Cheers Guys, Most appreciated

Well these holidays are turning out to be a real mechanical trial. I've just sent my Navara into the mechanic to finally complete repairs / upgrades. I was having trouble with my front diff and found metal shavings when I drained the oil out of the diff. The mechanic has since ripped my front...

Hey all, I've just about finished installing a new turbo and 3 inch exhaust on my navara and am having a bit of confusion about one of the final steps in the instructions provided to me for turbo installation. The instructions state "with the fuel shut off to prevent engine start. Crank the...

Is your Navara a turbo diesel? And how many km do you have on the ute. If you've still got this whine and your blowing smoke everywhere have you considered the possibility that you could have an oil leak at your turbo. This could explain the production of smoke and also the whining noise that...

The ute is an 06 model and is sitting at 175000 ks. I have given it a huge workout over the last 3 years and only just got back from a trip to Cape York. The bearings is definitely an issue and i was aware of it on the return from cape york. I think you might be on the money with the diff...

Hmm this is very interesting. I will pass this on to my local mechanic as this will probably be very handy for him. We took the ute for a test drive today and pretty much confirmed that wheel bearings are shot, CV joints are pretty rooted and the front diff is almost certainly in the hurt locker.

Gone through and had the ute inspected. Unfortunately definetly not the bunp stops. The grinding noise is ceasing when 4wd is disengaged. When 4wd is engaged it is rotational in nature. I'm suspecting CV joint or front diff more and more (sigh...) Just so I'm aware, what are the spider gears as...

Ok, so no sooner had I thought that I had my Navara working 100% and now I have another issue. Just went four wheel driving today and when I engaged 4WD low range and started going through some tight switchbacks you could hear an alarming crunching noise coming from underneath the front end on...

Hey All, So for those who wanted to know the solution to my issue pretty much here is what has happened. I confirmed that the NPS was the issue. I did the heat switch test in my garage and found that when I had my heat switch on and put the ute into fourth gear it did not drop back to its...

Cancel that...solution found

Ok so I've disconnected the NPS at the plug and will be going for a test drive soon. Just out of interest if I wanted to remove the NPS from the gearbox itself and replace it with a new switch, how do i go about removing that little sucker . I've got a 19mm spanner on the bronze part that...

Yeah I googled surging issues with D22 Navaras (I have the ZD30 motor) and this forum had an article on the issue which described my issue to the T. I am about to try and disconnect my heat switch today and see how it goes. Also out of interest what does NPS actually stand for?

Hey All, I've just noticed over the last two days that there seems to be an issue with my engine. I've just completed a drive from Townsville to NSW while towing a box trailer. During the drive I noticed that my Ute seemed to really struggle putting power down while in 3rd and 4th gear...

Hey All, I'm currently in the process of installing a 3 Inch straight through exhaust on my D22. I also just installed a air-air intercooler and am also looking at upgrading the turbo before putting a chip on the ute too. I'f anyone has suggestions on suitable turbo upgrades or chips let me...
