Hi all, I noticed today the steering column shroud as unclipped at the top and will not clip back on, so Im wanting to take it off to have a look to see if there are broken ones. Does anyone know what type of screws they are? Its not a phillips or torx type, but some other foreign one! Thanks

Hi all, Do driving around on my Maxxis AT tyres today in the wet weather, the D40 is a bit of a handful, especially since Im unladen in the rear most of the time. What are some good tyres which will give good grip in the wet? I know the rear unladen will be easy to spin the tyres in the wet...

Hi everyone, I know it can be hard to diagnose a noise, although I was wondering if this noise (aroud the 20 second mark) is gearbox chatter? Or just the noise a diesel makes. It seems to do it under load, but not all the time. Car is a Navara D40 diesel with a single mass flywheel. Thanks...

Hi all, Firstly, sorry about all these questions i am asking. Its the first diesel car I have owned so Im not used to all this racket the D40 makes :) On my car, at times when Im accelerating with some load on the accelerator, it makes a chatter / knocking noise. Its hard to describe, although...

Hi all Having owned my D40 for about a month now, it's got me thinking (part of this is from threads read on different forums). In terms of reliability of the d40's with high Kms there are the consumable items which need to be looked after ie tyres, brakes, discs etc. How are the major...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem on their utes. The D40 I have seems to be hard to shift into first when stationary. It appears that when its hard to shift and I back it into neutral then shift it, it goes into first a bit easier. I believe the clutch...

Hi all, Looking at purchasing some canvas seat covers for my ute. I'll probably go with Black Duck ones or MSA, although can anyone comment on the fitment of these? More specifically, looking at just regular seat covers, they have the elastic straps which you are meant to pass underneath the...

Hi all, When I was chasing some wiring from the ute body to inside the cab at the rear, I noticed that on the passenger side near the rear vent, there is a hole about 5 cent in size. There is one on the driver size too. Im guessing that there are meant to be grommets in these holes and they...

Hi all, Something that has annoyed me with the D40 is the windscreen in it. The tinting band across the top comes down about 23 cm and being tall, i find that when driving im half looking out of it through the tint and half through the glass. Does anyone have a aftermarket screen where the...

Hi all, just another question regarding the Navara I just purchased. Is it normal for them to blow a bit of smoke? Judging by other threads on here, it seems to be a common thing with the D40's and YD25 engine. Just noticed tonight that going through the gears with moderate acceleration it...

Hi all, I just bought a 07 Navara, so I joined the forum. Have a couple of things Im wanting to get fixed up, the side step is loose. The previous owner said tightening the nut doesnt appear to fix it, so for the factory side steps, it it bolted to the floor via a welded bolt? Any way to fix...
