Hi all, I have a 2009 D40 Navara STX. The other day whilst pulling out of a junction my ABS light and handbrake light flickered on and off for a few seconds and then everything was fine. Then today when pulling away from a junction it did it again a few times and then it was all fine for the...

Hi all, I have a 2009 Navara D40 STX with cloth seats. The drivers seat is looking very tired and worse for wear. Does anyone know if I could pick up a second hand one from somewhere? Or have it re-furbished here in New Zealand? I have tried all the usual places like trade me and ebay but all...

Hi everyone, this is a subject I'm revisiting from a while back, the brake pedal on my 2008 Navara is soft, I have replaced the master cylinder twice and installed new brake lines, bled the system over and over and still the pedal is soft. It always passes the road test here in NZ for the brakes...

Hi everyone, I did originally post this query in Electrical but on second thoughts maybe it should be here anyway.... So I have a 2009 Navara D40 and the 4WD light comes on randomly As far as I can tell the truck does not engage 4WD though and the little icon on the dash showing the status of...

I had some surface rust spots on the cab roof of my navara. So I hand sanded them away with wet & dry sandpaper, I made sure it was all gone, then I sprayed it all with etch primer ready to paint, after a couple of days the rust spots are back. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all, When I am driving my Navara at over 90KMH I get a low noise hum and slight vibration in the cab. I've replaced the lower ball joints a couple of years ago and the upper ones seem sound, no obvious sign of wear and no movement. I can't see any obvious signs of wear in the bushes on the...

Hi all, just following on from a few posts I have done recently about th esuspension on my D40. I'm pretty sure that my upper ball joints are the issue at the front. So i went online to purchase some. Then I checked in my Haynes manual to see how to change them. In the manual it says you cant...

Theyre branfd new pretty much, I doubt its the tyres

Further to a previous thread I posted, my suspension bushes on my D40 front and rear are knackered, they squeek and creek down the road, however I've noticed that at about 90kmh a vibration starts to occur and the truck feel like its buzzing, if that makes sense? Could this be another symptom of...

One more thing, my D40 has started to make a rumbling sound at about 90kmh and it feels like the truck is vibrating, could this be because the bushes are knackered?

Cheers T Cheers Tweak'e

I'm pretty sure my suspension bushes are shot at the rear and at the front of my D40. You can hear me squeaking and creaking up the driveway. So I've been online and I have sourced a complete kitset of bushes on Ebay for front and rear. But there are loads upper and lower trailing arm sets...

Hi there landmannnn. The Haynes manual didn’t say to put the coolant in at 1.5 litres per minute. For Christ sake if I’d have known that I would have followed the instructions. Bloody hell it’s kind of obvious when you think about it. I just dumped it all in. Rookie mistake. So do you...

Hi everyone. So I drained out all my old coolant on my 2009 Navara. Flushed out the system and filled up with coolant. I was bleeding it for about half an hour and still I had bubbles coming out of the system. I followed the instructions in the manual. Turned the heater on full...

Hi there. I want to clean the rear window on my navara but the canopy is sitting right up to it. The only way I can get to it is to undo the canopy over the rear bed and slide it back. A couple of the bolts holding it into the rear bed have rusted and just spin round. I’ve had a look...

Just following on from this original query, I have been doing some research and I am fairly confident that the problem is a faulty stepper motor. So I was wondering how accessible are they? Do I have to take the whole dash off or just the lower parts where the plastic curves underneath? If...

Cheers Old Tony. I was thinking it might be something like a knackered capacitor or a solenoid? It sounds like there’s a bloody mouse chewing through something. To be honest I’ve just got used to it. But I thought I might take that part of the dash apart and have a look.

Hi all. Ive had my D40 for 4 years and ever since the first day ive had this really annoying clicking and whirring sound from behind where the heater and fan dials are. It’s as if there’s a solenoid clicking backwards and forwards. It even does it when I switch the engine off and take the...

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. I’ll get underneath it at the weekend and give the drive shafts a good shake. It may be...
