The IVECO Daily van is a familiar sight on New Zealand roads, a true workhorse trusted by tradespeople, delivery services, and adventurers. Known for its durability and adaptability, the Daily is not just a vehicle – it’s a commitment to getting the job done right. This robust machine has carved a niche for itself, being the first choice for those who rely on performance, no matter the task at hand.
Common issues include: Suspension wear (especially if heavily loaded), rust (particularly around the sills and wheel arches), turbocharger problems (if equipped), and differential issues (listen for unusual noises). Regular servicing and grease are vitally important to keeping it in great condition over NZ's steep roads.
WOF tips

About the Iveco Daily 35 C 15
The IVECO Daily (2001-2006) combines versatility with practicality, available in multiple configurations that cater to heavy-duty demands. Its reputation for reliability makes it an invaluable work companion, especially as it ages. To keep your Daily performing at its best, implementing a routine of preventative maintenance is crucial – inspect suspension components and address common issues such as suspension wear and turbocharger problems regularly. Notably, service intervals around 150,000 km should include a thorough check of the cooling system, including vital parts like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses. This proactive approach keeps the Daily running smoothly and reduces unexpected breakdowns.
When it comes to safety, regular servicing of the braking system is essential. Our Front and Rear Brake Services ensure essential components like pads and rotors are up to standard, and we recommend routine oil service to maintain engine health and longevity.
