Hi all It's been a while since my last post...meaning that my Nav was running smooth. However, after a big Xmas trip, my rear diff started leaking oil. Conclusion, pinion seal was to be replaced. I bought an OEM pinion seal from my preferred shop. I've also followed a number of youtube videos...

Brand new battery gents!

Sorry forgot to mention, yes I did reset the ECU several times...was changing my clock spring. And I regularly use Liqui Moly. So all done. I know what you are talking about re SCV....my one is not even 6 months old...this current rough idle is different from the one my old SCV was causing.

Thanks gents. So to clarify: - check the hoses from filter to scv - block EGR completely - report back with results Correct?

ok, here we go EGR blocked with a tiny hole in the middle, just so it does not stuff up any sensors or the ECU. MAFs was cleaned several times, the issue still persisted. Two weekends ago fitted an oil catch can following your advice ;) but that hasn't improved that issue either. I will...

Hi all I have a funny issue with my exhaust. It basically rattles in cycles. The idle runs smooth for a while, let's say 30 seconds, and then the exhaust starts rattling heavily and half the car shakes. It is definitely noticeable from inside the car. Not sure if I can call this a rough...

I have a mate who works with steel....laser cutting, bending, the whole lot. It would save me a lot of money. I am just missing the plans. But yeah, I doubt it too. Either way, I don't see me getting around cutting some cardboard and going underneath the car....at least to validate the xterra...

Thanks Big Zetor. Does that mean that bashplates which fit a D22 would also fit a D40? I am talking about the overall measurements and not necessarily the wholes for screws. Cheers

I just confirmed on German Wikipage that new Xterra's chassis is the same as Navaras...it just does not say which one, d22 or d40. Anyone else with good insights and knowledge????

Hi Navarians I have a rather technical question in relation to chassis. I was and still am looking online for bash plates plans for my D40 spanish build 2007. Recently I came across a very good set of templates for an Xterra, 2nd generation from what I can tell. After doing some basic research...

Thanks chief! Hopefully the baby will arrive tomorrow and I can do it over the weekend. Dr. OzLov

Hi all Reviving this thread as I am in the same situation. Just this morning I bought a Domin8r winch....my first winch ever.....feels almost like losing my virginity! I guess using it first time to winch my Nava out will be like a threesome! LOL Anyhow, do I really have to take down the...

Crap I didn't do that and from what I remember, there was at least 2 t 3 mils space between the seal ring and the axle. Hmmmmm now I'm concerned....let me check it out over the weekend....or maybe even on Thursday. Cheers Dr. OzLov

Did bit of driving over the weekend. Was ok. The symptoms are not as bad as when my inner seal was totally busted. Fingers crossed, it is some residue. But it definitely does not sound as stuffed bearing. Once question though: does the inner seal sit tight around the axle or is there a bit of...

Tony, thanks as always! I have not picked up any unusual noise but will give it a go just to be sure. The symptoms are the same as they were before, while my seal was leaking. Will keep you posted. Cheers
