Daihatsu Feroza [Merged]

**OTEP** · January 15th, 2006 12:31 AM

I went out today to look at a '90 Daihatsu Feroza (EL model?). It's being sold for Php 135k. It had 169,xxx kms on the clock, gray body, 5-spoke alloys with street tires, and a sound set-up.

Anything I should look out for?

I noticed that the clutch was very stiff. Normal ba yun? Is there a remedy to this?
There were also some noises coming from the engine. Sabi ng seller it's the water pump. Mahirap ba ayusin iyon?
Then there was the case of the engine dying when turning at full lock during idle. Ano kaya problem? Ganito ba talaga mga Feroza? Is there a remedy?

Salamat po!

otep may thread na dati nito..nabura na?

anyway, former feroza owner here..matigas talaga clutch niyan pati suspension... kapag 100km parang sasabog na makina ahahaha! gearing not for highways.. yes may mga ingay din sa makina mas matagal nasa casa yung amin kaysa nagamit lahat ng maiisapan mapalitan napalitan na di pa rin mawala..
pero nawala din yun inggay nung nabenta namin dahil yung buyer na ang nakakarinig di na kami..ahihihi! 1993 pa ito nabenta noon mahirap na ang piyesa ewan ko lang ngayon...

The new daihatsu forum is here, http://www.daihatsuclubph.org/forum/
You might wanna check with them. I don't remember any such noises from the water pump, and the engine definitely shouldn't die like that. Clutch shouldn't be that stiff either.

I just had mine repainted (Talong!) and the whole interior is being redone now. Haven't decided yet if I'll sell it (just bought a Tucson), but parts are available, but far from easily attainable. The other dudes at the club know the places to get them though. They even have an anointed daihatsu mechanic (Tata Rudy) that knows the feroza now inside/out if you want him to check out the car your looking at.

Guys help naman tagal ko ng naghahanap pang service hindi kasi pwede kotse dito maraming bundok tsaka may mga rough road pa pag bumibiyahe ako. eto po bang feroza maraming parts na mabibili? budget ko kasi nasa 150-200K lang kasya lang para sa FEROZA na model 1997. In terms of durability and reliability ano pong masasabi nyo? TIA Guys.

Ang tawag ng mga taga BANAWE sa Feroza ay "Parusa" coz walang available parts.

**RakataK** · March 27th, 2006 06:41 PM

Kakatakot palang bumili ng PARUSA. Kaya pala ang daming nagbebenta napakamura pa.

wag ka bumili ng FEroza! No parts available yan! mAski service center and distributor nya (Signet sa Mandalyong) ayaw dati tanggapin yun Feroza namin for service, sabi nila wala na raw sila parts nun and iuwi nalang daw namin yun unit! ever since binenta na namin yun Feroza namin! yup maski sa banawe hirap parts, kung meron super mahal pa!

K.o and jimaroquai tnx for the advice. tingin na lang ako ng ibang sasakyan na pang rough road na maraming parts para kahit masira hindi ako nag-aalanganin. Than you again guys.
