Nissan should never have done away with the V6 either. That was also a bloody good engine!

I dare ya to get a new Ranger for $53,000!

Just got a TXT message from the local dealer that the new NP300 Navara is on their showroom floor.

TOYota vs D40 on utube Pity the idiot in the Nissan doesn't know how to drive (why is the right hand front wheel up the bank in the first attempt????) or this uTube stuff might prove something!

"Remember that most people start researching issues on the internet when they experience those issues, so most of the people visiting this forum are here because they've got some issue or other. For each member here, there are 10 "out there" who either don't have the issue (common) or of the few...

Three D40's over 9 years and never had this problem.

Is it registered? If so, what's the rego?

More than a real worry I'm on my third D40 - one V6 petrol manual (great engine that!), one diesel manual and the current diesel auto. Latest is the best tow vehicle I've ever had for my 1.25 tonne camper. Up Mt Darragh Mountain road at the end of January and never dropped below third. When I...

Clutch at 5000 and 50000 A clutch at 5,000 and another at 50,000..... Do you actually know how to drive????

Be careful if you have a locking hard tonneau. It is possible to quietly "work" the lock tongue on one side so that the tonneau can be lifted on that side. This then allows the middle of the tonneau to be lifted high enough for the s...heads to open the tailgate (leaving the hard tonneau still...

I like the idea of getting that beer! I was pretty pee'd off when the relatively tiny 'roo pushed my alloy bar back onto the front wheel too. Not as pee'd off as it was, probably!

I think you'll find even if you read your own posts that this was not just a trip over the GRR and the reference to the EASTERN (Yes, I do know that the GRR is in the WEST) roo was one of my own experiences with a Nissan alloy bar. To get my point, Google the respective tensile and shear...

The standard Nissan alloy bars are a Christmas decoration (just hit a mid-sized Eastern Grey roo like I did and you'll find that out). The Gibb River Road and especially the Mitchell plateau is no place for those things, just graded or not. You got Nissan to agree to replace it under warranty...

Gibb River Road????? With respect, this WAS the Gibb River Road! ....not exactly George Street. What prior or routine checking/maintenance did you carry out on the bolts?

Never heard of extended warranty coming free with anything. I checked Isuzu and Nissan and they are both about $2,300 for an extra 3 years (to 6 years). I have six years on my D40 Auto.

Thanks Old Tony from an Old Bloke! I think some of the recent comments miss the point. If these snorkels are OK on semis, how come they have what looks like a bloody great filter cannister on the bottom of them? 4WD snorkels sure don't.

Let's try that again..... right click on the small image icon and then click on "Open image in new tab". Photo pops up as a new tab at the top of the page.

See that's, in part, exactly my point. As you can see in the attached photo, those snorkels on semi's dump straight into what looks like a bloody big filter! http://www.kenworth.com.au/fileadmin/site/brochures/Model_Range/T909_web.pdf

OK, so confusion reigns and I need some help with sensible advice. I drive the streets of virtually every town in Eastern Oz and see countless 4wd's with snorkels on vehicles that undoubtedly never see a river crossing or bulldust. They all have their intakes facing forward and must serve...

Ok. Just my experience after going back to working for the man 18 years ago: Large company, forget about "loyalty" and being looked after. You make your own way because the tops will cut you off at the knees in a heartbeat. Small company you need to act as though it is yours. Profit is just as...
