Howdy all, Sad to say the time has come to say goodbye to me ole mate Nav as the family recently expanded and the duel cab is no longer suitable. She has taken me many places and put me through a couple of challenges but all in all the old girl has done well. I'm going to miss her. As a result...

Cheers for the reply. I will get a hold of them. I still don't understand why the key stopped working. It has never been wet or stepped on. I've dropped it a few times but that's about it. With no working parts I would have thought they would last a lifetime? Typical Nissan to charge upwards...

Hi all, I went to unlock the car today only to discover it wouldn't unlock. The spare key worked fine so I thought the original key fob had a flat battery. So off I went and bought a new battery and fitted it. Still nothing. It seems the original key fob has died. Any suggestions on why...

Mine only starting doing it since the last filter change. I have righted everything so we'll see how it goes over the coming day's.

Any checks that can be done to check for an air leak?

Hi all, another problem i need to sort out with your help. My driveway is on a slight incline (facing up hill). Since having the fuel filter changed a couple of weeks ago when i start the car it runs for a short time (45secs) before stalling. I then attempt to restart it and it turns over for a...

Replaced mine some time ago. C ant remember exactly how to do it but remember it being fiddly. Used the exploded parts drawing to work it out. Can send the Page to you if need be. Let me know.

Cheers Old Tony. I'm assuming to replace then thing it means out comes the tank??

Where do I find the SCV???? I think I fixed the issue with a filter change but with all the crap fuel I've purchased through the NT and northern WA i would mind changing out the SCV to be sure.

Hi all, dropped the oil today in the nav only to discover that Nissan cross threaded the sump plug and buggered the drain hole thread when they last fixed it. I have rethreaded it but it's now leaking. I spoke to a mechanic friend and he will fix it for me but it might entail taking off the...

Hi all, I know this is a very open question but I need some advice on why my D40 has started surging when i put the foot down. It feels as though the engine is starved for fuel. When i am coasting around town on the way to and from work the engine purrs like a kitten. The car is overdue for a...

The recommended Century battery has 680CCA vs 720 CCA for the factory battery. Will this make a difference.

Hi all, It started to get a bit cold in Perth this week and the D40 is struggling to crank over in the mornings. Not wanting to get caught out with a flat battery I tested it this morning with the ambient temperature at about 8deg. I used the min/max feature on the multimeter and after...

Hi all, Just a post to see if anyone has experience rust in the channels that run along the roof of the D40's. I was loading something on the roof bars over the weekend and noticed rust is starting to appear in the corners of the channels. On both sides of the car. Surly a 4 year old car...

Cheers for the reply. Ended up getting a set of DBA T2 slotted rotors matched with QFM pads. Fitted all last weekend and the car now stops on a dime. It'll be interesting to see how much dust they produce but the place where I got them said the ship all our the standard pads. I would have liked...

The service adviser at my local dealer showed me the parts list for mine and it stretched to 4 full A4 pages. He said it was going to be about $4K in parts alone + labour. He estimated the final coast would be around the $6K mark. Lucky i had the noise and issue logged at previous services...

I'll be interested to know also.

I have a 2008 D40 TD and have recently had problems from the front end. Nissan couldn't find the problem and continued to tell me to 'monitor' it over 1.5yrs and countless services. Sooooooo, warrant runs out and i take it to my mate down the road for a 70K service. He starts it up, turns if off...

I recently had everything timing chain wise replaced in my 08 D40 TD. A tooth had broken off the timing gear and worn just about everything out. Luckily, Nissan covered it even though it was out of warranty. Took a local mechanic to find the problem though.
