Forgot to mention, don't be tempted to use BSP fittings in a Standyne (or other US made filter housing). Correct thread is NPT (1/4" from memory), I had some difficulty obtaining the right fittings. Also, do not use thread tape, just apply a small amount of a fuel resistant thread sealing...

A couple of pics of the 30 micron Stanadyne pre-filter unit on my 2013 D40 auto The location is fairly tight, fabricated my own bracket from an offcut of 2mm thick150 C section, only downside is that two bolts need to be undone to lift up and drain or change element, welded the nuts to the...

G'day all I am looking at alternative wheels and tyres for my 2013 D40 (Spanish build) and would like to fit a tyre with a bit more off road capability than the standard "street" tyres, looking at 265/70/17 or 265/65/17 at just over 5% and 1% increase in circumference respectively As I tow an...

G'day all On a recent trip to Sydney & back to pick up a caravan the Nav returned 9.2 to 9.6 l/100 @ 115+ on the way over On the way back with 1800 kg poptop van it returned 15.7 l/100 @ 105 on cruise flat terrain with light cross wind When I got into undulating terrain with strengthening cross...

G'day all I have recently purchased a new D40 auto, the first tank of diesel returned right on 10 l/100km, mostly short running with one return trip to Adelaide (I live about 80 km south), so am fairly happy with it so far. Turns out that the 2013 Spanish built auto version does not have a...
