Sounds like the selectors are getting a bit poked. I always engine brake (ex long haul trucker) as well as foot brake and I tow a lot with my work D40. Rev matching is a must for both gearbox and clutch longevity. @Ben_payne92 Do you tow often and if so is it a heavy load?

Hi all, my work ute is a Thai built 2013 D40 ST Manual and I'm having trouble sourcing a replacement steering wheel angle sensor in NZ. It decided to pack up when I pulled the dash out to replace the evaporator for the aircon over the holidays. The clock spring died at the same time and I've...

I have a Pioneer AVH205BT with wheel controls and reversing . I bought the wiring harness separately and it plugged straight in. Has worked very well. No apple car play or android auto but I have no need for them anyway. Took about an 90 minutes to fit it once I had run the wires for the...

I replaced my headunit with a Pioneer and fitted a hard wired reversing camera. Works great but I would like a better camera preferably with it's own night lights to make it easier to use after dark. I have tried wireless cameras in the past and found them unreliable as well as the wireless...

Thanks for that. I may leave this to the professionals then, work will be paying but at the moment we are always looking for ways to save the pennies.

Hi all, my 2013 D40 ST Manual has decided that I don't need working air con anymore. The evaporator has sprung a leak and the guys at the local refrigeration shop have said it's behind the dash and that needs to be removed to replace it. I have read that it can be a bit of a long and difficult...

Hi, 2013 D40 ST Manual, mine started to do this on fast starts and also with a slight vibration which started at 110kph, found it to be a stuffed driveshaft universal. Replaced it and no problems ever since.

Hi, Does your D22 have the YD25 in it? Need to do the same to my D40 but always struggle trying to find the time.

Hi, I've had a couple of utes with canopies for work and I find the best ones to be the Steeltop. In Aussie they are sold as the SAMMITR canopy. These are a double skin steel canopy so expect them to be heavier than the classic plastic or fibreglass canopy. They are strong, bloody strong...

I pulled out the dead dashcam and drove it 630ks. It's getting a clean today before I drive it 475ks tomorrow. Something I did a number of months ago though, the gear knob had a bit of a meltdown. The outer sleeve was loose and since I'm not the greatest fan of a loose sleeved knobs I bought a...

Hi, I've had numerous reversing cameras over the years and here's what I've found. Don't go wireless, signal can be interferred with when you are carrying loads in the back. I sell welders and these were shocking for it. Rear vision mirror mounted screens, limit mirror usage and tend to be...
