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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anyone got any ideas on the best way to go for new rotors and brakes? The D40 has just clicked over the 80K mark and the current brakes and rotors look ok, but they are getting a little spongy and I'm sick of the dust and crap on the rims. I want something fairly good for towing (stopping) a...

I pulled out my DPF some time ago and want to get rid of it. They are too heavy to send anywhere so if someone in Perth is interested PM me. Unsure how much I want for it but I know they sell for shit loads second hand. Alternatively, if someone knows a wrecker that is interested in them PM me...

Hi all, Recently had a new torque converter fitted under warranty due to a vibration problem at about the 100kph mark. I'm now getting 200+ more k's out of a tank of fuel with the new torque converter fitted. I'm not complaining but would like to know why. Any ideas?

Anyone know where i can get my hands on a front passengers internal door handle (the chrome one that opens the door) for a 2009 Navara D40 duel cab? The misses broke it yesterday and Nissan want $216.00 for one. Don't mind if it's new or good quality used. Cheers My warranty ran out two weeks...

After putting up with a vibration through the entire car when moving through 90-100kph range Nissan have finally decided to fit a new torque converter under warranty. Thank you Nissan I did tell them the problem was the torque converter some months ago but they wouldn't believe me. Even after...

Hi all, me AGAIN I've begun getting a vidration through the car when moving around or through about 90-100kph range. It only happens momentarily and completely stops at about 105kph. Having a auto trans i've heard there have been issues with the torque. Could this be the case? The warranty is...

Hi all, Thought i'd post a little pain in the arse problem i've experienced during the past two long trips the family have taken in the Nav. On both occasions whilst travelling on corrugated roads the car has began surging, loosing power and fuel usage has gone through the roof (according to...

Having had the D40 for near on 3 years i thought it was about time a found the cause of the bloody annoying squeaky noise coming from the left side of the car. I've have 3 different dealers look at it from the 300km service till now. The response was the same from all 3. "Sorry, we are unable to...

Howdy all, Well a 30min D40 delete pipe install, as suggested by Robert at Chip-It, has turned into an all day event. All the sensors were completely seized/rusted and one of the exhaust support bracket bolts was rounded (and i didn't do it). Anyway, got the thing out eventually with all the...

Howdy all, Just got back from a 4000k+ trip around the Kimberley's towing a Goldstream Storm 1.5T camper. The camping went well and the Wife and kids behaved enough that i can't complain. Anyway, had a slight problem while i was traveling that i heed help to resolve. While driving on a gravel...

Does anyone know how to get to the globes in the series 3 D40 puddle lamps? I'm considering changing them to LED's.

Why is it that i can order something from the USA and have it delivered 4 - 15 days at a cost of $15, but i order something from the east coast of Australia it takes 15 days at a cost of $20 for the same size item? It's crap. My other whinge is that when i order something from the USA it takes...
