Daihatsu Hi-jet diesel (MPV six seater)

I have four kids and I'm looking for the cheapest to own and run vehicle with at least six seats.

Can anyone please tell me what MPG you get out of these vans, what sort of insurance costs, cost of parts and are they any good!?

If anyone can help and does reply - thanks in advance.

Our poor Hijet ......(7 seater, P reg)

Our poor blue 'bug' is close to its last days.
We brought our Hijet 2yrs ago and were so pleased with our find, 7 seats, small engine perfect for our family needs.
On our first big family outing the head gasket went Cray 2 left us stranded 100miles from home with 4 not so happy kids. Thanks to a brilliant AA man our beloved Hijet was fixed for a tidy sum of £300.
So as time has gone on and our trust slowly building, little bit have broken we are now down to only the passenger side front window working plus sunroofs, only 1 of the side doors opens and at this moment in time the poor Hijet is stranded 4miles from home with a hole in its petrol tank :'(.

Hijet paint codes

Does anyone know where on the Hijet the paint code can be located? I have a 1996 Hijet SE MPV, it's metallic blue and I need some touch up paint for paint chips. I've searched high and low and am baffled. Most things on the Hijet seem to be in a weird place so I expect this is no exception. Endearing but sometimes frustrating.

Cheers,
Mike

Daihatsu Hijet

Hi all, I used to own a 850cc G reg Daihatsu Hijet - petrol, it was a cheap, ecconomic, workhorse and dear companion until I had to scrap it due to loosing the battle with the dreaded rot.

I now have recently purchased a 1300cc, petrol, EFI Hijet van 2000 X reg - and am finding to my horror that there seems to be more than a few problems with this model, for example, obtaining spares, overheating, etc.
