Introduction - D40 2006 first timer

[Markb2501]

Hi everyone, have just bought this rig, just clicked 296K kms today. Used it to tow a car from Sydney over the Blue Mountains to the Central West. It didn’t skip a beat…
I can’t work out if it’s a Spanish or Thai built vehicle. Someone has put up that the aerial on the top is Spanish, but that it should also have the blinkers in the front mirrors, not in the guards? I’m confused now.
Looking to use it as a work vehicle as we are building a house this year.
Hoping to get some advice and guidance from this site.
Upsides, driving seat is comfortable, downsides is a front passenger window not operating (possibly the regulator), the blower fan is not operating (possibly a resistor?), and a front wheel bearing needs replacing.
Need to get it serviced so can review how much they can do v myself doing the work.
Cheers, Mark

Yeah that's a confusing looking car, for sure.

There's a little silver plate below the left hand windscreen wiper which will have a VIN on it, if that VIN starts with VSK it's Spanish and if it starts with MNT it's a Thai.

Thanks, its name is now Manuel

Hi , mine is a VSK vin in Spain with aerial on roof plus indicators in wings not in mirrors.
