Do you have an immobiliser key on a 2010 ST? Does it have lock and unlock buttons? You can swap an ECU but it won't start until you get the key/IMMO recoded. The key is linked to the BCM, ECU and IMMO. If you change just one of them you need to go through the key coding process. I've swapped...

Yes the RX was the "poverty pack" entry level but at least it comes with cruise control. The RX has a detuned 106Kw engine, manual outside mirrors, narrower flares on the fenders and vinyl flooring. It was easy for me to upgrade to the same appointments as my friends Thai space cab STX as parts...

A quick way to identify a Thai or Spain is the radio aerial. The Spain has it on the roof whereas the Thai has it on the left hand bottom corner in front of the windscreen. Also the Spain has the side turn indicators in the outside mirrors whereas the Thai has them on the fenders.

It appears you've got the under body protection and suspension required so don't go overboard as you won't need a tank in outback Australia! You don't want to exceed the GVM if you plan to do the more serious off road adventures like the Canning Stock Route. There are plenty of broken in half...

I spent much of my civil engineering career on remote construction and mining projects in outback Australia. Our work vehicles were mostly 4wd Landcruisers ... tray backs for the Fitter/Mechanics, troop carriers for Supervisors and Prado/200 Series for Engineers and Management. Hitting...

I understand the QD32 is the old style adjustable tappets so that makes it easier. The first time I removed the valve cover on my 2.5 diesel YD25 I was surprised to see the cams run directly onto the valve like my motorcycles. There are no adjustable rocker arms. A shim retaining bucket sits on...

I've been using Penrite HPR5 5W-40 Full Synthetic in my 2011 Thai built D40 2.5 diesel since I bought it back in January 2017. It doesn't have a DPF. I have several cars and motorcycles and find the HPR5 is versatile as it can even be used in the wet clutch motorcycles. So now I don't have...

Also a broken wheel speed sensor. The rears are the most likely to have problems as they're exposed. It won't engage 4wd if you've lost a wheel speed sensor so that's a test you can do.

^^^ Yes try a Torx bit. I've had success in the past with a Torx bit in a rounded hex socket head. Hopefully you'll get it out. Consider making two extended head M6 bolts to make it easier to install the SCV and easier to get out again in the future. I used two 80mm long high tensile M6's. I...

I decided to remotely mount my oil filter and found this old thread. I was going along fine until I removed the oil filter to fit the sandwich plate and discover there's an extra long filter nipple at about 45mm. This stops the plate being screwed down and seal against the housing. I've never...

I used "Keith Admanson's Automotive Repairs" in Osborne Park to do my clutch and dual row timing chain. They do full engine work like heads, bearing etc. The Navara has been going well with no issues since they did that work.

Quote: "I put the brush fly lead through the spring and clip and pulled the lead through to set the spring at the same compressed length as the OEM then soldered." I should clarify for anyone who'd be interested in using the generic brushes. I pulled the lead through the clip and looped and...

The OEM brushes were expensive (about $60 a pair from memory) so I used generic brushes . They were OEX Part # BRX72100. 8mm x 5mm x 27mm long. Filed to about 23mm to match OEM. A pair cost $11 from NAPA. https://www.autopro.com.au/oex-replacement-alternator-br-den-5x8x27-sp127019-brx72100 I...

I overhauled my alternator last year. I replaced the pulley, bearings and brushes. For interest the cost of bearings and brushes was only a bit over $30. I used a rattle gun with the splined tool and the pulley came off easily. I couldn't see a hex socket or similar on the other end to help get...

Here's a photo of the ARB TAD116 in my 2011 Thai D40 RX Single Cab.

It's a replacement tank. About $1400.

I fitted one of these tanks a year ago. It's been one of the best modifications I've done. In most conditions I'll generally get to 900km-1000km before I'm ready to put fuel in. When filled the gauge stays above full for the first 350km to 400km then slowly starts moving. The fuel gauge has...
