Bump

I just spoke with my local Nissan service department about getting the automatic transmission oil flushed. I've got a 2010 D40 with a V6 petrol engine and 5 speed auto. I've done almost 100k kilometres. The service manager said that those gearboxes use a "lifetime" ATF - never needs changing...

Had a good look at it in my lunch break. It's not silicone between the rail and the tailgate - it's double sided tape. And only 4 rivets - smaller than the ones you've used Manning. Think I'll go with the larger rivets and a couple more of them. Sam

Thanks, I'll slip into Bunnings and pick some up. I mentioned the silicone because there is some stuck to the top of the tailgate. I suppose the original owner may have done that.

I have a 2010 D40 with a soft tonneau cover. When I got to work this morning, I noticed that the rear rail for the tonneau (attached to the tailgate) had come adrift from the tailgate and was sitting in the tray. My questions are: What's the best adhesive to attach the rail to the tailgate? and...

Thanks for your advice thrlskr, I put slotted RDAs and Bendix 4WD pads on my D40 and it has made a big difference. And no dust! Also fitted Safebrake braided brake lines - great product.

Thanks Vigilante, That saved me from buying the wrong part. Cheers

This is gonna sound really dumb to most of you guys, but what is a D40M and what is a D40T? I've seen this on eBay in reference to some spare parts. Cheers Sam :dontknow:

Welcome! You'll find a few stories here about Nissan refusing to honour warranty on 4WD components. But don't let that stop you from enjoying your Nav. I used to be a Hilux man, but my D40 handles the beach much better than the 'lux.

Welcome.

Welcome!

Thanks. That will come in very handy when I do decide to change the plugs.
