Charade Rear Doors

Forum: 

Hi all, just bought a 53 reg. Charade, great little car apart one thing. The rear doors rattle when you drive over a bump.

Upon inspection it seems as though the doors don't "pull-in" tightly enough when shut.

Is this a well-known problem? and it is just a case of adjusting the latch etc.

Any ideas?

Sirion discs - warp prevention

Forum: 

For information, I have just renewed my 2005 Sirion's discs as they were warped - or so the garage and I thought. The actual cause seems to have been flecks of rust between the disc and hub - lodged there when the tyres were changed I guess. Poor design I think as there is a reasonable gap between the hub circumference and the disc's bore - most car's have a narrow gap, a mild interference or better still, a screw to hold the disc in place. So the message is: take car after you change tyres as the disc is a very loose fit.

Revs too high when warm, too low when cold.

Forum: 

I have had problems with my 2000 registered Sirion for a few months.
When the engine is warmed up the rev counter shows 2000 revs per minute whilst idleing. When cold the revs are very low and the engine sometimes cuts out.
My garages diagnostic machine identified a faultly coolent temprature sensor, they replaced the sensor which appears to have helped, but not solved the problem.

Daihatsu Grand Move

Forum: 

There's a leak in the radiator of my 1997 Grand Move (1.5ltr petrol). As it's a Japanese import the garage reckons they will have difficulty sourcing a new one if it has to be replaced. I'm wondering if the radiator in the Grand Move is compatible with the radiator any other Daihatsu model? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How to fix a smokey Cuore (847cc engine)

Forum: 

Hi,

Instead of asking questions, I thought i'd offer a little info I have discovered.

Seems that info on the cuore is very few and far between, and I feel kinda on my own in regards to fixing etc.

Anyway, my cuore started smoking quite bad when high revving or under load.

So, Thought I'd do my best to get nice clean air in the engine.

No Ignition, need a wiring diagram

Forum: 

I have a 97 993cc Hijet.
It will not start, and no sparks.
Electronic Ignition is new to me, aged 63.
I relly need a wiring diagram of the ignition circuits.
I have changed the ECU, - no sparks. There is 12v at the coil.
I wonder if an older vehicle distributer with points and normal coil can be fitted also, but if anyone can help, it would be good.
