the looks front! Here is a picture of it at the moment, and then after a bit of Photoshopping how I'd like to have it after a tidy up-
We are moddifying an E reg rocky and managing to break more parts then we are putting on! Can anyone help us find some good cheap parts to fix our rust bucket! Please!!!!
I've become the new owner of an old Sportrak. (HD-C Engine, one of the first off the line, I suppose.)
First things first, got it down to it's undies, and swapped out the cambelt, using instructions provided on this very forum. Drove it to work, it Ran so hot it blew the Rad (in exactly the same place as another user on this forum told someone it would... jeez, you guys are good...)
Could anyone please confirm which engine is fitted to an R reg Hijet.It is a 3 cylinder engine but the decal on the rear door(it's a 5 door people carrier)says 1300 EFI and I've been told it's a 1296cc engine.Is there such a thing as a 1300 3 cyl engine?

We are team Psychedelic Pirates going on the Mongol Rally in 2008. WE have bought a Hijet MPV which we hope will get us to Ulan Baataar. Need a bit of advice as to putting larger struts springs and wheels on it. Can you get bigger struts and springs and are there any larger wheels that will fit. We think it may be a good idea to have a snorkel as well, any advice?
Had to obtain a set of brake shoes from Daihatsu for my Hijet as could not find any other supplier anywhere. This type contains the arm attachment for the handbrake and the snail cam brake adjuster, total price nearly £90!
can any one tell me when the cam belt has to be changed its done 36000 miles from new its a p reg only use it weekends and is there a site or place where i can get a workshop manual for it many thanks steve
