The IVECO DAILY (2004-2006) is more than just a commercial van; it’s a staple of New Zealand roads, renowned for its unmatched durability and versatile design. A true workhorse, it caters to the needs of delivery companies, builders, and tradespeople alike, ensuring every job is completed with efficiency and reliability.
Common issues include turbo failure (on diesel models), injector problems, and wear in the suspension and drivetrain. Rust can be a concern, especially in coastal areas. Check for worn suspension bushes, noisy wheel bearings, and oil leaks.
WOF tips
WOF inspections will pay close attention to brakes, suspension, steering, and tyre condition, all very important for safety. Overloading is an issue so chassis cracks are possible. Rust is a key concern, especially on the chassis and underbody.
About the Iveco Daily 40 C 14
Constructed on a sturdy truck-like chassis, the IVECO DAILY offers an impressive load capacity and a variety of body styles, including cargo vans, cab chassis, and minibuses. Typically equipped with reliable diesel engines, it strikes a balance between power and fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for those needing to move goods and materials. However, like any hardworking vehicle, the DAILY requires regular maintenance – particularly for parts prone to wear and tear. Commonly needing replacement are the brake pads and rotors, which should be checked during routine services. Regular service intervals, generally recommended every 10,000 km or annually, keep it running smoothly.
Additionally, attention is needed around the 150,000 km mark for the cooling system; parts like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses should be thoroughly examined to avoid overheating issues. This naturally links to the Cooling category for easy access to parts. The suspension may also experience wear, especially for those carrying heavy loads consistently, so don’t forget to look out for worn suspension bushes. Regular brake services, such as the Front Brake Service and Rear Brake Service, are essential to ensure safety and performance in daily operation. If any oil leaks are spotted, it may be worthwhile to check the engine seals and gaskets, accessible through our Engine Parts category.
