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...

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...

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...

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...

Looking at an Ultimate canopy for my D 40 - on E Bay for around $2300 - Anything known about them?? - They look OK. Thanks Jeff.

Im installing a lead direct from the battery to the rear seat area to run my camp fridge instead of using a lighter socket. I want to install a switch on the dash so I can turn it off when I want to. I have a basic push-pull switch which has 2 terminals but cant remember whether I attach the...

Been looking for a cheaper fuel filter for my 07 Navara and found this one on E Bay Motors and was wondering if anyone had tried them. Sakura Fuel Filter for D 40 2.5 diesel 2005- Part 16400-EC00B $69.93 + $14.90 delivery. Had a squizz at mine and numbers etc are the same and it looks the same...

The plastic strip on the tailgate end of my soft tonneau cover has become brittle and is slowly falling to bits meaning that soon Ill be unable to lock the cover down. The cover is just 18 months old and has not had a lot of use. Anyone else had this problem?? Jeff.

Great service from Prestige Communications - ordered radio 2pm Tuesday - arrived Cranbourne 12noon Thursday from W.A. - with Xmas etc I wasn't expecting it until next week!! OK so now to fit it. Electronics shouldn't be a problem -squeezing the wires and antenna cable through the firewall...

Been reading up on the various UHF radio antennas and came across an article stating that there is a different antenna for petrol and for diesel vehicles. Can anyone enlighten me on this one as I've not heard of this before. Thanks. Jeff:dong: Google "Lake Macquarie Communications" website

Has anyone tried to raise the tub height on a D 40. I have a need to temporarily carry 10 gerrycans but I cant stand them upright in the tub with the cover on without damaging the cover. Was thinking of removing the aluminium channel, adding a 80mm strip of aluminium or steel strap all around...

Have to take out the rear seats in my 07/D40 - looks easy enough, just a few bolts etc but there are these rubber plug things that Im not to sure how to remove. I do not wish to destroy them in the process if possible - so asking if anyone has taken theirs out and can it be done without...

Hi all, I have a 2007 Navara Tdi stx auto- a red one - they go faster- it is used mainly as a tow vehicle for our 21ft caravan. We have had it for just 12 months and have since towed our van 20,000ks without any problems. I find that it does use a bit more fuel when towing than I thought it...
