Hi out there everyone. Hope all had a fantastic and safe new years and Christmas. I'm looking for a bit of advice/pointers on this from the experts. I have an 08 STX 4.0l v6. I recently had what I'm hoping was a head gasket and not damages head issue. Clean oil, clean coolant but when thermostat...

Hey Tony, thanks for your reply. I agree, i doubt its a water pump. I am inclined to think its the thermostat. Only reason I posted was in this day and age thermostats are supposed to stay open in the event of failure. In my case it seems it is closed. Will find out in the morning as I have a...

Hey out there, Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I have an 08 d40 4.0l and it seems the thermostat has failed in the closed position. I know they are supposed to fail open. At the moment I'm getting coolant boiling and top hose hot. Bottom hose is still stone cold. I'm assuming if...

Hey everyone. Im located in Western Sydney and am looking to buy a master power window control unit and a fuel sender for a 2008 STX 4.0l v6. If anyone out there has one of these or both for sale would love to hear from you. Alternatively does anyone know of a good wreckers in this area? Cheers sam

Lol, I'm a massive cheapskate as well when it comes to repairs. So long as it works and is reliable I'm all for saving a buck. Thanks for your response mate and this is along what I was going to try. Appreciate your response

Hey everyone, still new to this forum and finding it fantastic. I started a thread a week or so ago and have an update on it. I have recently purchased a 2008 4.0l STX. I have 0420 and 0430 codes plus an intermittent ABS light. I recieved some super helpful advice on here and today finally got...

I thought I'd add these pics. Not sure if this being an old thread is the right place so forgive me if my etiquette isn't right but i will also start a new thread as well.

Hey everyone, interesting develeopment. I put the nav up on my lift today (finally got around to it). I found 3 broken wires from to plugs that plug into the front of the transfer case. There is a yellow and black wire into one plug and a red and black into the other. It appears the in turn...

Hey everyone. I have just purchased an 08 navara 4.0l v6 six speed manual. I have codes p0430 and p0420. Wondering if anyone has experienced this? I wouldn't have thought 2 02 sensors or both catalytic converters would fail at the same time? The car runs, starts and drives perfectly. With the...
