Hi all been an absolute age since i last posted on here :) I still have the same 2010 D40 but last week it left us on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night. Problem? Blew the snot out of the head gasket. There is a coolant passage right at the front of the head above...

Hi all been a very longtime! Quite a few major life changes but still have the Nav :) So need some help with a 4wd selection problem. Last week i had to reverse a digger on a trailer up a steep driveway so poped the nav into 4lo and all was well. Then when it was time to go selected 2hi and took...

Well a strange gremlin has cropped up with the d40. After a drive and the engine is turned off (and i have exited the truck) the doors wont remote lock for approx 50 seconds. Its not a biggie but a right pain when its pishing down in bunnings carpark! Tried a ecu reset but no change. Also...

Approx five months ago the boost solinoid on the d40 failed leaving me in the middle of nowhere with no boost. It was replaced by a nissan dealer in the area and all has been go untill now. Over the last couple of weeks i have noticed a kind of thumping noise at idle so i went on the hunt to...

Hi all can anyone tell me where the fresh air intake for the aircon/heater is? I suspect i have an exhaust leak as i get a sulphorus smell when loading the engine and after a 300km trip today i think i had carbon monoxide exposure. Feel really crap. I did have a warped manifold repaired a few...

Well its time to do a tyre rotation. I have cooper 33s on the d40. I asked the tyre shop guys why they only shifted the tyres front to back rather then side to side as well. They said the tread 'takes a set' in one direction and they would be noisey if rotating the opposite direction. Well they...

Hi all Can anyone enlighten me on the difference in the following injector part numbers? As far as i can tell they are both for the euro iv yd25 navara. My truck came with 16600 eb70a injectors which are stuffed after 180k The replacement units i am trying to get to work are 16600 ec00e. Both...

Approx 25k ago i had new munroe heavy duty shocks fitted. They were really good for a while. Then about 10k ago i fitted dobinson hd front springs, ironman rear 100kg leaf springs and cooper maxx st 33" tyres. All was going great and really happy until last week. I had to do anout 100km on a...

Got the dreaded timing chain rattle on my 1974 commer camper van so decided to replace the chain and tensioner. Took under two hours and total cost including oil change....12 pounds sterling. Did the same on the nav Took five weeks and cost just under 5k nz doller... Ill leave the math up to...

Well i am now well and truly sick of the rubbish brakes on the D40. Its not that they are bad as such. There is so much pedel travel before anything happens that its really annoying. I think they make a 'feature' of it and call it progressive pedel. Crap design would be more correct! Second...

Hi all, I have for some time been considering installing a water/meth injection setup but i have a question... I am looking at a coolingmist kit, the progressive one. My question is this, how hard would it be to set it up with two tanks. One water the other meth. The idea being at low boost...

Right i have had the 33" Cooper ST MAXX tyres on for a week or so and done around 2000km so far. I was a little worried as to how they would affect the overall performance of the vehicle so i have drawn up this wee list of how you can expect them to alter your D40 too. I have a thai built 126kw...

I am sure i saw it on here somewhere but cant find it now. Anyone know the procedure to get ALL the lights on the dash to come on. I would like to see how many of the 'unused' icons actually have lights in them. Thanks in advance

Hi all Having spent a heap of money last week on gear for the truck i thought i would start a build thread that i can update as each job is done. First to get done is the bull bar. Its a MCC Falcon and for the price i am very impressed with the quality and fit of the bar. Delivery was so fast i...

Does anyone still use the 27mhz band on here? Inheretid a Roberts rcb-55 and antenna. Wondering if its worth setting up?:confused3:

Well i jacked up the truck today to see how it will look with the 2" suspension and 1" body lift. Have to say it looks awsome! Gives the truck a much more aggressive stance and heaps better clearance. Did a bit of measuring as i would like to get the MT 33s on it too. For the life of me i cant...

Posting here as i think this is a drive line issue but who knows? I have been trying to trace the source of a deep growling, resonant noise. Its most obvious at 40kmh but is there to a lesser extent either side of that. It is not affected by load or engine revs. Its the same in D or any gear. It...

Hi all I am just about to put in a new blower resistor but dont want to fit it yet as there seems to be some water getting into the system. This is what caused the original resistor to rot and shit itself. Question is where is the fresh air intake and how can i stop any water getting in there...
