2005 Daihatsu Fourtrak TDL SE review from UK and Ireland
"Great, tough 4x4 that does what it says on the tin!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only had the car a couple of weeks, but so far its better than expected.
I have done a full service myself and due to poor starting had to fit a new set of glow-plugs, which cured the problem.
The car has a few marks on the body and drivers seat has a 2" rip.
The gearbox is a bit agricultural, and needs a steady hand for silent changes, but runs well.
Bit noisy over 55mph.
General comments?
Steady driving (town & longer runs) give 33mpg.
Ride is a bit choppy, but not too bad.
Pulls well and steering's light.
Excellent all round visibility and lights are quite good for night driving.
Servicing parts are quite cheap, via internet, specialist Japanese 4x4 sites.
