Update! I took the 22 elsewhere and they told me - in writing - that brakes did not need changing!
Nissan Australia sent me a text survey on my service so I told them the story,
I had the dealership senior service manager ring me an hour later asking for the truck so he could inspect. Said if...
The fan resistor is different, the cheap eBay ones don't fit later d22.
Contact Nizzbits with the VIN and he will get you the right one.
And they are a bitch to fit!
Nissan HO sent me a how was your service survey and I rated zero out of ten across the board. Told my story in the comments.
Dealer was on the phone within the hour!
I've been asked to bring the truck in tomorrow morning so the brakes can be reinspected. In my presence.
If they DO need changing...
My D22 got serviced at the dealership last week and I got the obligatory mid service phone call to tell me that the front pads were shot, the rotors need replacing and the front hubs rebuilt.
Declined the kind offer and it's nearly $900 quote.
Service notes only stated front pads were in need...

I have respectfully declined this kind offer.
What's the go to supplier for good hard pads and rotors please?
The fuse holder will take fuses to to 60 amps, and on closer examination it appears the cable has worked its way loose, resulting in heat build up. This with the truck having been parked up for a while making the battery greedy when the charger kicked in hasn't helped. Neither was that the fuse...
I've got a redarc bcdc charger mounted next to my third battery in the tub with a 40amp fuse in the line between them.
The fuse hasn't blown, but the plastic fuse holder has melted. Its a 300mm run from charger to battery. The fuse holder is a supercheap item that holds the big glass fuses as...
Fridge data says that at ambient43C it will use 2.3A per hour worst case.
Everything else is worst case the same.
Using Century battery brochure estimator calculator -
So say 5A X 12v is 60 watts.
Drawing for say 10 hours flat out is 600 Wh, plus 30% buffer makes it 780Wh.
So at 80% of battery...
