Sporty steering

Forum: 

Help, when it's really cold my power steering gets stiff to turn and won't come back to centre on it's own ! when it's slightly warmer out side ( 5 C plus ) it works OK ! I've replaced the pump and pumped all the steering grease nipples with newe grease all to no effect. Any ideas anyone Unknw

please send some technical advice i really need it. i drive a sporty by the way!

Sportrak arrived today

Forum: 

After a weekend spent 'car shopping' after the engine in my latest series 3 Landrover gave up the ghost, I've ended up with a Sportrak as a daily driver while I find another engine for the Landy.

So far I'm impressed, but the odd rust bubble on my M-reg motor is something I'm not used to having to deal with.

My question is simply is there anything I should know about Sportys before trusting one to get me to work and back every day? Any weak links or things you have to keep an eye on?

Fieldman or Fourtrax?

Forum: 

Ive finally had to let my trusty Isuzu trooper 3.1 go. 165,000 miles mostly done by me and she has hardly ever let me down So after reading all the reviews and talking to local farmers I’ve decided that what I need is…....a fourtrax or is it. And this is where I need your help do I go for fourtrax or fieldman I’ve found a good looking fieldman in my price bracket (2001 X reg) on searching the net and buying costly magazines even ringing the local Daihatsu dealer (mentioning no names)
