    Coolant Loss in STR 3.0 Diesel

    About every 600k's I have to top up with about 300ml's of coolant in the overflow tank (I only ever check when the engine is cold).

    Tamworth music festival.

    A tad over 3000K return. I like it outback on the big island - did 13,000K last year towing the camper trailer with an X-Trail - corrugations persuaded my upgrade to the Navara.

    STR 3.0 Bottom Radiator Hoses

    Just contacted the local Nissan Dealer for a price on bottom radiator hoses - quoted $160 (purchase, not fitted). This seems completely over the top - Are there any other suppliers?

    Advice Wanted - Service & Oil Filter

    I undid the filter housing about 25 mins after I released the sump plug. The filter was completely oil saturated (but not dripping). What I meant by squashed was that it was a little out of shape. Thanks Tweak'e

    Checking Clutch Plate Wear

    Thanks fella's - I do not have a current clutch problem, but I am heading away for two months outback and did not want any problems. I posted the query as I have 140,000K's on the clock and the vehicle was owned by a tradie who did a fair bit of towing a medium trailer.

    2003 STR, canopy, tub liner, piranha duel battery system, nissan snorkel & bullbar. Moved up from X-Trail (which did Birdsville, Oodnadatta, Darwin to Normanton via Borroloola Lawn Hill and BurkeTown). I hope I will be much happier on the creek crossings and corrugations.
