Winter Drive in Restored 1992 Daihatsu Charade 1 Litre Turbo Diesel

I took a bit of time over the holidays to get 'Chewie' the 1992 1 Litre Turbo Diesel Daihatsu Charade officially tested and back on the road afterwards I took it to my favourite mountain pass for a test drive and crossed my fingers for snow. Thanks to MicksGarage.com for parts support during the four years of this project and to E Fox Engineers Ltd who helped me raise my game midway with Jefferson Professional Tools & Equipment. I'm grateful also to Cork Engine Centre who did an excellent job rebuilding the engine and DoranSleator, The Paint Specialists/Motorcolour.ie for their help supplying paint. It's very satisfying to have completed a project.

These were so much fun to drive.

Looks like it is a blast to drive.

If you want a fun three pot diesel and can’t find one of these anything with the VAG 1.4 TDI will do. I had a Skoda Fabia 1.4 TDI on loan once and loved the gravelly thrum!

Brill. Hope to drive that road some day. Did the 1.0 TD come with the magic green Turbo light on the dash?
