Hello all, its been a while since I last posted so hopefully you'll forgive my absence. I have an electrical/battery related question which I am hoping the brains trust might be able to help me out with (Old Tony is usually pretty good at this sort of stuff). Firstly the background to my...

This post is a few year old now but I am looking to replace the standard stereo in my D40 and this unit sounds very interesting for its plug and play-ability of it. With the post being a few years old I wondered if anybody had any more recent recommendations or is this still a really option...

Valve adjustment? I did a DIY suspension lift and didn't adjust any valves. What should I have done?

Stockton is crap now that they closed all then dunes worth driving on for the protection of the private tour operators profits. Unless you're a fisherman I struggle to see the point of going there. The Stockton bridge is more exciting than the open sections of the beach

Kernel you are spot on, small screw driver in the little hole and it popped straight out

Spent 8 years living in Dubai and did loads of dune driving (boy I miss that) and after having a stick which was sticking out of a sand dune go up between the stock (plastic) "bash plate" and the bullbar and puncture BOTH radiators I got a proper bash plate with no gap between the plate and the...

HI recently sold mine but only got $250 for them. I was happy with that as the tread was shot of them so really I was selling them as rims as the tyres were pretty much done

I have one of these switch panels in the back of the truck to control the 12v stuff: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291402036839 Does anybody know how I change the fuses in these? The red "fuse" covers/buttons don't seem to twist or unscrew and I don't want to pull too...

cheers Tony, I'd hate to blow two batteries up in quick succession.

Tony, wonder if I might ask some further advice. Before I go and kill my repllacement battery is this charger ok to use with the below linked battery? http://en.naradapower.com/Products/SLA/battdata/pdffiles/ACME.F/12NDF100.pdf Also, it doesn't seem to mention one way or the other in the...

Cheers Tony...... And damn, I was hope my mate was wrong and it wasn't my own stupid fault ;0)

Cheers Brad, that would lol awesome, shame I don't still have my old patrol ;0)

I suspect the problem with the old battery is that it was a deep cycle gel filled battery and I charged it with a regular battery charger because it had been discharged completely flat. I have been told since that I shouldn't use an "ordinary" charge and need a charger specific to the deep...

I am looking to replace my second battery in the truck as my old deep cycle expanded and ruptured. Is there any reason these shouldn't be good for the job: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281608886214 I appreciate they are second hand but for the price it seems worth a...

Quick question, I have a chainsaw (Mc Caughloch) which travels in a hard case. Just wondering, does it need to travel level or can the chainsaw be stored upright?

Tony, cheers for the advice, I had heard the same about Wincannia but didn't like to ask too directly. Plan is certainly to avoid it other than for fuel. We are purposely avoiding Warrenbungles and siding springs because we have friends with a farm out that way and will be visiting there later...

I am going to be changing jobs next month and have ten days off between so the wife and I (plus two kids and a dog) are planning to drive out to Broken Hill from Newcastle to have a look and see what's out there (we are pomes looking to see a bit more of this great land) We want the trip to...

Anybody need an extra spare for their D40? I have recently changed my wheels to 16inch rims so have no need for the old spare. Only been used once after a road side puncture so the tyre is near as damn it new (still has the rubber hairs on the sides). Pick up from Caves Beach or if you're...

Not wanting to hi jack your thread mate but I too need to replace my rotors and pads. Was looking at the bendicts pads and generic rotors:: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121308091539 I am happy enough to do the replacement myself but wondering on thoughts on these pads and rotors

Firstly, thank goodness I'm not the only one. Phew I've done the ERG mod and already had to replace my clutch so in rush to go down the clutch frying route. So what is a Windblower?
