Hey no probs it would be great to try to sort out. I don't get any smell whilst driving the car, I always drive with the windows up and the Air Con on and on Recirculation . I'm not sure where the smell is coming from I don't think the air con or in the window. Its getting in somewhere else...

Yeah mine has it too. 2007 D40 STX, Has had it for sometime too probably since about 50,000km now has 122,000km. I have had the gearbox boot replaced under the console several times makes no difference, I too thought someone must have got in mine with oily boots and it got into my floormats. I...

Yeah mine got done at around 70,000kms made a hell of a mess under the car and dropped a considerable amount of oil on the garage floor. Mine is a mainly hwy car has never seen mud.

My 07 STX had the same issue, mine ended up staying on constantly took the dealer an eternity to sort it, it ended up at an Auto Elec for two weeks, in the end all sensors/switches were replaced on the transfer case. That was around 30,000km ago so far so good..

Sometimes I have had no choice whilst towing the boat just enables you to crawl up a hill without slipping the clutch...Once to the top whilst stopped select high range again all good. BUT when I put my boat away requires low range and turning whilst reversing up a hill on hard surfaces...

Yeah you do get used to them, but that said every now and then I still stall mine normally at the worst possible time. Reverse seems to be my enemy thats when I stall the most...... I tow plenty with mine, my Malibu wake boat weighs 2+ tonne, I have had to go into low range whilst...

Different car but on my D40 I have exactly the same issue. But mine will stink the garage out too as well as inside the car. The seal on top of the gearbox has been replaced but I honestly don't know if its diff or gearbox oil I can smell. Been like it for sometime now and neither me or...

Not sure what the secret is, I drive it fairly hard with alot of stop start on the m4 or Great Western Highway. We both use our Navara's to tow our Malibu boat 2000kg+ and our enclosed bike trailer so the brakes get a workout. Both Navara's are still on original clutch too.

Interesting a mate with an Auto D40 needed pads and rotors at 40,000km. My brother and I have manuals at 110,000km was told they needed rotors and pads... Stuck my head under both and there was plenty of life left on the rotors and and pads. Mine now has 117,000km my brothers 120,000km's and...

No to everything, Although at 99,950km's I did sell my soul and extend the warranty for another 50,000km cheap insurance I thought, negotiated the price down to $900 odd dollars.

Yeah mine has done it too. First time was sitting on a steep hill in traffic 1/4 tank of fuel was sitting there for a while fuel light came on next minute it ran out of fuel. When the traffic moved I rolled onto the flat and after some cranking it fired up. Second time was coming down Bell...

I tow a Malibu wakeboard boat 2.2Tonne+ with my D40. Use 6th gear whenever I can. No probs doing this so far 112000km on it.

I am in the position with the lease on my 2007 diesel manual D40 up at the end of the month. I test drove the new 140kw and honestly could not notice any difference between my 2007 D40 with 110,000km's and the new 140kw D40, admittedly the new one may loosen up over time. That said Nissan did...

I'v just got my D40 back after being without it for 19 days reagrding 4wd lights. This is the second time it had been in for the same problem last time I was without the car for over 20 days. My diagram had all 4 wheels illuminated and 4 lo written under it even when it was in 2wd. All three...
