Hi to all, Thanx yet again for replying to my post. Re the steering limiting bolts...they still have the caps on them.....however from past info gained from this site...I regularly clean them and re grease them with a good smear of moly di. I try not to hold my steering at full lock...

Hi there to All, Titled this thread "Front Sus Noise"......but maybe noise could be something else.!!!!! When transversing (some washouts - rough rocky sections) a LOUD snapping sound is expelled from the front end of my 09 D22. You can "feel" it thru the car......but all...

Engine -Nulon 5W-30 fully synthetic (every 5000klm) Front and rear diff - Castrol LSX 140 I think without looking it up - changed at 10000klm - gearbox / transfer still original oil - to be done when stops raining !!!!! ute has approx 16000klms on it - Nov 09 model

Excellent Question.........where do you / how do you ......connect a boost gauge to a 2:5ltr CRD D22 - 09 onwards. Thanx for your always valuable advice

Maybe , Rascal........you could have my luck - and drop a cab bolt / plate thingy out on a busy road........then have to run back and get it while dodging traffic.........not bad for a vehicle not even 6mths old !!!!!!!!

Hello to all, Is there any reason why you (should) blank off EGR on the passenger side of the "tube like thing with the 2 rubber hoses connected that runs across front of block. On my 09 D22 2:5 CRD - access is heaps easier on the drivers side where the tube assembly bolts onto...

Good Moaning to all, Still reading with interest re EGR blanking......and still seaching for concrete answers b4 doing this mod to my 09 2:5ltr CRD D22. Im led to believe that the D40 has a variable vane turbo - and that the D22 08/09 model doesnt - therefore -for...

Hi Mahooody, Mate I too are STRUGGLING to get informed answers re our 09 2:5ltrs regarding this EGR senario. As I am led to believe.......from this site....our D22s dont have a Varible Vane Turbo....but the D40s do. I dont know the answer .....but is there ANYONE out there...

Hi again to all, Has anybody "blanked off" their EGR on a 2008+ 2:5CRD Nav yet. If so from where did you do it - I dont want to do the wrong thing - yet I cant argue the difference that doing it to my 3Ltr Pootrol made. Thanx in advance for any help / guidance.

Hello Again to All, I did the EGR mod to my 3Ltr Pootrol - and like others - noticed a significant difference.........my Question here is.....Is there an EGR mod that can be done to the 2:5Ltr STr Nav motor ( 08 onwards)......to gain all the benefits that we all know...

Hi there all, ( To 180%JOE )................you will find that the Lokka totally transforms your Nav. Just remember.....it is a traction aid to enable you to drive where you (mainly) drove before.....except alot easier on the vehicle / track. It wont make your vehicle into a...

Hello All, My 09 STR - I fitted a Rancho steering damper (kit) - no problems - the supplied bolts in the kit were long enough - must'nt have that "spacer" thingy mentioned earlier.Works very well - Cheers.

Hi Guys, I also did the same with my 09 D22....till today......Had Hi Tech 4X4 at Penrith install EFS Torsion bars and WOW -what a difference.......still looks the part.....but the ride quality........SO different. ( Did approx 10000Klm with wound up bars......ARB steel winch bar -...

Hello to All, Whilst on the subject of torsion bars - I am not able to provide any guidance re fitting / adjustments------however - like many of you forumites - I too went down the path of " wind up the std bars....etc etc. ". Well yes - I got the desired raised look....( I run...

Good day All, From personal experience - what oils rate favourably for the 09 D22. - more importantly - what grade oil eg....5w/30 - 15w/40 etc etc. Interesting point - Stealership claims the 09 2:5CRD takes round 8ltrs of oil - Oil company websites say 4:3ltrs and when I put...
