Hi, I sold my lovely D40 king cab last week. I had planned on buying a dual cab, but unfortunately I really needed a 2m tray for both work gear and weekends. I found a nice 2011 Patrol ute and plan to remove the passenger bucket and replace it with a bench seat. I just brought it home today, but...

Yes, Tiger that is the plan. Should pick it up on Saturday morning.

I sold her today. Feeling a bit sad, it sounds silly but I will miss her, she was just so reliable and nice to drive. Plus because of her I joined this forum and found a bunch of really great people, who shared their experience and tips on how best to look after a Navara. (Thank you all) She...

Sold. A bit sad, but she has gone to a really good home in Boyanup, WA.

Price dropped to $20,000 ono. I am planning on trading this car in by the end of the week. So the first person that brings me a bank cheque or cash for the dealer trade-in value of this car gets a real bargain. Otherwise she is off to the car yard.

I know exactly what you mean. My 09 D40 groaned every time I turned it off. I drove it around like this for about 6 months (the local Nissan dealer told me it was normal!), before I finally replaced the alternator. That was it, the groan was gone and never came back.

A sad day for me. Started preparing her for sale today. Gave her a wash, polish and took some pictures. She goes in for a service on Thursday and then will be advertised in Gumtree at the end of the week. It will be sad to see her go to a new home. But my daughter has just turned 14 and has...

Hi I decided it was too risky for me to try using an easy-out as even after removing the battery there was insufficient room to follow our forum members advice to centre punch and warning to ensure that I drilled a straight hole down the centre of the broken bolt (Pic 1). I couldn't even see...

Thanks again for your advice. I finished blanking my EGR today. As an avid reader of the forums I have often read how quickly it can be done. In my case I think I may have set a new record for taking the longest. 30 mins to fit the blank, 1 millisecond to go Oh No!! when I sheared the bolt, 5...

Thanks Tony, Stevo & Nathan. You guys are great. I had no luck with the vice grips tonight, so off to Supercheap in the morning to find an easy out. Assuming I can get it out, have you any idea what size bolt I will need to replace it with? The bolt head I sheared off has a 7 on the head, not...

Hi Blanked my EGR today. All went well till a final torquing of the bolts and I sheared the head off one bolt. Any advice on how to get the remnants of the bolt out, or a shop in Perth where I can take my D40 to get the bolt removed? Regards Craig

Thanks bods, (I must get new glasses :) ). So as the UH-090 is 36 mm (H) x 127 mm (W) x 148 mm (D), there is a good chance I can instal my UH-7740NB (126.5mm (W) x 100.5mm (D) x 36mm (H)) in the same spot. Unless of course if the D40 has something under there that a D22 doesn't.

Looks really nice - It looks like a Uniden - which model is it?

Thanks, much appreciated !
