ICE: Internal Combustion Engine...........

Series 6 RX - 2012. 300,000 km. Still on original clutch, and all original brake pads/linings, Steel 'hot pipe, EGR defeated at 60,000km. Replaced rear shocks at 250,000, and Just replaced the Boost Control Solenoid, and washed out inlet pipes and Intercooler. Still going well (fingers...

Hi, The 2008 will have a dual-plate clutch, the much stronger single-plate clutches started to come in with the Series 6 in 2012. As an aside, I've just had my 300,000 km service done, and original clutch is just fine!

Tyre Circumference: Just to be technically correct, the important measurement is "Rolling Circumference" - can be different from static, or off-vehicle measure, especially if 'airing down'.

Tony's right. Symptoms indicate NPS (neutral position Sensor) faulty; in top RHS of gearbox, can only access from the top.

WOMBAT...... LOMBARD..... FIGJAM...... Not TLA's, but appropriate at times.

No probs at all. The extra 'oomph' from the higher CCA spins the engine up well.

+ 1 for the Century - fitted to two '12 Navaras in the family. They are a 'squeezy' fit!

Adding to the above, instead of a full-size & thus heavy two-wheeler, there are now available 'EV' full-size scooters, eg the Super Soco CPC - see latest (Feb.'22) edition of 'Australian Motorcyclist'.

Thx - file received; May be able to figure it out now! Weird how different results from different vehicles?!

Hi OMB, just to clarify, I don't use the Power switch on shutdown, just the Ignition. And yes, would like the PDF of the info - can you attach files to PM's? Otherwise, I'll send email address via PM.

Hi, Similar vehicle, RX 'MNT',this radio. Checked yesterday, switch off with USB active, and is active immediately on next startup. [Manual supplied with ute doesn't reference this radio, annoying trying to sort out 'phone integration!]

Hi, Agreed to check the Brake (& Clutch) switches first. On my case, same symptoms, it was an intermittent fault with the NPS (Neutral Position Switch) on the top front of the Gearbox, accessible from the top by removing the console. Diagnosed initially by holding the Gearshift to the left...

VSK is the start of the VIN - VSK = Spain built, MNT = Thai built. More annoying little differences in the D40's than you'd think!

Thanks for that. Filed away with other 'neat tricks'!
