Yeh I will miss the drift inducing surge of power the beast had

Well it has come time to part with the Feroza. It was not without a fight though. Moving overseas for work and wife won't let me pay for storage for the beast til we return. Have a look in the for sale section and tell all your friends what a great car they are :) so I can sell it quick.

Oh and ...

G'day SP, wondering if I can place an order for some bits and pieces if you have them...... both interior door handle surrounds, rear right tailight lense and right rear corner bumper extension?

Cheers, Ben

Oh and if you have a fan shroud that would be great too.

Firstly, welcome to the dark side of daihatsu ownership Doug.

Apologies if you already know or worked it out, but the first switch is for locking/unlocking the rear door. Apart from the usual multimeter test o see if current is reaching the rear door lock mechanism, no real advice to give about ...

Calenders at the ready.......go

Again thanks for the advice MM. Strangely enough found that the lock
nuts themselves were easy than I first thought to remove......with the help of a homemade service tool aka a bit of pipe persuaded into shape with a rather large hammer......and luckily the spring gauge was picked up during the ...

Appreciate the reply.

But my bad, I should have specified it is the main axel locking nut. i.e. the one that stops you removing the brake rotor as the hub is still attached that I am referring to.

I too thought about just cold chiseling it off if it was an issue, but then would still need the ...

Just a question guys and gals, I am about to change
my brake rotors this weekend and know I need a special sized
socket or wrench to remove the hub locking nuts.......anyone know
what size/s I will need?

And any gurus out there have any hints to make the job easier?

Cheers in advance, Ben.

Any one know if and where you can source front brake pad
guides for the feroza.....you know the little pieces of metal installed
at each end of the pad that stop it from moving.....
mine are RS which causes a lot of unwelcome clunking
when braking.

Just wondering if anyone can give advice on adjusting the valve clearances. I have done this before on other vehicles and have the
feroza bible handy to tell me the ranges of adjustment when hot and
cold.....my question's are:

(1) does this engine prefer erring on the tighter
or looser side for ...

Hey MrPham, if not too much trouble could you post up the results of the email to ripperdeals..... Am in the market for ball joints for the roza also......

Cheers.

Probably the easiest and cheapest way to outdo the mate
and his zook is to plan two weeks away wheeling, camping
and drinking and make sure to tell ya mate he has to bring
enough food, water and supplies for the entire time.........

The extra space in the Fez will "sh!t all over the zook" :rofl ...

I used some 3 inch pipe, some rubber elbows, an air filter cannister from an old patrol with a pod filter inside, and it goes alright for the moment.

Not the ultimate design, but I think looks and functions as it should. Highly recommend the patrol cannister, needs to be hacked up a little but the ...

Thanks x million for the offer Stu

Crisis over though, manned up and showed the bearing
who's boss with the help of a vice and sockets per MM's
yoda-esque advice

Will keep that in mind however cheers

Basically seized and let go completely. The only thing that
remained was the inner and outer grooved rings and the
ball bearings....

Lucky I wasn't driving, I was actually letting the car idle with the
bonnet up to find where the week old "whining" sound was coming
from.

I could hear the ...

Cheers MM.....

Although was kinda hoping it wasn't just my muppet arms
that were stopping the bearing from coming out

With regards to the title, the bearing in the pulley
has crapped out, was wondering if the bearing in
the centre is replacable or if a new pulley is on the cards.

I ask as I am wanting to know if the reason the bearing
won't come out is due to the fact that it doesn't come out
or that it needs ...

Thanks for the heads up guys. Haven't inspected the thermostat
but worth a look. To be honest the cooling system works well, if not
too well at times.

Is there any benefit to the system from an electric pump instead of the mechanical?

Just curious, can anyone answer for me why is it when I
am full engine braking, like going down a mountain range in
say third gear at 60 clicks not using brakes, just engine
to keep speed down, why would my engine temp drop to almost
lowest point on the dial?

PS It is a 1994 widetrack Fez ...

Or if anyone is keen to do it for me I have worked out from last time that it took me nearly a carton of booze to complete. i.e. one can for every time I swore.....so with inflation and my good will, two cartons(spirits if need be) would be acceptable payment

Let me know if any takers.

Anyone know of a good reasonably priced
auto electricians/installers in Brisbane for
a car alarm into the feroza? Have already
got the hardware just need an installation.

Have installed an alarm before, what a PITA!
Not too keen to do it again, rather pay
someone else to do it this time ...

Thanks for the tips guys. MM, the warfs article was a little helpful if not a mentally draining read! It looks as if some flat bar for the rear mounts and some square tube might be the go for the bullbar......

Was trying to cheat and see if anyone had photos or dimensions of their own solution ...

G'day all, am about to do a bodylift on the Feroza and wish to know does anybody have any photos or advice on replacement brackets for the bullbar and rear bumper once a two inch lift is done. Any recommendations, i.e. type of material, etc. much appreciated.

Cheers.

G'day Percy, haven't done one yet but am looking to in the near future. Would be happy to lend a hand though....might be good practice for mine

Only the best for the Roza

Thanks for the info guys, some good food for thought for the winch project.....my only fear is that if I have the ability to get myself out of trouble more, that I will be keener to get into the trouble in the first place

G'day all, am wondering about the size of winch recommended for a Feroza? Going by all the info I can find on here I am thinking about pulling power of about 2 times the weight of what I would need to pull. The main problem is working out how much I would need to pull :?

I mean I am mainly ...

The pipe was basically brand spankers as the "abandoned shed" was more like a weekend cabin. The pipe was inside along with a lot of other material probably meant for the restoration of the place.

No fear to those who think me a thieving mongrel, my mate in his lifted disco was nice enough to ...

True about the dissy, but in defence of the mighty roza, and the undeniable physics of air pressure against water ingress under the bonnet, all turned out ok. The hottest part of the engine worked out to be a great place for the pod filter as all moisture was basically burnt off before it got there ...

Now here's how not to make an intake, but I must explain, this was done out of necessity as I went camping after quite a lot of rain, to an area called the 14 river crossings no less....one would have thought that may have given me an idea to the likelihood of deep water :D but alas, set up camp ...
