Outer Limits 4x4 Board

To the $ (no GST) Labour $101.10, Plugs $14.75, Leads $75.40.
Took them a while to do the electronics, and they also checked the compression ( no probs) as I told them I thought it might be a sticky valve.

I had the Feroza to the Mechanic this week to find the cause of it's 'MISS'. Really bad at cold start, and still there (noticable) up to 2k.
Turns out to be one of the plugs had lost it's ceramic core, and was firing all over the place, and the leads had very high resistance.
$200.00 later and all ...

Go to your local auto spares shop and buy the gasket materiall, its like cardboard and is sold by the length.
Trace your manifold onto it and cut it out. Don't forget to cut out the inner holes as well

The Service Guy at the Dealer that I got my Feroza through had a gut full of the mucking around by the beancounters and told the bloke at Bob Janes to replace all the tyres with Dunlop A/T's, Problem GONE!!!!
Happy little feroza now.
The tyres where out of round and the rims where a tad suspect ...

Hope the heater works looks bloody cold, or do you have VERY white sand

Will be interested on the outcome Clint, I posted the problem ages ago and have not fixed it yet, full service and all. Only is a problem when cold, once it is warm it's OK.

Turned out the fan is cactus (no brush's left), as well as the controller (main coil broken).
Off to the wreckers now.
Thanks for the input Brian.

I'm from the daihatsu board and need some help please. Fan has stopped and need to locate the electrics that need to be replaced, they are not in the dash near the switch, already had a look.

Hi Rockyman,
This dealer is a liquidator, and his cars are the ones that
"John West Rejects", I looked there when shopping for mine, not much point going back.

Hey RockyMan,
those two rocky's are one and the same, and that car yard is nearly a wreckers, you would have to spend up big on their cars, or use them on the farm. Note that they don't quote K's. Stay away QLDGAL

QLDGAL wrote That sounds like a pretty good price for it. I am only spending $10k.

Thats all I had and I shopped for a 12k-13k advertised price. Walk in with cash and be surprised how they deal, I said I would give them 10k for a 12k car, NOW, and they jumped at it. I got a 91narrow track with ...

Installed the new filter, noticed that the old one (genuine) was in upside down and the fuel that ran out was dirty. Wait till tomorrow to see how it starts.

Thanks for that one, I nearly ran out of fuel a week or two ago, your mechanic might be correct. I'll replace the filter tomorrow and see what happens.

Hi All,
Anybody have this before, fluctuating between 750 and 1000 rpm, only when cold (cold as in not run, not cold outside temp). Once it's warm it idles at 950 rpm. It sounds like its missing on one cylinder, if its reved to 2000 + rpm it sounds fine. Any ideas greatfully accepted.

Andy, nice welding job. One thought though, if your fuel is spilt, the first place it is going to end up is in the water filler.

Hi All,
You might want to ask your local police about your mods, my son was fined by the police for an unroadworthy car, but done his mods as per the transport dept's book. If they want to book you, they can, and will. He had to pay the fine and a roadworthy inspection, which the car passed.

Hi Tim,
Do a search for used cars (feroza) on http://classifieds.news.com.au/ or nine msn (car point), there are auto's there if your realy looking.

Hi All,
I have had a rattle in the pump for a few weeks now, just got the Manual (nice one!! thank's David) and had a look, repair by replacement, BUMMER, rang several overhaul places, $250 - $350 to get it overhauled, Daihatsu do not have a rebuild kit. Went to remove it and the pulley moved, done ...

Dont need one either, sorry. Ferwoaza's workshop manual is another story though, even if it was just the pages that are missing from the online copy.

Hi Murcod,
If you have downloaded it can you try to put a copy on our side of the net, or maybe even on the list if it's possible or allowed? Anyone out there know if it can be translated, babble fish or the like, I had a look for a "pdf plug in" but no luck.

Hi Doates,
My 91 narrow track has the same paint lines and grill as the one in the link. Cant help with the difference between the two track versions except for the obvious rollover factor. I spent a lot of time researching before I bought mine, nothing obvious comes to light, do your normal pre ...

Hi All,
The tyres are Nankang (chinese), dont think for a second that a dealer would put on decent off road tyers do you, but we will see how they turn out.
I have just taken out the fuel valve and the split is very obvious, sealed it and now waiting for it to dry, hopefully fixed.

The plot thickens, had the tyres rebalanced this morning and was informed that they where out of round, took the car to Goodyear who fitted the tyres and they re-balanced and rotated the bad tyres on the rims to get a better balance. Took it for a drive, no difference, dealer put back tyres on the ...

Mine takes a while to warm up but sits just below half way

G'day mucrod,
That thread is mine also, sorry.

Hi All,
I am new to Feroza's and 4x4, could someone out there know or have a good guess at the answers to my problem vibrations, they can appear at 95k's but not always, they go from side to side, dealer put new tyres on it for me under warrenty, the vibrations are still there, had two wheel ...
