Hi, I am sort of sitting at home after a "minor" cyst removal today. Well, that was what I thought this morning when I went to the medical clinic! I hit my coccyx before christmas (swimming pool and too much rum) and I still have a bit of pain around it. A couple of weeks ago I felt a small...

Hi, I have noticed a bit of a ticking/rattly noise when sitting at idle. When I push in the clutch the noise dissappears. Anyone have any ideas? On a 08 ST-X Manual diesel. Regards Murph

Hi guys, My power steering rack has been leaking and I decided to replace it. Main problem is that I cannot get the rack out after disconnecting it. There does not appear to be enough space to slide it out. Has anyone removed their rack or seen it done? Just need some pointers on how to...

Looks like my alternator has shat itself after only 70000k. Was out getting muddy and wet at teh weekends and everything seemed fine. Yesterday when I was driving the car I was getting the battery symbol up intermittently and I thought it was related to some wet wires as my blower motor has...

Hi guys, Anyone have any feedback on the methods used to isolate a winch when not in use? I have read previous threads that mention using a 500a Battery isolation Switch. Has anyone had any issues with these? Looking at something similar for myself as I have a wireless controller. Was...

Thoroughly enjoyed tonight's deciding game. Both sides put a lot in but Wallabies wanted it more. Roll on the world cup! I hope you don't play like that against us (Ireland) in the pool game. I also hope that we can raise our game as the test matches leading up to the world cup have been poor...

Hi guys, I have been wondering if anyone does 5 tyre rotation on their vehicles. I have read the manual and see it only shows 4 tyre rotation, is there a reason for this? I just want to get some use out of my full size spare tyre. Where would I fit it on the rotation cycle? Anyone done this...

I think that the YD25DDTI is a pretty good engine but why can't Nissan make the oil filter a little more accessible? I almost gave up changing it as I can't get at it from below and could barely touch it from above (I gave up last time I changed oil so I guess I really should change it this...

Hi guys, While changing my oil today I found oil like substance on the ground and over the drivers cv and power steering boot. Tracked down to a split CV boot. How easy is it to replace one of these and what oil/ grease do I fill it with? Is it better just to book it in for a repair...

Hi guys, I have had a totally stock '08 Nav D40 ST-X for around 5 months now and I am looking to take her off road. I am going to join my local 4WD club in Feb and see where it goes from there. Not sure what I will need to mod first but will wait for advice before changing/adding anything. I...
