Paul, Depends on what colour the light is. Check your manual. If it is red = water. If it is orange, leave it a while. Mine came on orange after I ran the battery down and 24 hours later it was gone.

On my third D40. 2006 White STX 4 x 2 V6; 2010 Slate Grey ST 4 x 4 Diesel; 2013 White ST 4 x 4 Diesel Auto.

Thanks for the input, guys. Checked the entire engine bay for oil and there is none anywhere. The smoke was definitely blue. The only other bit of information is that this engine usually starts first hit once the glow plug light goes out - you can almost bank on it. This time the engine kicked...

Ozito hammer drill No 3 for the Ozito hammer drill. I know of a bloke who bought three to drill about 1200 chemset anchors and finished the job with two drills still in their box!

Ok.... its the day after ANZAC day and the 2010 D40 ST has been sitting in bloody cold weather for two days. Start it early the next morning (still cold) and, admittedly, didn't warm it before heading off very slowly to pick up my young bloke for work (running a bit late!). Truck is missing...

ST Offset You can put STX rims onto the ST but you can't put ST rims on the STX. You got it the right way round. Just be sure when you rotate that the two wheels always go together front or back

Techpro Turbo Timer I too have the ebay techpro "Plug and Play" unit and it works fine except there is no way that I have found to over-ride it and use the remote locking. I now close all but the driver's door, use the door lock button on the driver's door rest to lock all the other doors then...

bloke48 They are VERY slightly different. I used Polar White to repair a scratch on my Arctic White STX and noticed the difference but only because I was inspecting how well the repair went. The buyer didn't when I sold it. If you want a cheap test, get a can of each colour in that spray can...

Try Metalock I have had a crack in a side valve cast iron block done by Metalock. Not at all expensive and quick but you need to strip the engine down. These guys do amazing things with cracked truck diesels. I saw one block in the workshop that a hole about 200 x 180 had been torn out of and...

Get Back # 1 First news is: Spain built STX has 30mm offset. Thai built ST has 45mm offset. Spain built STX 30mm offset alloy fits Thai built ST. Tested front and rear, full lock both ways and free-spinning wheels. No sign of any clearance problems. In fact, ST front calipers seemed closer...

Guess the proof will be in the puddin' when I scab one off my brother's STX and slip it on my ST, Yeah? I'll get back to ya'll.

Wondering if there has been an answer to this post yet? Is there an offset difference between a Thai built ST Dual Cab and a Spain built STX Dual Cab? If so, what is it and so what as long as a pair of the same are always located together on the front or the rear? Thanks in advance, bloke48

Goldstream Any comments to make on the Goldstream? Wife and I are about to make a call on a new Crown 4B off-road with coils and would like some comments on the product (getting too old to pull bed-ends out on the Jayco and climb into the cot all the time). Bolke 48

Petrol versus diesel ....in which case you are in a very special position and your experience wouldn't be of much help to rumbum in making HIS choice.

Petrol versus diesel These comparisons are simplistic. I had an STX petrol 4 x 2 and now an ST diesel 4 x 4. Fuel around town in the petrol was 12.3 litres per 100 km regular as clockwork over 4 years. Diesel is 10.3 litres per 100 km same trips. That makes diesel 16% cheaper than the petrol...

Leave the Post Just so you know, this is the first time I have seen this post (I don't sit on this forum all the time). I think the issue is extremely important (after 3 'roo strikes in my last 4 x 4 Nissan) and so I have now completed the survey. I would err on the safe side and leave the post...

V6 Diesel Navara Have it on the best advice that the V6 Diesel Navara will be available in March 2011 ....but it will NOT be cheap!

11.36 lts/100km for a 2006 STX D40 V6 6speed manual! Mostly round town but included a run to Young for a belly full of cherries. With the current cost of unleaded vs. diesel you diesel guys need to be getting 9.63 lts /100km or better to beat it..... and then there is the difference in purchase...
