Introducing the IVECO Daily (2006-2011), your ultimate workhorse on New Zealand roads. Renowned for its robust construction and extraordinary payload capacity, this commercial vehicle is built for functionality and built to last. At Heritage & Heart, we understand the significance of owning a vehicle that embodies durability and purpose. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes the Daily special and provide valuable insights tailored for owners and prospective buyers alike.
Common issues with the Iveco Daily (2006-2011) include turbocharger failures (especially if oil changes are neglected), injector problems (leading to poor performance and fuel economy), differential wear (due to the high payloads and strain on the drivetrain), rust (particularly in coastal areas), and electrical issues (sensor malfunctions and wiring problems). Suspension wear is also prevalent, and can cause instability at high speeds. The electronically controled braking system may sometimes throw fault codes. Check the condition of the rear springs and related shackles.
WOF tips
During a WOF inspection, pay close attention to: Chassis condition (inspect for rust and cracks, especially around suspension mounting points), brake performance (ensure even braking and adequate stopping power), tyre condition (check for wear and damage appropriate to the load rating), suspension components (worn bushes and ball joints are common), and exhaust system (check for leaks and excessive smoke). Steering play, and the operation of load sensing valves if fitted should also be checked. Given the weight these carry, always check tyre pressures.
About the Iveco Daily 35C10, 35S10
The IVECO Daily truly stands apart with its unique separate chassis construction, which offers unparalleled strength and a remarkable payload capacity. This robust design enables it to excel in diverse applications, from tradesman vans to transforming into a camper. Typically powered by efficient diesel engines, the Daily delivers impressive torque for lifting and hauling heavy loads. However, maintaining this beast is paramount for longevity. Regular servicing, particularly at intervals of around 15,000 km, ensures that vital components such as brakes, filters, and fluids are kept in check. Special attention should be paid to the cooling system—critical for performance, especially nearing the 150,000 km mark. Inspect components such as the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses.

CARFIX stocks 93 SKUs for the IVECO DAILY 2006–2011. You can find brake pads, oil filters, air filters, and more on the CARFIX website or at your local CARFIX store.
My IVECO Daily is losing power and fuel economy is down. What could be the problem?
Loss of power and reduced fuel economy in your IVECO Daily could be due to injector problems. Dirty or failing injectors can significantly impact engine performance. It's also worth checking for turbocharger issues, as these are known to occur, especially if regular oil changes have been missed.
I'm planning a long trip in my IVECO Daily. What should I check beforehand?
Before a long trip in your IVECO Daily, ensure your cooling system is in top condition. Inspect the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses. Also, check your tyre pressures, fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid), and ensure your brakes are in good working order. Given the Daily's heavy-duty nature, a thorough check is essential for a safe journey.
My IVECO Daily is used in a coastal area. What rust prevention measures should I take?
Given that you're operating your IVECO Daily in a coastal environment, rust prevention is crucial. Regularly wash the undercarriage to remove salt buildup. Apply rust-proofing sprays or coatings to vulnerable areas, especially around the chassis and suspension components. Inspect regularly for any signs of rust and address them promptly.
