Fourtrak 1998 TDX Ind - Injector Pipes and where on earth can I get one!

Forum: 

Can anyone help! The No.1 injector pipe went last week on my fourtrak and I can't find one anywhere. Milners catalogue don't appear to list them, I can't find a local dealer who can supply and nothing on ebay!!!

Currently got a temporary fix on but can't trust this for too long!

Scruffy alloys

Forum: 

Hi guys, i've been tidying up my 4trak recently and she's looking pretty fine now, apart from the alloy wheels. They are the teardrop type and are looking worse for wear now the rest of the truck is gleaming!

Question is, are there any ways of stripping them back and re-coating them? or is it better just finding somewhere that refurbishes alloys?...i don't really want to spent a lot of money, just would like my wheels to look nice.

silly question time = again

Forum: 

ok, so the rear end of my fourtrak 2.8td
feels like its shaking its ass whe i hit 60mph,

the wheels have been balanced,
i am looking for a replacement prop shaft at the moment
suspect its outta balance or worn

question,???

i have been under the truck, and noticed all thats attached to the rear axle is 2 leaf springs, and 2 shocks

should there not be a anti-roll bar/ stabiliser of some description fitted ??????

Parts For Old Daihatsu's

Forum: 

Hi there, i've just started working on restoring and improving my 1987 Fourtrak, it runs beautifully but was beggining to look a bit shabby.

One of the main problems is the drivers side front wing is pretty dented. Does anyone know any good places to get pattern parts for older Daihatsu's, since everythings bolt on it would be a fairly easy change over. Alternatively does anyone have a front drivers wing going spare they'd like to sell, i'm not worried about odd bits of rust (it can all be repaired with some alu mesh and plastic padding Smile ) as long as it isnt dented.

mileage on clocks

Forum: 

please could owners check when putting the milage on forums:dont forget when reading your speedo to put a one in front of your mileage unless you have documented proof that that is the original mileage,as on diahatsu,s there is niot enough numbers on the clocks,

its getting annoying when people put lovely k reg sportrak with 38,000 on the clock, pull the other one,try 138,000 I have 26 sportraks in my yard that i break and not one of them has done under 70,000 and they range from c-reg up to m-reg. the average mileage a year is 12,000 so take a 11 year old k-reg sportrak this would give you an average of 10,000 miles on the clock,
