Thanks for your advice tweak'e. I was really hoping that someone could point me at a good Navara specialist somewhere around Sydney.

Yep, it's coolant. I've bypassed the heater coil for the moment to stop the leak, but these chilly mornings I really miss the heater!

The heater coil in the interior ventilation in my 2011 D40 ST-X has sprung a leak. To fit a new one is a sh*t of a job because you have to dismantle the whole dash board right down to the ventilation matrix to get at it. I really don't feel like doing it myself. It is an uncommon job to...

My wife's Land Rover Discovery Sport had this problem - it was a faulty sensor in the AdBlue tank.

My 2011 Spanish ST-X has no DPF.

I had the problem in my Spanish-built 2011 D40 of the engine intermittently cutting out but starting again. It was the earth cable from the engine block which has an intermediate connection a the body panel on its way to the negative battery terminal. Where the intermediate lug was crimped on...

I should say that I have a 2011 Spanish D40

I have mine mounted on a flat steel plate under the driver's side floor that mounts to the underside of the chassis rail and the cross member that supports the back of the auto gearbox, in front of the exhaust pipe that runs crossways. The battery lies on its side within the depth of the chassis...

I agree 100% with Joe. I have a set of 3 Brown Davis and they're very satisfactory (and fit well).

I've just replaced mine in my D40. I chose a Century DIN65LHX MF (wet cell, maintenance-free). They have a 40 month warranty. Not only are Century good batteries, but they're made in Australia which counts for a lot.

Tony and Horatius, many thanks for your replies. Horatius, that is exactly the confirmation I was looking for - a close correlation between the temperature as measured by the bolt-on and the 'normal' sensor. I get the direct water temp reading from OBD2, but the bolt-on sensor presents an...

The temperature sensors are bolted to the outside of the case using an existing stud. I'd like to know whether anyone has used bolt-on sensors like this and how they found their performance.

I have been considering this digital instrument Digital Engine, Gearbox & EGT temp 52mm gauge visual/audible overheating alarm | eBay. It monitors EGT, engine and gearbox temperatures. The EGT sensor is a conventional probe inserted in the exhaust gas stream, but the engine and gearbox...

I also have a long range tank, and if I fill it right to the very top of the filler pipe (instead of stopping at the automatic cutoff), then I get a drip just like you describe. It is the excess leaking out the small breather pipe which connects at the top of the filler pipe and, just as you...

Been a while, it's obviously been a while since you checked your facts. Before you keep on poking fun at someone who mentioned using CRC in relation to a drive belt you should be aware that CRC make a specific product called Belt Dressing that they say " Extends belt life by improving traction...

Portrait works fine on my phone 😊

Waynet, very well said ! I admire your restraint. I certainly find this diatribe very tiresome and offensive. It is totally inappropriate for such a friendly and intelligent forum. I will simply be skipping over his posts in future and not reading them.

Another option is comfort springs for normal light loads plus air bags to comp ensate for heavy loads.

If you want them, email me at [email protected] Peter

If anyone wants a cheap set of Bilstein 5100s, I have a set that I took off my D40 when I put my adjustable Tough Dogs back on. They have only done about 40,000 km and they still work just the same as when they were new. The position of the spring base on the front struts is adjustable so that...
