Ulanbataar in Mongolia

Forum: 

We only flipping made it! Sorry for the lack of blog updates and website updates, the reception for mobile phones has been sporadic to say the least. But we did it! We managed to make it to all the way without incident (bar a bulb in Germany) and have now passed our Terios on to the charity. It has been an amazing adventure and Bertha has held up well. She has battled through the best and worst of Europe, Asia and now Mongolia and it has been amazing. Will we be uploading photos as soon as we can but there is still time to sponsor us!

Terios 1.3 1998 - does it have an immobiliser?

Forum: 

My insurance company are asking me if my 1.3 Terios has an immobiliser fitted - never asked that before. It has central locking and an aftermarket GT alarm (which I suspect isn't a Thatcham jobbie). Does anyone know if the early Terios came with immobilisers from the factory?

Cheers,

Chris

Forum: 

since buying a daihatsu fourtrak ive got an interest in doing a bit of diy mechanics even did my own clutch on me fiat last week took me 7 days but hay saved a bit.

im trying to get a good tool box together i bought cheap to begin with and some snapped during using them and were generally rubbish to work with ive sold all that now via ebay.

coolent

Forum: 

is there a difference between coolent and antifreeze.

ive been told to 50/50 mix coolent in my radiator a few times but all i can find is antifreeze.

it this the same and does it provide better heat removal or is it just to protect against rust etc.

this is what i can find batoyle mono ethylene glycol antifreeze.
