Hi. I recently drove my sportrak for about 2 hours on the motorway, and noticed at the end of the journey that the area around the gear stick and handbrake felt quite warm. Does anyone know if this is something to be concerned about?
There seem to be a fair few knocking around this part of the world. I know of 2 other owners who post on this site, but wondering if any other owners from hereabouts are registered on here?
Hi all, Was just putting a new clutch in my works Sportrac 1.6 efi, when i pulled the clutch cover off i found that the centre plate friction material was worn down to the rivets on the cover side and fine on the flywheel side (thank god). whilst changing the release bearing and cleaning the first motion shaft i noticed that there werent any marks on it where the pilot bearing would have been, checking the bearing in the end of the crank it had worn away by about 3mm.
Hi all, i've just brought my 1st diahatsu sportrac after defecting from the suzuki camp, i've stuck a picture in the gallery of it. has anyone ever changed a head gasket on one of these? any problem i should know of before i start?
I have only had my sportrak for a month and am not sure about how strong these vehicles are, having owned suzuki and Land Rover in the past, this is my first Daihatsu.
How strong are they off road, especialy the front cv,s and the half shafts?
I am planning an off road trip and was thinking of taking spares, apart from the usual, any thing on a sportrak that is not really man enough for some serious mud bashing?
Hi just bought h reg sportrack last weekend and LOVING IT but as usual ive bought something that hasn`t even got an owners manual can any body help me with a workshop manual as i`ve got a few bits and bobs to sort out,cheers.
Has anyone had any dealings with 'Daihatsu at cost' - www.daihatsuatcost.co.uk They seem to give very good discounts e.g. new Copen which has a list price of £13,495 OTR they are doing for £12,197. Don't know how as they are UK, main dealer warrantied cars.
For those folks who log in looking for info on FOURTRAKs and durability. My FOURTRAK is
a 1992Jreg with 185,000 miles
on the ticker. In all that
driving the only work done on it beyond routine maint. has
been two rt rear leaf springs.
It is a superb and reliable vehicle. It goes into the shop next week for paint. I wish they were still in production....
