So does the D40 but it is nothing like water watch and can quickly allow water through to the sensitive parts of the engine. The water trap in the OEM filter is equal to about a thimble.......water watch is about a third of a litre. Remember - your filter WILL NOT stop water........so the more...

Dave - the first contaminated load I got was from a truck stop just on the northside of Kempsey.....and that was before I had water watch fitted. Dash light lit up and I had to drain the OEM filter trap every 50km until I got home....had the tank drained and flushed out and all good for about...

Gotta love that idea :-)

Queanbeyan to Nowra via Federal, Hume Highways and then through Kangaroo Valley approx 230 km.......returned 11.8L/100km. This is a first for me post fitting the EGR blanking plate on this run - previously it was always around the 14 mark. But this good news was crapped on by contaminated...

I've done a search but didn't find anything much on this but over on the Exploroz Forum (Nissan Navara D40 Diff problems.... @ ExplorOz Forum) there is a thread talking about a bunch of issues that I've not seen in my car nor head about.....well not all of them anyway. What about you guys are...

Well guys after this weekend I'm pretty certain I've really upset someone in a very high place.......for the 3rd time now I've scored serious water contamination when filling my D40. The ute is stuck in Nowra after a ride on the back of a big NRMA tow-truck and the boys at Shoalhaven Diesel...

The regen should happen automatically and seamlessly jjohn. For the most part you will not know when/if it is happening. The only time you will get an indication is when the DPF indicator on the dash lights up - this usually happens only when you are doing lots of slow running ie below 80kph...

mmmmmmmmmmm I've been thinking of doing the DPF delete and chip thing but if that is the fuel consumption then I might just have a rethink. I put a EGR blanking plate in and my fuel consumption is now averaging 13LPH around town and I just towed my 1.4 tonne camper Queanbeyan to Mallacoota and...

Nope not correct....my 2008 D40 is a 5 speed auto

Seems some D40s have a few green gremlins or free radical electrons in the window circuits. The auto up/down feature wasn't working when I got mine but I just followed the spiel in the handbook to get it going. Stopped working when I disconnected the battery as well....just went through the...

Hey Aussie....I'd be happy for you to wash my car anytime but I'm not sure you could turn my white truck into something as pretty and shiny as your's though :big_smile:

Agree Tony but I believe that the ZD30 issue was much more than just inadequate oil supply. The first mod to the 2001 GU was, believe it or not, to fit a shorter dip stick so you had to fill the sump with more oil. This still didn't resolve what came to be known as the 'hand grenade problem'...

You'd be considered an outsider owning a D40 (or a Nissan for that matter) in Cairns wouldn't you Tappet? I originally come from Mossman and my memories of the far north are of many many Yotas and just a handful of other marques.

Mine must be a hump day build as I don't experience an slowness to engage reverse but on the odd occasion I do when engaging drive.

I've got a mate at work who has a late 2007 build STX bought in Feb 2008 and he had this problem. It confused the hell out of the guys at Lennock and it was only fixed once the entire rail and harness had been replaced.

Whatever you do guys make sure you use high tensile bolts to attach you recovery points.

Really??? I have an auto and find it quite good...and it certainly is much much better than either the Ranger/BT50 and Hilux in similar configuration. None of these modern diesels are V8 supercars and were never designed to be but I'm satisfied that the D40 has the space I need (especially in...

Just wondering if you've done any suspension mods.......my 08 auto is quite comfortable off road and articulates OK for an IFS and leaf sprung rear. 14-17....seems a bit high....I tend to get around the 13.5 no matter where or how I drive....towing is around 14.5 (1.4 tonne Kanga...

Is your car manual or automatic?

Sorry Shane but no sympathy from me. I have a 2006 auto with a shiteload of fruit on it and I get in the order of 13-14 LPH......I have a 160ltr tank and that in itself will cause increased fuel consumption...ie the tank is bigger and made of steel vice the plastic OEM 80ltr tank and 160ltrs of...
