Hi Tony, Yes the tanks are tied together. And, yes I should have bought the auto Navara. Still with that little bit more capacity & the 7 speed transmission, I think it will be a lot easier for my wife to handle if the medico's stop me driving. I have just finished a course of radiation on my...

Thanks for that Krafty. A bit of a let down I know, but goes like the clappers & will tow 3.5T. Cheers, Phil

Sad days. Bought a new van at Christmas, 2.5t empty & was quietly confident we could tow it easily enough with the manual D40. Took it to Bendigo from Geelong & apart from a little extra revs on take off, not too bad. Decided to to off to Halls Gap at Easter. A few hills & 2000+ RPM take offs &...

I'm not saying Swan is not a champion, but he is not quite in the class of an Ablett or Judd just yet. And with Judd's & Ablett's disposal both in the 80%+ range I am sure if they demand the ball & I was their team mate it would be a no brainer.

I agree Judd is a champion, even if he can elbow an opponent in the face, get off & still win the Brownlow. Regarding Dane Swan, if you check his disposals, he is 54%efficient compared to Judd at 82%. Maybe the umpires notice the little things like that.

G'day melly. I have not had any experience with the coil helper springs, but I fitted a pair of Ironman Load Plus helper springs. I don't carry much weight in the tub, but every now & then my wife wants a load of loam for the garden & the thing wallows, sits on the bump stops & handles like a...

Thanks guys. I have spent a fair amount of time checking them out over the last couple of days & have decided to give them a go. Bosshog, I read a testimonial from Dave Wilson of Adventure 4WD in SA & he has the 265/75's on his D40. He has done about 25,000K & recons they would be good for...

I have been looking at replacing the Continentials with the Bridgestone 694LT's. A friend of mine has them on his D40 in 265/75R16 & is very impressed so far (about 20.000k's). He seems to do the same sort of driving as me. About 80-90% on the black stuff, a bit on gravel & around the bush...

Just for you guys regarding the "Auto up" on the driver's window. I am sure there is a post somewhere with the procedure. From memory, I fully opened the window & held the button for another 5 seconds, then closed the window & held the button down for another 5 seconds. That was it. Cheers, Phil

I also agree with Tony & the other guys. Last Christmas we towed our van (1.6T + about 400kgs of junk) to Bendigo & I pushed the truck to 110kph as often as the conditions allowed. Result was milage between 14.6l/100k & 18.2l/100k. This year I kept the speed between 90-95kph & the milage was...

Welcome to the forum Halvor, Great looking truck. Keep us informed. Cheers, Phil

This is very strange. Do either of you guys exist? Cheers, Phil

Thanks guys. You're right about the diet Tony. I had a beautifull Parma with a bolgnaise sauce & did I suffer afterwards. I hope I learnt the leason. Cheers, Phil

I really would like to thank everyone for thier kind thoughts & messages of encouragement before & during my recent little bout with Liver Cancer. I had the right side of my Liver & my Gaul bladder removed on the 26th of Nov. for those that missed the excitment. Started work this morning & even...

Credit where credit is due. I changed back to my local dealer for my 20,000k service as I was very unhappy with the local 4WD shop (Rally Motors) that had been servicing my car. The dealer had a driver take me to work, pick me up when "I" wanted & completed the service for $280.00 (I notice in...

Thanks guys. Let me assure you now, I intend to be around for a lot longer yet. I am humbled though by the warmth & care offered to me by so many people I hardly know & some I have yet to meet. Thank you once again, I will keep you informed. Cheers, Phil

One in Geelong I won't be using again. Rally Off Road. Nissan did my first service, then I took the car to Rally Off Road for the 10,000 & 15,000k services. After the 10,000k service it leaked oil from the sump plug for the next 5,000k. The mechanic tried to tell me it was oil dripping from the...

I have been waiting for a trip like this to meet you guys, & I would have been in like Flynn normally, but I have just found out I share more than a gray beard with Deryn Hinch. I have been diagnosed with a liver tumor & need an operation to remove the right hand side of the liver & my gall...

Hi Tony, You need to mount the "U" bolts thread down. Check step 5B in the fitting instructions. Cheers, Phil
