I ran mine through the grommet at the front of the tub where the tie down rail ends, if you run the cabling along the drivers side chassis rail it almost ends up at that grommet. There's no need to drill and you can position the cabling out of the way neatly. I've followed Old.Tony's advice...

Not sure if there is a difference between Spanish and Thai in regards to fitting racks, mines Spanish; I don't have notches where the brackets can sit in. With the bracket flush up against the panel the stub that comes out of the bracket sits lower than the hole position, I've moved the bracket...

Question for anyone with prorack bars and fitment, on my D40 the front rack fits real nice, the rear is a different story. The bracket that goes under the weather seal is pushed up and cannot go any higher, it seems to fit OK but the stub that the other bracket fits on hits against my door -...

Thats great news, I purchased a pair of the s-wind aero proracks and was a little concerned when I read the destructions (though I'm yet to fit them). Another question, I notice there are two pieces to the bracket, if you remove the rack can you keep the inner one in place, or do you need to...

Hey nuckin futs, how do you find the pro racks? The install manual states 'weather sealing cannot be guaranteed' - do you find they leak water? Cheers Dave

Thanks for the responses. Old.Tony (or anyone), where would you say the biggest 'leaks' are in the tub - the gaps between tailgate and tub?

After having the under the chassis battery set up removed (I actually didn't mind it there, but had it completely removed and money refunded), I've now mounted a 120AH AGM in the tub. I've got a hard lid and am wondering if there is any issue with a battery and redarc charger in there...

Thanks for the responses gents, out of curiosity, is there any official nissan documentation on the variable voltage alternators? I'm starting to lean more towards c-tek due to the cut in voltage. Having had an orbital in my previous patrol which would run an engel 40L for 3 days; now I've a...

Thanks for the feedback old Tony, is it of concern that the system is activated at > 13.3V? I believe the c-tek cuts in at 12.7V. Am I reading to far into it?

Have had TJM Parramatta totally stuff my dual battery system up and won't take any responsibility for installing a projecta 100 isolator even though its charging the aux battery at 12.5V... Most on here use either the ctek or redarc, I was surfing the web and noticed the sterling DC DC...

First service today, they said it's a 'faulty brake switch', they've ordered a new one and when it arrives they'll notify me to pop round and have it fitted. Strangely enough the VDC light didn't come on today...

I'm experiencing the same with mine - happened at about 700k's on the clock. Time of occurrence is erratic - sometimes after a few minutes of driving other times after about 20 mins, but happens all the time. The button becomes redundant when it happens. It's going in for the first service on...

Thanks for the replies. Thought I'd take a photo of what it looks like: My next dilemma is whether to go for a canopy or lid. Had a look at the alpha GSE-L today, really nice and well priced. Cheers Dave

First post, just got a brand new D40 and am absolutely loving it. I had the dealer fit a dual battery kit and went for the option of having it mounted off the chassis under the drivers seat as I want to keep space free in the tub. I had a slightly closer look this afternoon and noticed that...
