Any luck...?

OK this one is for the audio enthusiasts... I recently upgraded the stereo in my 2008 STX D40. I ditched all the factory stuff and fitted a new head unit, tweeters with a dedicated crossover, and front and rear speakers. Nothing crazy about it - just a cheap & cheerful upgrade. Currently there...

The fuel pump doesn't need diluted sump oil to "help" it. You could however make your own return system from the catch can back to the sump.

At 240,000 kms...if u do pull the head, I'd fit a new one regardless. There's plenty of aftermarket heads at different price points. If your head has repeatedly been too hot, it's not worth refitting it. But make sure you figure out exactly what was/is causing the higher temps before...

You said your ABS light has been on for a while... And you're getting 4x4 pictogram weirdness... And the Speedo is getting unreliable input.... Might be worth checking your wheel speed sensors and connections at each corner? (I'm assuming your Nav would be pre-stability control)

As far as I know, all D40's have a simplex lower chain (fuel pump, vac pump, balancer etc) .....and duplex upper chain. I think the "original" YD25 they refer to might have been from a vehicle that pre-dates D22's & D40's...? I have a 2008 Spain build D40 & can confirm 100% the lower chain is...

I bought a kit from Supershit auto, made by Gator. I ran the video cable and the trigger wire along existing wiring on the d/s chassis rail & up thru an existing hole in the floor pan. The camera is on a bracket inside the tailgate and it pokes through a hole in the black plastic section. The...

Yeah I'm sure the mainlanders probably laugh when we say "remote" or "stranded" or "a long way from home" :LOL: The distances are not huge in Tas, but the West Coast can be very quiet and lonely when you need help.

Yeah very true. In theory, if you had a spare that was very close to the RC of the other three tyres, you could under or over inflate it to manipulate the rolling circumference. But nearly impossible to measure accurately knee deep in **** at 10 o'clock at night in the bush :LOL:

No centre diff lock fitted, or plans to...(??) Not sure how that's possible? As you said, front auto Lokka should be passive in 2H. (Although, I've read they can sometimes get a little "catchy" in some vehicles, for lack of a better word, during normal 4x2 driving. Nothing bad, just how they...

I use Aderco because I can get it from work. Very small dosage also. It's awesome stuff. Proven in the heavy transport industry to reduce emissions, increase torque, stabilise dodgy fuel, lower EGT's, reduces carbon/soot production etc It's similar to one or more of the Liquimoly diesel products.

A bluetooth adapter for the OBD2 port and a smartphone app.

As Tony said, likely a CV joint getting tired. It's not uncommon for the rubber boots to fail (happened on my Nav). Once this happens water & dirt will get in there and start reducing the life of the joint. It's nothing to panic about - I've seen buggered CV joints on hatch-backs go for years...

I thought **** temp gauges was actually a standard Navara feature ?? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

White smoke at start up is usually failing glow plugs. Does the smoke slowly disappear as it gets up to operating temp? White smoke can either be water in the combustion chamber (accompanied by a steamy white exhaust)....or....if the fuel is almost completely unburned under low temp conditions...

I believe there is two SCV types, A long type and a short type. Diesel specialist could prolly tell you via a VIN search....or grab a tort bit & carefully remove it & measure the length & take a photo before ordering. But... Excessive black smoke is usually a loss of air (boost) not a loss of...

https://www.navaraforum.com/threads/engine-failure.38942/ If you msg John I reckon he might be able to give you a few tips.

How old is the fuel filter? First thing I'd be changing. If it's got more than one, change both. If you're driving around with bugger-all fuel in the tank & putting the boot into it up a hill, you might be gulping air & causing the loss of power? The other day I was pushing my luck with the...

Lokka, not locker. No user control over engagement behaviour. (apart from throttle input). Would be unlikely to tolerate different diameter tyres, but I should prolly ask 4wd Systems. Thanks for the long list of places you've been. I'll never get those 2 mins back. Not sure what food I'm...

I have successfully swapped a tub from a YD VSK to a V9X550 and the ali tray from the V9X over to the YD. Not overly challenging but did take longer than expected because,as usual, it's all the little fiddly things like wiring & fuel filler that slow your down. There's different flexible...
