Hi All I remember finding a web site a couple of years ago which listed most makes of vehicles and the faults that they had but I'm unable to find or remember it. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers Dave

Could anyone tell me whether the alternator on the 2.5 D22 is low voltage or not. I'm looking at fitting a dc-dc charger for a duel battery and believe there are different chargers more suited to these alternators. Cheers Dave

I was wondering if anyone has had to have a 3 Litre motor rebuilt of late? A friends motor has done a piston etc at 189000 km and he has been quoted $8500 for a 2nd hand motor with 135000 kms on it or $10000 for a recond motor by a Nissan dealer. I would like to know of anyone elses experience...

When ours cracked (and we had the vehicle from new) we towed a camper trailer with a downball weight of only 103 kg. These bars were rated at up to 300kg download depending on vehicle load. Trailer all up only weighed 1100kg so was well within the specs. These weights were convirmed after we...

Hi Coski We used to have a 2006 D40 which had the same problem. After a lot of hassles with Mr Nissan in which Fair trading bacame involved they offered to replace the towbar and reimburse us the cost of repairing the chassi rail where it had broken. The later bars were changed so that they...

Thanks Rusty You dont happen to know if it fits the new D22 2.5 ltr with the duel batteries do you? Or only the 3.o ltr models? Cheers Dave

Hi all Was just wondering if there is available a reusable air filter suitable for the 2.5 ltr D22. Looks like Unifilter make one but was wondering if anyone else makes one. Had a look at K&N site but they don't appear to make one which is what I would have prefered. Cheers Dave

Hi all I'm wanting to swap the draw system from a D40 STX into a D22 STR (2010 model) and was wondering how they were attached to the tray i.e is it a case of drilling and bolting through the tub and bolting it unlike the D40 which is fixed via the existing tie down tracks. The length on the new...

We tow an Aussie Swag semi off-road campertrailer - 1 tonne fully laden (water etc etc) and about 105kg on the towball. We use a Treg hitch with this. Wonder if you could direct me to the forum with the comparisons please?

Hi all I'm am in the situation where I need to replace my D40. I have been looking at purchasing the D22 2.5td and as far as price goes it seems to be good value. I've noticed on several forums that people are downgrading from the D40 to this model and would like to know why they have done so...
