What warranty work has your D40 had done.

[Barra1]

Mate,
perform OK but lack of good bash plates, low ground clearance, exposed vitals, piddly clutch (for us gear jammers) etc. My last rig was a GU ute with none of the things I just listed, hence my staemnt about "softroader'.

New torque converter will be installed on Thursday. Vehicle has done just 2200km. Nothing but good things to say about the dealer and Nissan on this one though they couldn't have been more helpful. In fact the dealer tech couldn't diagnose the problem but put my point description of it to Nissan Tech Services and within the hour Nissan had told them to change to an 'upspec' torque converter that would be dispatched immediately. Voila - week later it will be fitted.
+1 for the good guys )

im getting a new flywheel on my D40, nissan said they have done a few in the last few months and its a defect with the flywheel and they upgrade to a completly different unit. i guess the reason they dont put out a recall is because its a big job to get the box out.

I guess I'm about to experience some of what you have. My previous ride was a 98 GU 2.8tdi - harmonic balance spun on the crank and also gear cluster was really really noisy. Had several quotes to fix and the cheapest was close to $20K and I elected to go for the D40 instead. Starting to get over extreme 4WDriving and more into touring on longer trips so hoping I'm not going to be too disappointed when I finally get the rig completed.

New torque converter fitted and everything seems to be OK. Having a look over everything and found a bolt missing from the front driver's side chassis/suspension (see pic)

They lost it mate... Gee... Give them a break.

Their apprentice said that it would be fine as there are 3 left

Seriously. Thats pretty sh!t.......

It looks like the production line robot had a couple of goes to insert the bolt - maybe if there was a bit of hair around it he would have gotten it in . Could have been approaching siesta time in Spain when mine was built.

anyone else had transfer case leaks? im onto my 3rd leak.. front driveshaft seal. Apparently the first leak that a different dealership fixed they modified something to stop the leak, but they couldnt tell me because it didnt say much on their computer.

Its at nissan now getting the clutch and leak fixed and a annoying rattle from the airbox after the snorkel got fitted a few weeks ago.

both inner rods (they connect the tie rods to the rack & pinion unit) replaced at 23,000 km. they started to rattle at around 15,000 km

A note on bonnet & front end squeaks. Try some duct tape around the bonnet catch. Works a treat.

 

[tkingcab]

Thanks for the advice on the duct tape steeld40 does work great probably the most annoying noise in the world that bonnet.

 

[steel d40]

Glad to help, gotta love forums hey.

Next service I will be getting my power window switch (rear left side) fixed, and a new steering wheel as the paint is peeling off..

I will try them for new rotors also... 28k aroud town, only tow a boat 5klm once a fortnight, and the rotors are rooted..... IMO Nissan have fu(ked with the brake package... There cheap and nasty.. If they don't replace them, I will fit off after market rotors and Bendix or QFM pads

Hey m8
mines just about to go in for its 40k service and as i was replacing the rims/tyres i was checking the pads Thursday. All looks good still have around a 3rd of a pad left. I have spent a large proportion of that 40k towing my 2.5 tonne boat both city and country. Weekdays the wife drives it. Im surprised by what your saying.

injectors

89000 and getting new injectors and rail next week. the economy has gone to crap but nissan say "it is acceptable". luckly it also has a rattle/knock under light load so nissan did a check and found a fault in one injector so now will replace the lot. First nissan say their is no problem with the fuel economy and in the next sentence they say there is a problem with the injectors?
