Just letting you all know about this place if you dont already...

Ken Bowen Motors
"Daicare"
Princes Hwy Sylvania, Sydney
(02) 9522 7111.


Got ball joints, pitman arm and idler from here recently and they have been considerably cheaper then other daihatsu dealers in sydney. I saved over $50 on the set of front lower ball joints as opposed to the prices wanted by Chatswood Daihatsu, and they were also cheaper than Lincorp. They were cheaper by at least $20 on all the other parts I ordered.

CLUTCH:

I spoke to the guy there (who now knows me by name :roll: ) today about a clutch that I am gonna have to get sooner or later, and he said he can do genuine clutch kit for $250.00. He said it was likely to be a daikin in a daihatsu box, but want sure.

Does anyone know of the specs on each and if they are the same? Has anyone fitted a genuine and a daikin and can compare???

I am not interested in where to buy a clutch, I am asking if anyone has had experience with both the units I outlined.

As for Daihatsu dealers, I wont be going near them anymore for parts based on the pricing scales i have seen over the past few weeks.
