1992 Daihatsu Feroza EFI review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun little machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the water pump at 150,000ks and apparetly my radiator had to be rebored at the same time.
Every time I have the steering fully turned to the left and am slowly ascending or descending a bump there is a loud snapping sound. Mechanic says he can't find anything wrong.
Whistling that sounds like turbo at about 2800 revs... any ideas what it is.
General comments?
The car has been very good to drive and I love it. The water pump and radiator dying have annoyed me because I'm stuck in Canberra with the mechanics unable to find parts straight away.
Besides that the car has been a dream. I live in the city (Melbourne) so its lots of fun taking it off road once in a while.
