  Thank you for your reply. Mine is a 2.2Litre engine. The daihatsu scat that came out in the same year was a 2.5L I think. So glad someone else in Australia has and enjoys them!

  hey jaytim, i would love a copy of the workshop manual (ill pay for the copies of course). I have a F50 scat, love it, its not going at the minute though, due to a dead radiator. Im trying to search for one, but thinking i will have to put a rocky radiator in it. ne ways, let me know about the manual, thanks

  Hi and thanks for the replies. Sorry about the delay, did not think anyone else was going to answer! Yes thank you I would love a workshop manual copy. And I did not know that a 2.8 diesel would fit. How does it go with the 4 speed? What revs does it do at 90kms and 100kms? Thanks again for reply. Lianne

  We're also doing up a Daihatsu Scat (1978) but are having serious trouble finding parts (door locks, ignition barrel/lock, R hand door window winding mechanism). Just wondering if anyone knows if other year/model Daihatsu parts will fit ours? Its a great car with reconditioned engine, like new, but you have to drive it with a screwdriver!! Thankyou, Lucy.

  Hi I have just brought my first car its a Yellow 1978 Daihatsu F20 with a 1.6Lter (12R? i think) engine runs butifully (the fact that its petrol aside) my parents actually had a F50 in Papua New Gunea when i was a kid some 6 years ago i went back reciently and guess what its still there and running on PNG roads thats quite a feat being over 20 years old and still going hard on thoes roads is quite demanding on any vehicle. on the one I have ath the moment i am looking at getting the leaf springs replaced (any suggestions any one?) and long term i would like to put  2 bench seats in the back (so it can seat 6 people totla the one we had in PNG had the 6 seat set up so i know its possable agin sugestions and pointers for complyance would be greatly apreciated) cheers guys/people much apriciated

  hey, jaytim, is the manual you have suitable for the toyota blizzard? I need the diesel pump info please. Thanks, Lianne

  Hi, I've just found this thread, I have a F60R 2.8 deisel Scat, I may need parts for the fuel pump as it idles quite high and cannot bring the revs down. Someone told me this is a common thing and comes from the fuel pump, does anyone have answers on this. Cheers.

  Hi Scatmobile How I eventually fixed the diesel pump problem was pulling it apart, getting a kit for it from a genuine toyota dealer. The kit comprised mostly of rubber 0 rings. But parts are almost impossible to find unfortunately. I needed a radiator hose for mine, and had to go through the entire range of hoses which took about 40 mins. In the end it was a commodore one that was the closest. Hope that helps a bit. Go to a good diesel mechanic for  diesel pump info, they should be able to help. Lianne
