Thanks for that I will have a search. There no faults coming up on the scan tool so don't think its ABS related.

Hi Everyone I am just finished a major rebuild of a Navara just purchased and during the test driving I have found that the Odometer is going up at 4 times the speed. just driving from the back yard to the front shows 200m instead of 50m and once around the block should show 500m comes up with...

Thanks for that, I will change back to genuine at my 1000km service on my new engine.

Wasn't sure what the Spain type filters where like and I was given a thai one which I thought would be cheaper and easier to service, however if the Spain type are better I will stay with them. Is there a brand that is better or are Ryco ok?

Thanks for that that's great to know. I just rang the manufacturer of the Alternator Bursons sold me and they have sold me the wrong one, it only suited thai ones so that was the problem after a day of studying, chasing wires and finding fuses. but at least not having a smart alt that is one...

I know this is an old post But does anyone know how to do this to a spain built 08 yd25 model as the plugs are all different in the fuse box. I have just fitted a new alternator after fitting a new engine and it worked for 3 hours then no charge so thought I would try this before taking the...

Hi everyone I am wondering is anyone has changed there Spain type fuel filter to the Thai type with the priming pump on the top. I have looked at doing it how ever the water sensor on the Spain filter has 3 wires and the Thai has only 2 wires so not sure what to do. Also is the Spain filter...

Thanks for the reply. I am about to order one of the boiler tube manifolds so the egr is out. I might ask if they can ad a port to it. The cast dump pipe would be fine just I have never had to drill and tap into one before and wasn't sure if they where prone to cracking or if they are thick...

Will be long overdue for a turbo. I just fitted 3 Melett turbo cores (to d40s) manufactured in the UK only $370 delivered and good quality. (from Turborebuild.co.uk)

Yes from a company that was set up up by an Australian and there is always an Aussie they're running it and doing quality control. Not every thing from China and Asia is crap just most things thats why I was researching to weed out the crap ones. I once worked for a Mercury outboards as an...

Hi all Has anyone drilled and tapped the factory cast dump pipe to fit a EGT probe or is there a better way or place.

I just fitted the ETP head and the quality looks good and after talking to the machine shop I use I didn't realise they sold them and have done for 10 years. They say they have only every had a few problems with them in that time and it was only the odd bolt hole not being in the perfect...

Hi TravNavD40 Thanks for the offer, But I think I will go with the ETP head. They look good and the manufacture does actually respond to people on facebook and they have an outlet in Melbourne. so I think its worth a try. Just thought I would see what other people had used. I am lucky that...

Hi All, I am just in the middle of a Yd25 engine build for a D40 I just bought that had a broken timing chain. I need to buy a new complete cylinder head and am wondering what brand I should buy? I have been looking a ETP made in china ($1450) that still look ok, and then the most of the others...
