>>the stabiliser linkarm joints have worn out (parts on B/O). <<
My wifes car had them replaced too with a modified part. They do not wear out but can clonk over certain surfaces, I was told it was due to the angle they sit at and a slight amount of wear creates the problem. Of course it is no unique to Daihatsu - my mums Yaris did it, as did my old Daewoo Nubira, and a customer of mine has a Corolla with the same problem and I think my Hyundai Sonata suffered too.
All the reversing sensors fitted to Daihatsu are useless, I think they are connected to the spirit world because they see things which are not there :-)
Of course if it is a choice between a suspension part or a wiring loom, I think I would take the former but each to their own.
