Somewhat sorry to say that the D40 has gone. It was just time to go. This truck has served us well being used mainly for towing our van all around Aus. The D40 travelled the CSR in style without one problem, which couldn't be said for a couple of other so called tough 4wds on the very same trek...

Thanks all. Old Tony - thats the first thing I tried and the mechanic did the same but no result. Simsy - sounds just like it - I always thought it had something to do with an air leak, when the engine was under pressure. The overall performance was not affected it just made a horrible noise. I...

My 2007 - D 40 (118,000Ks)developed a noise similar to that of a loose fan belt which only appeared after travelling 5-6ks and seemed to be connected in some way to the throttle position. It would come and go as I applied only light pressure to the throttle. It would scream at me under...

I've been using Nulon 5W-30 which is recommended for turbo diesels with DPFs and states that it is suitable for Nissan engines. Its about $12.00 per litre and can be hard to find so I buy it at Super Cheap whenever they have a 20% off sale. Jeff.

Nissan service?? Just another reason I wont take my car to a Nissan or any other car dealer for servicing. Got my own reliable mechanic that actually does what he charges you for. Jeff.

National Muster Have stayed at Terramungamine several times when heading north. Camps Aust Wide 4 No' 831 The area can hold about a dozen caravans plus there is plenty of room for tents on the sometimes grassy areas. Last time there, there was no water apart from a tank at the toilets. The...

D 40 canopy Just picked up my D 40 after having an ARB canopy fitted. Took about 10 days from ordering - $2700.00 fitted and has 2 liftup side windows. Looks great, colour matched perfectly. Now I have the Sports Bars with that tube thing that bolts to the top of the sports bar and a near new...

Thanks all. Not really complaining bout it, its just my fuel consumption figures look better taking Tom Toms figures and I feel better too. Jeff:sarcastic:

Did a bit of a check between my cars odometer and my GPS (Tom Tom) and came up with a discrepancy of 500m in 10ks. Tom said I had gone 10.8ks but my odometer said 10.3ks. Now I've just finished a 16,600+ trip and a discrepancy of this magnitude would affect my fuel consumption figures. Over...

CSR pictures Managed to load a few pics in Members Gallery, no idea how to stick them in here though. Whats a ULR??? Didn't take a lot of stills as we concentrated more on the video camera. Have made my own little Video/DVD so I can invite people around and bore them silly with it...

Travelled the Canning Stock Route last June ( Tag-A-Long) with my D 40 and it went a treat. Not one problem. We were in 4WD continually from Wiluna to Billiluna some 2,000ks over 18 days. Only modification was to suspension (Old Man Emu all round). Used Bridgestone Desert Deuler 693s (the 10ply...

Canopy Had a look at the Ultimates today - they have 2 styles - 1 with push out windows ($2350.00) which would only be good for ventilation, the other has the 2 side lift up windows, spoiler type thingo with brake light, and an interior light - Installed etc for $2750.00. Compares well with the...
