I was looking at the few parts available on ebay for the Extol and found a Cam chain kit. I had assumed the engine was much the same as that in the Hi-Jet but looking beneath the front seats access to any cam cover is all but impossible. Can anyone confirm which these have, belt or chain.

Hi

Headlights
indicators
Front and Rear Bumper
Mirrors
Rear Tail Lights

I replaced the cambelt on my 1.3i Van 3 years ago and it has covered about 12000 miles without problem. The original cambelt was that put on by Daihatsu when the van was built and had covered 68000 miles over 9 years. Because of its age I replaced it with an OE belt marked MAK Japan Powerbelt. The van has been running like a dream but yesterday all power was suddenly lost. After a tow home I checked for a spark, nothing, so I removed the Distributor cover and turning the engine found that the distributor remained static.

i have just brought a toyota sparky which is a daihatsu atrai in disguise ... does any one have any idea what oil i need
also does any one know the part numbers for the oil filter , plugs and air filter

After loads of messing finally sorted overheating on 97 Hi Jet 1.0. A partly blocked rad was the problem. Paid £35 replacement from a local Hijet breakers. An they fitted it. Runs perfect. Contact me if anyone wants any info because I've been through everything.
