Discussions about Daihatsu 4x4's in general

Any one have any info on this old gal..

Forum: 

http://www.daihatsu-drivers.co.uk/node/532 <--------- this old gal has been mine since september last year.. and i would love to have some history on here..

She's in need of work but used daily . mot due soon.. Sad just spent £300 on new tyres(255/70/15's).. and £65 on some leaf spring assisters... might have to mod the rear inner arches as wheels rub now and then.. not took her off road yet, might be a little low underneath.. Rear axle looks like its rusting or just well dirty..

sporty engine change

Forum: 

Howdy to the the great ones!

Please tell, would a 1600 elxi < 1995 > be suited to the body of a (presently dead or poss dead) 1600 elxi < 1996 > sporty.

If so.....my god youse are good.....would it be a wise never mind good idea to exchange rather than repair a cooked 1996 engine.

Gratitude to the great ones:->

Differential locks!!??

Forum: 

Has anyone been able to locate any diff locks other than original LSD.. Detroit lockers anything.. after trying friends "white whale" with front difflock i'll sell my rocky if i don't find difflocks because the difference was huge.. rocky is suprisingly good in offroading but as the appetite grows the limitations grow bigger and bigger..

SPORTRAK TOWBAR WIRING

Forum: 

Here's were the wires go..... This is how I wired my '95 model. Others may well be the same, but you try at own risk obviously.

Lift the carpet where it joins together next to the passenger seat, door side. You'll see a connector. Splice into these as follows.

Use Scotchloks/screw terminals if poss.

BLUE - Green/black tracer
WHITE - White/black tracer
RED - Yellow
BROWN - White/green tracer/silver dots

New Terios ... any good?

Forum: 

I didn't know the Terios even existed until I was looking through the catagories on the Auto Trader website and found it under Daihatsu. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for town parking but practical for my needs. Since owning one I've been very happy with it. Now I see there is a new style Terios and it looks like it's getting more publicity this time around. It looks fantastic and is sure to sell. The dimensions have changed. It is now longer, wider and not as tall. The Engine has also beed increased to a 1.5l from 1.3 which is a good move. There's not much competition either. Only Suzuki's SX4 is a close comparison but the Terios looks a better choice in my opinion.
