1989 Daihatsu Fourtrak el review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap tow vehicle, very capable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheating problem, the cause was a blocked radiator matrix. the front wheel bearing wore out. the front springs had to be replaced, as they were starting to sag.
General comments?
A good tough tow vehicle, as I regularly tow a tonne and half caravan with no problems. very strong off road. the cabin is a little dated, almost tractor like.
