Perodua Nippa can't stand the rain. Why?

- Our Perodua Nippa (Kancil in Malaysia, Daihatsu Mira before that) starts behaving like an old Mini, and starts spluttering in the rain. Watch as I diagnose the fault, quite incorrectly, then have another go. Can I cure the misfire?
I'm pleased to report that all is now well. Was meant to be a more involved video, but I've so little time for stuff at the moment! In this one, we're way back in time to start with, when the Starlet was still being worked on, and it actually rained.

Nicely done, it's a very satisfied feeling to change a part and fix it
Hi Ian nice easy fix glad it sorted the problem, going to try the same on my focus next week as I am having a slight miss fire as well. Keep up the good work.
Hai buddy, good to see our perodua (daihatsu) in UK. regards from Malaysia
Hi Hubnut. Attempted to write a comment on your live chat earlier. Just a quick one to say I have watched all of your videos and am a big fan of your work. Very entertaining and a great source for self tutorials. Keep up the great work. Best Regards
Shaun
Thank you!
Nice to see it getting some love, the unsung hero of the fleet
The centre pin on the distributor cap is sometimes called the king pin. Great video as always cheers.
Sometimes we have the urge to rev the engine when it's sick and it's never solved anything for me but I still do it.
Nice simple fix in the end for the nippa.
Another great video, I do like to see the great Nippa. I noticed you blocked Ms hubnut out of view at the end. Good too the Nippa is running strong.
Started right up. Sounds strong.
Cool cars and pretty smiles from girls always nice. My old 71' vw bus seemed to run stronger on rainy days. On the other hand it could have just been in my head. Good fun video, all the best.
Rich & Sue-way Kat watching and enjoying from LA California USA. To beautiful Wales.
Happy days, job done on the nippa,dont see many of these around.especially low mileage ones.
Nice to see the true boss !
Ahh, GT85. I'm always tempted to spray everything when I have a tin in my hand as well!
I used to find carbon core HT leads tended to degrade more rapidly than copper core.Usually ended up making my own copper core with decent suppressors. Like the welsh weather simulation.Nice job.
Simon here... Well done as a happy wife is a happy life. 😋
I do love a triple. I've had a couple, Daihatsu Hijet(s) and the fastest of the lot a Triumph 675 Street Triple. In the Hijet with the body thrumming it sounded almost 911-esque, almost. Perfect primary balance for the win :-)
I love your meter sir 🤘
Mrs HubNut....... The 'silent' movie star! ;-)
Great to see the good doctor.... and good lady...
Shiatsu Miras are still a popular mini car here in OZ , which says a lot. Anything which is no good soon disappears from the scene, such as Chery's or Great Walls.
That little three cylinder sounds very characterful!
04:10 Did think the induction noise was surprisingly loud!
also can ckeck spark plug wires at night when it is dark then you can see sparks jumping
Your wife been smoking the good stuff
Water electricity and you with a big Afro what could go wrong 😉😂😂. As always a great video.
I had the same problem on my last Acclaim where it would run badly in heavy rain. New HT leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm fixed the problem.
I rented a 3 month old micra last year in ireland, in the rain it as good as can be expected of a new car, but as soon as it occasionally stopped raining the thing would run as rough as bumholes. Also had a terrible voltage drop on motorways my phone and satnav charger beeps when the voltage is low.
Love simple easy to get to engines
I was having the same problem with my beetle, and I thought it might’ve been the distributor cap, it was the coil.
WD40 sprayed inside the distributor cap. I had a '85 Isuzu PUP that did this. Also a GMC truck that had brakes that chattered when the humidity was high. No WD40 on the rotors, though.
Thanks for the shtickers Ian.
It's only just dawned on me that the Nippa is like a modern version of the 2CV.
This was the last truly simple car money could buy. In terms of equipment, the only luxury is a rear wiper. It cost £4995 new. A 2CV in 1990 cost around £3000. I think only the 1-litre Skoda Estelle, Yugo Zastava and Fiat 126 were that cheap.
wouldn't the base model sandero be a simple car for the price? Hardly any electronics and no fancy exterior features
Still has plenty of electrickery, including hill start assist, electronic traction control, ABS, tyre pressure monitoring, airbags, emergency brake assist and power steering. The Nippa has none of these things. I'll grant you, the Dacia info does make mention of the heated rear window, which is always a sign of a car with little to shout about.
OK, I know you folks use different English than we do across the pond, quite entertaining at times to those of us not used to it, but dizzy cap? That I have never heard before.
At my country they name it perodua kancil ( dear ) , mostly owner of this perodua nippa change everything from nippa to daihatsu mira
Just like the good old days , when my mini would cut out at the first puddle . Because the Dizzy was stuck right out in the weather behind the grille .
just having rummage through your vids and have a question .... What happened to the caravan? Can of petrol n box of Swan Vesta maybe
I sold it to someone in a historic caravan club. It has been restored!
Hello greeting from Indonesia . I am daily driving a "Daihatsu Ceria" just another rebadge of Perodua Kancil. it is already over 390k km in odometer (engine overhauled twice 😂) , fuel consumption roughly about 10-12 km per liter 🤣. No plan to get rid of it, because its dimension is the only one that fits in front of my house 🤣
Bang kalau saya punya mobil 18km per 1 liter..usia udah 23 tahun..
Making The Nippa Run More Sweetly Than Ever! Those New Parts Will Give That Extra Reliability To The Nippa,s Already Punchy Engine! I'm Sure I Noticed The Daihatsu Name On The Engine Cover?? Or Maybe I Was Seeing Things?? As Never Realised The Perodua Had A Daihatsu Engine!????
My old Corsa didn't like the rain, apparently, it was a fault with early Corsa Bs, you could even get a Vauxhall cover for the distributer, not that it helped much.
Always wanted a Perodua nipper such a rare car what even happend to Perodua in the uk
Not sure really. I think people decided finance and a Ford or Vauxhall was a better idea. Muppets.
good evening ....mrs hubnut
Either its the way the mike was picking up the sound or the tappets need adjusting / new lifters needed, that was a fair old rattle going on.
I think the mic just focusses on higher frequencies. The Starlet engine is smooth as silk, but sounds like an ill-adjusted Simca according to my phone.
Ill-adjusted Simca ! now there's a noise i haven't heard clattering down the road for many a year, mind you a badly adjusted Frod cross flow sounded like a thrashing machine.
Spraying water on HT leads can have undesirable effects if the system isn't right, bit like looking for a gas leak with a candle. Sounds slightly boggy when you throttle it, if it has a vacuum advance it would be worth a check to see if it's working OK. Timing strobe and a good suck on the hose will tell you.
Seconds after I fitted the HT leads, Mrs HubNut drove off into some hideous rain. Car was fine. Sorted.
Glad you aren't selling this! Not many of these are kept in good condition
We've owned it for three years!
Strange that HT leads should need replacing after just a year Ian. Mrs H looks suitably impressed!
Yes, it is a bit odd. Same bloody make too having checked my invoices!
Less than impressive I would say.
Now I know why you're such a happy guy - the lovely Mrs HubNut.
Yeah, we're not together anymore...
Certainly an odd, but not unpleasant, sounding engine the 3 cylinder, a friend's VW Up! sounds equally as odd (if a bit more growly than the Nippa)
I love three-pot engines. They amuse me greatly with their wannabe-Porsche soundtrack.
you mean kancil?
So you need to replace the HT leads every year then? Many years ago I used TV aerial cable for an HT lead on a single cylinder motorbike, it worked but probably cause a lot of RF interference. Cheap though!
Yes, it does seem they lasted just a year. Bit disappointing. Even more disappointing that I've just looked it up, and I bought the same make last time!
Get yourself some co-axial cable at less than £1 per metre.
Errrr.... and the dielectric strength of that is?
I have no idea, but it works. As I sold the bike I have no idea how long it works for though. Might have to use a bigger supressor to keep the RF down.
If you love Nippa (Kancil) so much then why don't you visit Malaysia. Those car legends are still on the roads today in our country.
And when you're there make a vlog for your fans you know just to make your channel grow.
The Toyota is back? I really got confused. Timelines are a bit wonky in HubNut´s channel
This is an older video.
@@HubNut i missed the warning text at 2:20
What's the orange light on clocks on for
Handbrake.
Nice car. This is a daihatsu made in malaysia?
Yes. I think Perodua still makes ex-Daihatsus. Not sold here anymore...
Is that the same engine the Charade used?
Depends on generation. The 'smiley' Charade G100 used a 993cc engine (CB). These have a slightly different engine with 847cc (ED).
Did it have an inlet leak?
Couldn't find one. Was a bit odd.
Ian try to fix the metal bar! how can you stand it beeing rusty?
It's on the list. As is getting rid of the foam on the bonnet that caused it to rust in the first place! Sadly, it's been on the list for about two years now...
HubNut the same thing happened on the ds rear door! the foam.inside it trapped all the water and now its all rusted :-(
Love a 3 cylinder.
when was this? we haven't seen rain in ages.................oh wait its Wales lol
We haven't had rain here since I fitted the new HT leads...
Please spend the summer travelling the UK changing leads daily - we need the good weather lol
It looks like Rachel uses the Nippa for secret biscuit feasting! Don't tell her I said that!
I have my suspicions...
Hey i got a Kancil too
any chance i can come and clean your garage! Its not doing my OCD any good :)
Sorry. I like it just the way it is. It's already had one tidy this year!
love the vids keep it up :)
I use this car daily in Malaysia..
It doesn't have a coil pack?
Nope. One coil, on the bulkhead.
And points too?
No. Electronic dizzy at least.
I tell you what it sounds sporty when you rev it from the engine bay
you again?
Sounded to me like " fart fart fart rattle rattle" ...
Mrs Hubnut - the Socialist? Labour posters 🤩😜

Time two to get a Lexus or a supra 30 turbo had one 15 yers ago wish i Had it know love rover 75 gt cars
Nah. I like minimal power!
Probably the last car to have a distributor.
That's an interesting point to ponder. I wonder if it was?
Russian Lada models like the Niva, Riva and Samara had distributors AND carburettors up to the mid 2000's
I know that Proton Iswara's Malaysian spec ones had carb engines till 2008.
Im guessing the Nippa was certainly the last car in the UK to have a distributor or a lack of alot of things like power steering, ABS, A/C etc as it was nice and simple. It's the reason why it's cheap to run and fix and probably the cheapest car to buy back in 1998-2002. The Kelisa was a massive leap for Perodua.
Kancil/Nippa also lasted until 2007 here in Malaysia.
Compared to the one on my Volvo 740, that looks like a fairly easy distributor cap to change :)
Aha a Labour man too, you Sir have gone up in my estimation :) Took us three days to get the clutch cable out of my Reliant cos I be too pie-ridden to get behind the clutch pedal at the clevis pin, wish I had recorded it as it was funny, I tried sitting between seats with me legs out the tailgate, tried from the passenger side and got stuck upside down with a handbrake in me ribs hehe Daughters skinny as a rake bloke got it in the end so now the fun is to get the new one in but I am thinking with the pedal floppier than a chav after 20 cans of special brew, might be easier... Whats your view on Seat Ibiza 1.4's? The slightly Spanished up Polo I have been told? My youngest has one and its very clean with the sporty leather interior too from the Audi TT engined big brother but having probs draining battery, have rebuilt the battery terminal pack but leave it a night after a charge and its deader than tank tops O.o
I must admit, my wife is a Labour party member, but my politics are pretty open. I have no allegiance to any. Can't say I know much about Ibizas other than I'd love to try a Mk1.
Weren't the pre-VW ones with Porsche designed or tuned engines or something like that? I''m a humanist which is basically be nice to everyone cos its just nice to be nice to everyone for a change (with plenty of tea) hehe
so its doing what most ppl do in rain, complane and not want to work, hmm i wonder if it wil start claming benafits and saying can't work in rain
It won't. It's a hard working car. It knows its place.
All the best dash boards are covered in biscuit crumbs
Sounds a bit tappety but maybe that's normal.
Camera fibs a bit. Makes everything sound clattery.
So Mrs Hubnut's a messy eater in the car then, ehh?
Her approach to car interior tidiness is much like my approach to garage tidiness...
Your Mrs doesn't say a lot in your video's. Is she camera shy?
She wasn't prepared with a script. She didn't know I was about to film that bit to be fair. She talks in other videos.
Mrs Wifnut
Rachel is looking far to guilty at the end there lol.
sounds like it’s missing four cylinders...
It certainly doesn't have four cylinders. It has three. Which is better.
Just always keep your wife happy !!!!!!!!
idle seems very fast
I'm starting to think this is just what Japanese cars do. It reaches a point where the idle drops about 500rpm, after a few minutes.
'Older' fuel injected japanese cars often do, my dad had an 01 Primera 1.8 and 05 Avensis 1.8 (i know it isnt really old but still) both of which did it, my mother's old 98 and 03 Micras used to do it too, as does a friend's Suzuki Jimny. The list goes on really (interestingly my 2010 Yaris doesnt, so they must have 'fixed' this issue)
Certainly must have been a thing for a time. My Honda S-MX and Lexus LS400 certainly did it. As did the Nissan Bluebird with its auto choke carburettor!
My Dad had a Subaru Justy in the 90s. They had a semi-automatic choke which had to be cocked with a press on the throttle pedal when cold. It would then rev its nuts off until the choke closed. It was a cracking little car though - it'd go places in the snow that gave Land Rovers problems!
Our Micra considers itself warm about half way down a local hill on the commute and you suddenly get a little extra engine braking. :)
Malaysia has not one, but two monsoon seasons....You'd think they'd be buttoned up!
69Phuket they usually just pull up on the side of the road and wait it out, it usually only lasts 20 mins.
I bet he won’t pin this
You win that bet.
Bit of vaseline over the connections and it'll be fine... :P
That's what she said.
Noticed the posters, good man :-). #VoteLabour #JC4PM
My wife's posters. I have no allegiance.
jamieclayton9: 100% Jamie! ;-)
Love the Vote Welsh Labour banners 👍
May have accidentally contained some politics...
Kindling for the long winter months.
heard the engine seen the rain and knew is was a primary ignition fault with in s a few seconds. vote labour
Blame labour .....
