    D40 Roof mounted lights - where to run power wires?

    I have a switch wire running from the cab into the tray via an existing hole behind the rear seat. The wire from the relay goes up behind the cargo barrier and inside the roof rack rail to the light. Its a little easier to wire it this way since I have the dual battery located in the back and...

    3 inch exhaust for D40

    I had a 3" Turbo back Exhaust put on my 126kW Nav. I got a pretty affordable one. I have an Auto so it was also a DPF delete. It made a noticeable improvement before I got an ECU remap a month later to properly deal with the DPF delete. If you have a DPF that gets lost in the exhaust upgrade...

    which tyres???

    Bob Jane will Do BFG K02's for $300 a pop fitted (265/75/16). At least they did for me. Done about 45,000KM on them so far and there is probably about 70% tread. That includes a fair bit of driving on Corrugated roads.

    so what does everyone do for a job?

    "Technical Analyst" for a big Telco. Not bad $$ for funding my trips and hobbys!

    Showing the Temp in your dash

    Is this also a thing for Thai Built D40's? I have an RX model. Is it the same part?

    What do you tow?

    .... Other Peoples cars... Trailer about 750KG - SantaFe 2000KG hhahah, I also do have a '56 Humber Super Snipe which I will likely be towing around shortly. The Nav does really well and with decent springs/shocks in the back it dosent seem to sag as long as you load er up properly. But...

    D40 intercooler hard pipe replacement

    You can get hard pipe kits for as low as $88 on ebay. Saves a bunch of stuffing around trying to make your own. I put mine in in about 15 mins.

    Super maintenance time on the Nav

    Well I got ebay bearings... they arrived yesterday and appear to be correct. I'll likely be fitting them this Sunday, I'm guessing the bearings should be like a 4 hour job?? On sunday I'll also get to the turbo leak and fix some wiring issues hopefully. I'l buy some decent brake pads and fit...

    Super maintenance time on the Nav

    I got some DBA 23110S Discs in the hopes they would help, but they didn't fit. kinda gun shy about buying another set that I cant return. But the premium on buying them in a bricks and mortar store is pretty big last time I looked. Also... if anyone is after a brand new set of 23110S Discs....

    Super maintenance time on the Nav

    Cheers Jonney, I'll look at the diff Oil and do the brake pads this weekend. I already have a torque wrench so that should be no issue. I'll probably do the bearings next weekend. Any recommendations on brake pads? Or just getting good ones at repco will be fine?

    Super maintenance time on the Nav

    The Nav has been flogged pretty hard in the last 4 months doing a 11,000KM trip, doing several days of towing other cars long distance on trailers, spending several days in -7 degrees and various other 1000K+ trips. All its seen is basic Oil+ Filter changes and now there is a pile of maintenance...

    engine re mapping

    Sorry, I completely forgot about even having posted a reply. If its still relevant to you, yes it was fairly noticeable. I have used the nav to tow a fair bit and the extra torque was surely beneficial. Towing about 2400KG out of adelaide up that notorious hill maintaining 70KPH was not too big...

    Tanami, Broome and Darwin in 1 month and 1 day.

    I could post a million more Pics... but I wont... this will be the last: We got 5 inches of rain when camping in Windjana Gorge... Which subsequently close all roads in and out.. We were stuck for 5 days Before we were allowed to go and had to make the best of it... Gibb river road was not open...

    Tanami, Broome and Darwin in 1 month and 1 day.

    Our campsite in broome. I had the most relaxing 3 days of my life here. It was glorious. I'll call this "Franks Campground" In Cape Leveque On the road between cape leveque and broome. 6 Jerrys are on the roof as I have to carry Diesel for the Nav and Petrol for the Pajero which didnt have a...

    Tanami, Broome and Darwin in 1 month and 1 day.

    I thought I'd post a quick re-cap on how my recent trip went. The plan was to Go up the centre, head west via the Tanamai and when in WA Visit Broome, Cape Leveque, Windjana, Gibb River road (which was cancelled due to rain), El-Questro Etc, then make our way to darwin and head back Via Kakadu...

    Gauge Readings on Dash

    Sorry, haven't jumped in the car in the last few days to take a look. If nobody jumps in with some figures on pressure I'll let you know what I'm seeing on mine next time I drive it, which will likely be Thursday. Cant say much about where the switch would be, pretty different cars.

    Gauge Readings on Dash

    I'll see if I can get a reading from my D40. Obviously a different engine but I'm sure oil pressures across similar capacity diesels should be about the same. I recently asked about the oil pressure in a V6 Petrol Pajero that was getting down to 18PSI once it was warm, I was told 16 PSI to 30...

    Intake temp high = Poo performance

    Checked the intake pipes, no splits, no leaks in or around the airbox, and the seal between the guard and the airbox seems fine... HMM It was about 17* outside and intake temps were between 25 and 40 once the car had warmed up..... Right now... I feel like this is a problem I'm just going to...

    Intake temp high = Poo performance

    Apologies for not responding guys. Yeah by the sounds of it there must be something going on. I spent 8 hours changing a timing belt, water pump and all other belts on my Pajero on monday and didn't much care for other work after that! I'll have time for a thorough inspection this weekend.
