Howdy all, Been a while.. I think the last time i posted, I had a D40. Now I've got a NP300, 2017 model Automatic, and she's been great. However, recently I've noticed a problem. My car appears to be "stuck" when changing gears. A few examples: Reversing: I get in the car, start as per...

So i traded in my D40 for the D23 in july last year. Been driving around without even considering how many km's i'm getting per tank. Started tracking the numbers two weeks ago - and same problem as indicated here. Warning kicks in at DTE 150km, at 100km DTE it stops tracking - and once I fill...

Went into JB Hi Fi yesterday to buy the pioneer head unit and reversing camera. The Head unit was marked at $327 with 30% off bringing the price down to $260, and I was chuffed that I was stealing a bargain. It wasn't until the guy helping me made the comment, "Now, you're aware that if you...

Legend. Thanks!:top:

thanks for the replies - I'm currently looking at both suggestions, as well as a third - a friend of mine got a wireless reversing camera & monitor. It negates the need to run power from the monitor back to the camera. Unsure as to reliability etc, still reading up. I was in the nissan...

Hi All - Today I got a lesson in "blind spots" on my Navara. Having checked my surroundings twice, I promptly reversed in to a tree stump. Going a little faster than I should have, The damage is considerable and I'm looking at a nice repair bill. I make myself feel better by telling myself...

OK - Here's the state of play - I've had pneumonia for a few weeks, and on top of that the light hasn't been good enough (too overcast) for the assessor to come out. Finally caught up with him last week, was a nice guy, took one look at it and said "Yeah.. thats not good enough" Car went to...

In the end how did you fix it? The assessor has told me he will be present for the repair and will oversee the whole thing.

Heard from the assessor this morning, whilst he hasn't been out to look at the car yet, he said he's been in contact with the repairer who advise they're happy to repair the car but will need it all day. All day to buff a few panels? As it turns out, the dirtier the car is, the easier it is...

I rang my insurer. Said I'm not happy with the repair, that I've already taken it back once, and they've failed to reply to my second email. They have offered to organise everything from here and will organise the assessor to be present when rework is done. Buffer burn requires a repaint...

What is causing it? This was supposed to fix the scratches that would "buff out" the first time. I've polished my car every three months for 2.5 years and never had this issue. What are they doing wrong?

Hi All, Just looking for advice on the quality of the repair job on my truck. After patiently waiting 8 weeks for my car - I received it back with a brand spanking new front end. Everything from the windscreen forward had been replaced. Admittedly I was disappointed to find on arrival that...

So... a few things. My car is back, and the repair looks absolutely amazing. Entire new front end, every panel on the front, including the grill and headlights was replaced. It looks like a new car. But. I don't understand why you would go to all that trouble of of airbags, replacement...

Thanks :) Nearly lost it towards the end there - but its all happening now - Confirmed with the smash repairer yesterday that the airbags have been installed. So thats a huge win! They did however tell me that when they started the car a "transmission oil" warning came up, telling them to...
