Hi guys,
Bought this on ebay without thinking through. After pucking it up in durham it has broke down twice n that was just on the way home!! Ive not even used it yet. The latest replair needed is the diff seal rear axel. Can anyone advice where i get the parts from as my garage laughed me out the door!

Then get a new garage!

Possibly expensive but genuine parts that cant be sourced from ebay or vans being stripped.

Can you be more specific about your description 'diff seal, rear axle'. Is it the square cork seal behind the tin plate facing the rear of the van, centre of differential? Or do you mean the bearing seals half shaft to rear wheel carrier, or the prop shaft to diff seal?

The former could be repaired with 'seal in a tube' until a proper cork gasket is obtained. Bearing seals may be available from bearing specialists.

I've dealt with the two main Italian Piaggio suppliers and they are very good. But you need to order quite a bit of stuff as their carriage is quite pricey at €20 regardless of size. Drop me an email for more details.

There is a Guy Breaking a Daihatsu Hijet 1.3 2003 on the Daihatsu Hijet Owners Facebook group you could ask him

Just found this place in Italy - Piaggio parts - fit late model HiJet too

Woodie would be my first choice as he can not only find most things and can give great advise for numpties like me. I have also bought a few bits and bobs from Mondio porter in Italy and found them very good, if a little pricey. Had a ladder rack/roll bar and underbody box from them which I couldn’t source from anywhere else.

Steve, I use Woodie too, but if you have been following his posts you will know that he has been steadily reducing his stock of parts.
At the moment I still need a radiator - evidently the listing I pressed buy on was a computer software glitch or whatever ... - It was too good to be true

Hi John
I don’t get a chance to follow this forum too often, work gets in the way. I did know Woodie was reducing his stock after a fire and illness, real shame. Not sure if this is what you need but they do have other rads on their web pages https://www.mondoporter.com/collections/raffreddamento/products/radiatore-piaggio-porter

I have used local radiator specialists in the past - mine used to have a 1.0 Hijet rad in stock. Might be worth a try?

Thanks Steve - I found a new one on ebay from "mr-wiper" ACP at a very reasonable price - worth buying if you even have suspicions you may need to replace your rad at a later date. Out of interest where in Cornwall are you - I am in Helston.
