hi guys i have a 1986 2.8 non turbo rocky and i just bough it a few days ago, its a little beat up by time but its my project car. now the thing is that engine runs great but i cant turn it off with the key i have to turn it off manualy by pulling on a string that kills the engine. now i would like to know if it is something serious or is it just a matter of buying a part and it will work just fine.

Four track reversing lights

restoration

hello all you daihatsu lovers, i have a 1986 daihatsu rocky 2.8 non turbo diesel long wheel base with leaf springs and i found a place that makes them and give them more radius curvature and also makes them either softer or harder so i can lift my rocky. now my question is:
-is this a good idea as far as just making new leaf sprins all around a little softer so i can get a much soft ride.

99 f78 2.8TD Rocky SE

Forum: 

Hello all, I live in Panama and have come across a 1999 Rocky SE 2.8TurboDiesel with 55,000kms. The owner tells me the vehicle was first used on 2004. The vehicle seems to be in very good condition, the engine seems fine, no visible leaks and underneath there is a leak in the transfer/front diff that the owner thinks is just the screw being poorly tightened. Also when driving and pressing the clutch some motion is felt in the engine bay dont know if could be loose motor or tranny mounts.
