Thanks Sterlo for your comments

Is your tank 70ltr or larger?

Thanks I'm about to fit Coopers st max's and was wondering before I commit cheers

Some good comments. Will 265/70 x 17 fit std height d40 dual cab without touching suspension etc ?

I am about purchase a long range tank but need some thoughts as to the best built and if I get a 145ltr anyone know how much ground clearance I would lose? I'm looking at tough dog and iron man...Do they make a long ranger? Local ARB only offered aux 70ltr tank.

My 2010 D40's clock started to gain time (about 5mins a day) I reset it twice and it has not faulted since. If it plays up again it'll be back to the dealer.

where can you buy the (17" spain) steel non genuine spares from?

Fellas I am about to buy some AT3's for my D40 with 17"rims but chasing any additional clearance I can get so I want to go up to 265 x 70's Will they fit at std height without rubbing ?

Thanks fellas

So what is the STD engine oil used in a 2010 d40 auto STX....I'd like to carry some spare with me. Just need to know what to buy. Cheers

We've got an offroad van to tow around with the Navara and I'm anticipating around the 16-17 mark...let you know in a fortnights time. Work to be put aside I need to fish...

I'm thinking you're right with the driving habits. I'm more than happy with it.'I dont think it would beat many things off the lights but gees it pulls

I have had my Series 4 auto diesel for 3 weeks now. With no accessories and normal everyday driving I was getting 8.9ltrs/100km. I have just got a ARB deluxe bull bar fitted, a ARB canopy, Liner, driving lights, dual battery system and roof bars. I now get 10.5ltrs/100km. Weight costs but still...

Thanks for the info. We tow at the moment with a Patrol 4.8 which can pass anything except a service station, so I'm hoping for better fuel consumption without significant loss of "grunt". I will take up your comments and suss out the heavier HR model. I've heard of issues with Pathfinder tow...
