    Time for a Timing Chain?

    Good afternoon, getting a bit of a rattle sound coming from engine at start up. It goes away rather quickly and can't really hear anything unusual after that. It is a new sound, so not the normal sounds that the engine has always made. I have watched a few YouTube videos, and it does not seem...

    Steering lock stop caps

    Year a friend at work also has a Navara similar age to mine. He just uses grease as well. Some others on the forum have used table leg caps from Bunnings. HE also told me it will be a frequent repair. The previous owner had such a build up of old grease, I sw3ear it was like a golfball on the...

    Steering lock stop caps

    OK, just did the first bit of work on my "new to me" 2008 Navara D22 When leaving the house in the morning, horrible grinding sound when leaving the driveway at full lock. Found similar comments on the forum here. Sounded like the steering stop caps were worn out, or missing, and needed...

    Who rides bikes and what are they

    2017 KTM Duke 390. Small, but perfect for getting around my small country town, and short hops to the next. Lots of fun, sort of supermoto-ish. With petrol as dear as it is, makes a cheap transport option too! "Recent"previous bikes Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (636), and Suzuki DRZ-400SM.

    2008 D22 instruments

    Hello all, I have a 2008 D22 with the white gauges. It not a big deal, but the only illumination I have seems to be the "backlighting" coming through the semi transparent numbers etc. Is this normal, or are there lights that should illuminate the front of the gauges as well when the headlights...

    Oil catch can and egr

    I am aware that blocking the EGR valve is a no no from a legal standpoint. From a engine longevity standpoint, is blocking off the EGR worthwhile? I wonder what percentage of people have done it? Of course I would always recommend keeping the car in its original stock condition as the engineers...

    Accessory switches

    Hello all. I have a 2008 D22. There are a few switch "blanks" on the lower right side of the dash, and in the centre console. Has anyone come across switches that fit nicely into these spots that look decent? Its just a personal thing, but I really do not want to put generic looking toggle...

    My "new" Navara has arrived!

    I agree, I do like it better as well. I am just guessing, but I would bet the ones with the silver paint were the upgrade, "special two tone paint". I am actually going to look into this now....see what you started!

    Heavy Duty Idler Arm/Bracket

    Hello all, My mechanic has told me that my idler arm needs to be replaced. At the moment, my ute is completely stock. I do plan to put a 2" suspension lift on it before long, however I plan on keeping the stock wheel and tire size for now. Is there any advantage to getting a "heavy duty" idler...

    My "new" Navara has arrived!

    Yes, I did just by this second hand, it is the way it was from the previous owner. The quality of paint on the flares and front bumper would suggest it was sprayed after original purchase. Its not a bad spray job, but you can tell it is different. There are no chips in the paint that allow me to...

    My "new" Navara has arrived!

    Hello everyone, after a bit of a wait my 2008 Navara ST-R has arrived. In my mind I have spent a fortune on things I want to do. First thing I have done since the photo was to get the plastic polish out and clean up the headlights. A small thing but helps the car look "newer". Although a new...

    2009 d22 yd25 turbo issues

    not specific to the Navara, but with my Mini Cooper S (and many other Cooper S from the forums) a bit of oil gets recirculated back into the intake prior to the turbo and intercooler. Over time this can cause problems with the turbo, and can foul the intake valves. It has direct fuel injection...
