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.

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.
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

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.
