Fourtrak F78 DL52 slow starter?

Forum: 

Not sure if i have a problem or not, but here goes;
Starting procedure is as follows;
1) key in.
2) Turn to 'glow' posn.
3) wait until glow light goes out.
4) turn key to start.

We appear to have a very slight pause, say 1/2 second, between turning the key to start and any movement of the starter motor - is this normal:?

Towing - Fitting of height adjuster

Forum: 

Amother question from the newbie:

Can I fit a height adjuster plate to raise / lower the towing jaws on the Fourtrak? The two holes at the top of the backplate seem smaller that the two holes for the towing hitch. The specs for the adjuster all state must be mounted using four bolts.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

DL52 Rocky Engine deco head gasket set needed

Forum: 

I own a 2000 Daihatsu Rocky 2.7 TD. It has a DL52 engine, for which parts are not readily availble in South Afica.
The engine needs to be opened, and I cannot source a head gasket set anywhere. Apparently even the suppliers do not stock it and have it only manufactured on request, which can take up to 6 months!
Can anybody help?

Tyres on 7J Alloy rims on a F78 Riviera 1997.

Forum: 

Hi,
My current tyres (General Grabber)with road style tread are 255/70/15 on the original pepperpot style alloys.
I've managed to get my mits on some BF Goodrich M&S that are 235/75/15.
Q. Does anyone know if these will sit ok on the 7J rims?

I've done a comparison and the diameter is -4mm which is nowt so the speedo reading etc will be ok.

Thanks in anticipation...;)
