O Once again thanks for your insight into this one Old Tony. I should add that if I put my foot on the gas just a little bit it passes and everything is smooth afterwards until I go back down the gears.

Hi All, I recently had a new clutch fitted on my D40 and theres a vibration around 1200 rpm mostly in 4th gear, anyone have any ideas?

Haha nice one Old Tony. I think I’ll need 2 buckets then. There’s no way I’d cut down to that little amount of beer. Just one other thing? The coolant that was in the radiator from the last service was green but in the Haynes manual it says blue? I’ve been on this forum before about this...

Cheers Old Tony. Forgive me for being thick. So I’m thinking, drain all the coolant and then turn on the garden hose into the radiator and then let the engine idle while it runs through then Turn off the engine and let the last of the water run out, then top up with coolant?

Just following on from the EGR issue. I ran out of coolant when the pipe crapped out and I just ripped it up with water to get me home. So I need to drain whatever is left in there and top it up again. When doing a full system flush do I have to remove the thermostat or can I leave it in situ?

Sorry I should add mine is a Spanish D40.

Cheers old Tony. Thanks for the reply. Mine is a 2008. I’ve seen this blanking plate kit online. It’s just a cheaper alternative to buying a new pipe. And if there’s no issues just bypassing it I’ll go some this route.

Hi all. Went on a small road trip recently and the EGR pipe on my D40 shat itself. Poured coolant out everywhere. I took it to a local shop and the guy did a quick fix to by pass it. It got me home. So I was on the internet looking for a decent aftermarket pipe. The dealership ones...

Hi All, I can here a strange sort of whirring sound coming from the rear of my Navara, it does it when its under load and when I pop into neutral. I jacked up the rear and spun both wheels by hand thinking it was a wheel bearing but I couldn't hear anything that really stood out? Any ideas?

Cheers mate. I was coming to that conclusion. Should I flush the system out with de-mineralised water first? Or can I just use ordinary tap water?

Hi Everyone, i am currently doing a service of my D40 and I cannot work out what coolant to use, in the Haynes manual it just says use Nissan Coolant, thats all and I have checked out Supercheap and they just say use the green stuff. Can I just grab the ready mixed green stuff and use that?

Hi All. I’ve got a few surface rust spots on the cab roof of my navara. I’ve watched upteen you tube videos on how to sort light rust spots and to be honest they’re all pretty hopeless. It’s just a bit of surface rust. Just wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on how to tackle...

Cheers old Tony.

Hi all, I want to replace my old leaf springs and shocks on my D40, I have been online to source some decent ones but all the searches turn up specialist lift kits, all I want to do is replace like for like, any ideas where to look? I live in New Zealand Cheers

Hi Dazza, I had the same problem with my 2008 D40 Spanish, all the evidence pointed towards a broken Suction Control Valve, so I replaced it, a fiddly job but easier enough, but it was still going into limp mode. I took it ito a couple of mates workshops and they couldn't help. In the end I...

Could the auto adjusters be worn out? I suppose I should take the drums off and inspect them but I suppose its worth asking the question?

Thanks mate, I went over the vac lines and they all seem in pretty good condition, some appear to be pretty new. I'll check th edrums and the auto adjusters too

Hi all, i have a 2008 D40 Diesel Spanish made. I was going to change the clutch release bearing and at the same time change the clutch. Someone told me that there are two sorts of clutch though and I won’t know which spec it is until I’ve taken the gearbox out. Is this true? I was going to...

Cheer Old Tony I'll check them out.
