Hi there landmannnn. The Haynes manual didn’t say to put the coolant in at 1.5 litres per minute. For Christ sake if I’d have known that I would have followed the instructions. Bloody hell it’s kind of obvious when you think about it. I just dumped it all in. Rookie mistake. So do you...

Hi everyone. So I drained out all my old coolant on my 2009 Navara. Flushed out the system and filled up with coolant. I was bleeding it for about half an hour and still I had bubbles coming out of the system. I followed the instructions in the manual. Turned the heater on full...

Hi there. I want to clean the rear window on my navara but the canopy is sitting right up to it. The only way I can get to it is to undo the canopy over the rear bed and slide it back. A couple of the bolts holding it into the rear bed have rusted and just spin round. I’ve had a look...

Just following on from this original query, I have been doing some research and I am fairly confident that the problem is a faulty stepper motor. So I was wondering how accessible are they? Do I have to take the whole dash off or just the lower parts where the plastic curves underneath? If...

Cheers Old Tony. I was thinking it might be something like a knackered capacitor or a solenoid? It sounds like there’s a bloody mouse chewing through something. To be honest I’ve just got used to it. But I thought I might take that part of the dash apart and have a look.

Hi all. Ive had my D40 for 4 years and ever since the first day ive had this really annoying clicking and whirring sound from behind where the heater and fan dials are. It’s as if there’s a solenoid clicking backwards and forwards. It even does it when I switch the engine off and take the...

O Once again thanks for your insight into this one Old Tony. I should add that if I put my foot on the gas just a little bit it passes and everything is smooth afterwards until I go back down the gears. I’ll get underneath it at the weekend and give the drive shafts a good shake. It may be...

Hi All, I recently had a new clutch fitted on my D40 and theres a vibration around 1200 rpm mostly in 4th gear, anyone have any ideas?

Haha nice one Old Tony. I think I’ll need 2 buckets then. There’s no way I’d cut down to that little amount of beer. Just one other thing? The coolant that was in the radiator from the last service was green but in the Haynes manual it says blue? I’ve been on this forum before about this...

Cheers Old Tony. Forgive me for being thick. So I’m thinking, drain all the coolant and then turn on the garden hose into the radiator and then let the engine idle while it runs through then Turn off the engine and let the last of the water run out, then top up with coolant?

Just following on from the EGR issue. I ran out of coolant when the pipe crapped out and I just ripped it up with water to get me home. So I need to drain whatever is left in there and top it up again. When doing a full system flush do I have to remove the thermostat or can I leave it in situ?

Sorry I should add mine is a Spanish D40.

Cheers old Tony. Thanks for the reply. Mine is a 2008. I’ve seen this blanking plate kit online. It’s just a cheaper alternative to buying a new pipe. And if there’s no issues just bypassing it I’ll go some this route.

Hi all. Went on a small road trip recently and the EGR pipe on my D40 shat itself. Poured coolant out everywhere. I took it to a local shop and the guy did a quick fix to by pass it. It got me home. So I was on the internet looking for a decent aftermarket pipe. The dealership ones...

Hi All, I can here a strange sort of whirring sound coming from the rear of my Navara, it does it when its under load and when I pop into neutral. I jacked up the rear and spun both wheels by hand thinking it was a wheel bearing but I couldn't hear anything that really stood out? Any ideas?

Cheers mate. I was coming to that conclusion. Should I flush the system out with de-mineralised water first? Or can I just use ordinary tap water?

Hi Everyone, i am currently doing a service of my D40 and I cannot work out what coolant to use, in the Haynes manual it just says use Nissan Coolant, thats all and I have checked out Supercheap and they just say use the green stuff. Can I just grab the ready mixed green stuff and use that?

Hi All. I’ve got a few surface rust spots on the cab roof of my navara. I’ve watched upteen you tube videos on how to sort light rust spots and to be honest they’re all pretty hopeless. It’s just a bit of surface rust. Just wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on how to tackle...

Cheers old Tony.
