1998 Daihatsu Fourtrak review from UK and Ireland
"Great 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, All I had to do was replace two rear tyres and it sailed through the MOT.
Power steering belt squealing; needs tightening.
General comments?
Japanese Land Rover, I only bought it for shooting and the dogs; it does both admirably.
Starts easily if you use glowplugs.
Not uncomfortable for 50 mile+ journeys, good vision and easy to drive.
Have not been stuck in the mud yet, do not believe that I will. Manual free wheeling hubs are a little bit of a nuisance, but you soon get used to them, push button FWD is great though.
Wonderfully strong engine, loads of power even after 133000 miles.
