bertone freeclimber 1.6

I have a Bertone freeclimber 1.6 with a busted drivers side door handle. Having real problems getting a replacement (am in Spain). Does the Diahtsu Feroza/Rocky/Fourtrak have the same handle does anyone know? cheers

As far as I know they're the same cars, just badged up differently in different markets and with slightly different nose treatments. Might be worth bringing the car to the spares place first to see if they match before you hand over your cash though.

thanks twincam. Got a door handle today from a diahtsu rocky. the same. am now wondering if a fuel tank will be the same from the petrol version. Fuel guage doesn't work properly on the bertone. when you fill it up it shows dead nothing. then as the fuel is used it will rise to about a third and sit there for a while then whoosh back to empty again. i'm assuming it's the sender unit but have heard this is a major pain to replace and is easier to replace the tank????

Sounds like either the sender unit or one or more of the sensors in the tank (the sensors will be split into segments depending on how full the tank is. Sounds like the 'full' and 'below third full' sensors are broken). Yes, it does sound like a major pain to replace. No idea regarding petrol/diesel tank interchangeability though.
