Hi all, been reading this thread with great interest. I have a D22 and I'm looking at changing it for a D40. I'm planning to buy second hand. My question is, how can i tell if a heavy duty bonnet restraint/catch has been fitted? I just don't want someone to tell me porky pies when I'm not...

Hi Dave, So far (not heaps of trips) I've averaged about 16-17 L/Hundred Klm towing at about 90 Km/H in a mixture of 4th & 5th gear. The van weighs 2.5t. We are planning a trip to the west later this year so that will give me a great opportunity to record my fuel usage, Cheers, Jeff

Thanks guys, I appreciate your input, Cheers, Jeff

Hi all, I've heard a bit of talk about using an injector cleaner in the diesel fuel regularly. I've had my d22 (230,000Km) for just over a year now. Should I be using an injector cleaner in the fuel, and if so, how often would you recomend? Cheers, Jeff

Hi all, I joined the forum last year but I've been a bit slack. I have a D22 that I use primarily for towing our 2500 Kg caravan. Is it better to tow in 5th gear or in 4th? I tow normally at 90 Km/h. When in 4th the engine rpm is at about 3050-3100rpm. Is this ok, especially when towing for...

Hi all, I have bought a D22 Navara a couple of months ago, It's been a great tow vehicle for my 2.5 Ton caravan. This is the first diesel I have owned. The power seems pretty good but I'll ask you guys who would be more experienced about increasing the power without any real engine work. I'm...
