I have a 2012 st D40 automatic. Last night went to leave a function and it just wouldn't start. When you turn the key to on, the headlights come on despite them not being turned on and the thermo fan starts, but it wont wind over at all.(similar to not having the gear leaver in park or...

It does utilize 2 of the 12mm bolts from the towbar mounting(just sits on top of) as well 2 14mm bolts that hold the bumper on.

The tray is 175 wide, 220high and 330long. It's made to accept up to 125ah battery.

Here are a few pics of the trays to suit a D40 style side I make. It'll accept up to 125ah battery(330mm Long, 175 high and 225 high). Photos is of the one for the left hand side, can also make trays for the right. For more information and prices, pm me. Alby

Yes, I realize its a special job, spent the last 34 years in a trade repairing and calibrating all sorts of manufacturing plc controlled hydraulic equipment, most of the time adjusting European and American made machines to function in Aus. As I said, to those working in the field of automatic...

I live below the Toowoomba range and work in Toowoomba so, this vibration issue annoys me daily. If you are climbing a fairly good incline at a speed of 50 to 60KPH, the gearbox will be in 4th reving about 1250RPM, the correct wording here should be "Labouring" and the fact to make the gearbox...

Hi guys, mines a 2012 series 6 2.5 auto, yep, mine hangs onto 4th gear just the same as yours. The dash vibrates severely. This appears to be the norm for this gearbox. Before I purchased mine I drove a second hand 2009 stx auto for sale, just a short term latter I test drove a new 2012(the one...

Where to put second battery. Hi guys, add my 2 cents worth. Have a 'series 6' dual cad D40 with style side. Didn't want to put the battery next to the fuel tank as I aim to get a long range tank. I made a bracket/holder and mounted it behind left rear wheel inside the guard. If you kneel down...

Yer, it's a top spot. The good part is that if you required more capacity, up to 250AH is achievable by using both sides of the car. Posted another pic showing mounting. 2 bolts on top of towbar, 2 via bumper bracket. Bracket has been tested via some very rough tracks. Able to manufacture...

Battery holder. Designed and made it myself(Fitter & Turner by trade). Wasn't happy to mount it behind fuel tank as I want to install a bigger tank in the future. As normal, had a heap of photo's during the making of it and got a new phone didn't I, lost all bar 3! It uses the mounts that hold...

Battery holder. This is what I did. D40,series 6 dualcab style side. Mounted the battery behind rear left wheel in tube. Remove wheel and couple of phillips head screws will remove mudflap. After this 4, 6mm bolts and this removes inner back of the guard. Presto! look inside and there's a nice...

Here are a couple of pictures of the dual battery setup I made for my D40. First pic is the Battery itself. 125ah Deep Cycle AGM Battery. Chose this type due to it being 100% sealed, and maintenance free. The position of the battery, and its weight, means you don't want to be lifting it out...

I have a 2012 series 6 style side dual cab. I have made a holder for my second battery to fit behind the lefthand rear wheel under the tub. (next to the spring pack). It is quite easy to get at, but you need to remove lefthand rear wheel and then 4 x 6mm bolts will remove the inner guard. In...
