To answer any questions, My wife says i drive miss daisy most of the time and i'm not hard on the brakes. I still had a small amount of brake pad left which isn't bad after 42,000kms(my previous vehicle Auto VZ SS' brakes lasted 65000kms) but the issue was the rotors and the experts i went to...

Just replaced my brake pads and rotors at 42,000kms ! Apparently a common problem with Navara D40's. Nssan blame your "driving style" and will have nothing to do with it. They quoted me close to $1000 to replace them with the same crap rotors GRRRR, I got new Bendix 4WD pads and Rotors for half...

(Would YOU accept a claim of failure "due to workmanship or defect" ?) Old.Tony , No I wouldn't Which is why I contacted Nissan head office to make sure what the guidelines are and what my Service mechanic has to do to keep within warranty . After speaking with my mechanics they have guaranteed...

My D40 is due for its 40,000km service, Nissan quoted me $1100 for the service. After i wiped the drool from my lip and closed my mouth i got other prices for warranty servicing some $400 cheaper. Shop around i say.

With the addition to our family we decided to buy a new Tent for our next camping trip to Carnarvon Gorge, We like the BlackWolf Turbo Lite range . Has anyone got one ? and What do you think of them? What type of tent have you got and would you recommend it ? Any advice ? Cheers

A lot of creek crossings up here in Qld have a small concrete Causeway and usually have a deep drop off to the sides ! No returning if you slip sideways off them so alot of thinking is required before even attempting one this deep, you usually always walk across to see if it is safe but this...

08KingCab ,Thanks for the advice, I'll investigate new springs cost (fitted) against re-setting cost. Old Tony, Bullbar weight around 100kgs plus 40 kg winch as well as spotties,driving lights aerials etc , put that on your bonnet and see how far it sinks to the ground ! I'll eventually get a...

Hi All, Has anyone ever had their front springs re-set ? After putting a steel bullbar and winch on, the front has dropped about 4" from the weight. A mate told me this may be a cheaper short term fix . Do i also need to put new shocks on to help as well ? I have a D40 stx with 13,000k on it...

Brown Davis from ARB on mine and i've done some serious rock hopping and they've held up quite well.

Getting back on topic i can honestly say my service centre is a joke. Charging me for labour that should be covered under warranty and after lots of arguing and some common sense from the service manager they have agreed to refund me the money . They take forever to get spare parts to me and...

I'd be asking what the hazzard was to keep the speed at 60 ? Good luck Matt

Just done 10,000klm in mine also and love it ! i cant really complain about anything other than Nissan service centres . Mates got a Triton GLX-R and we call it Cindarella's Chariot because of its looks! ugly.

Thanks for the tips, i covered the electricals and sprayed crc and then wiped it all down. It looks good, Brand new again. Cheers Navara Phill
