Nearest specialist is nearly 300kms away in Perth. It doesn't feel like it is down on power, maybe a touch sluggish on take off, not a huge amount though.

I pulled the MAF sensor out this morning and gave it a clean, it was pretty grubby. Filled up, went for a 100kms drive, filled up at the same pump Used 10.6L, much better than the 17-18L it was using per 100km. I've not cleaned the injectors yet, but will be doing that this week as well.

I didn't put it in the fuel tank, I stuffed a pipe from the fuel filter into it (just 1, not both) when I was changing the fuel filter. I'll try it again with both pipes stuffed in there.

Ah yes, that's some pressure I really don't want to mess with :) I'll do the electrical connectors shortly. I ran through some of that Liqui Moly just before my last Pilbara trip.. about 25,000kms ago, I'm pretty certain it's the same stuff anyway. I'll try it again though.

Just found the service manual, downloading it. I'll pull them out tonight :)

I'll give it a shot, the liqui moly diesel injector cleaner is the recommended one right? Any guides or manuals on unplugging the injectors etc, I'm not real familiar with the diesel injectors, but I know my way around an engine bay. I've installed an aftermarket CD/MP3/Bluetooth headunit, so...

Never had a chip on it as far as I know, I bought it 2nd hand at around 90,000kms 2.5 years ago. It feels like I have to give it a bit more in order to take off, not a huge amount, but definitely more than I used to. I assumed that the tyres I put on 30,000kms ago may have something to do with...

I've checked the oil a few times over the last few weeks, levels have been unchanged from check to check. I changed the oil, there was no fuel in it that I could see, zero water there too. I can't see any evidence of it dripping anywhere. It does blow a bit of black smoke while accelerating, a...

Hey All, I've got a 2009 D22 ST-R with the YD25 engine. It's done 220,000 kms, zero problems since I bought it. When I first got it, it would consistently do 750-800 kms to a tank of fuel, I changed the tyres and that dropped to 700kms to a tank, did over 30,000 kms on those tyres and it's...

Hey All, I bought my 2009 D22 ST-R 2.5L turbo diesel about 18 months ago, it's already got a steel bar, spotties, roof racks, UHF, Canopy and a towing rig. I'm looking to do some touring in this soon, looking at a road trip from Perth to Melbourne and back. I'm wondering what mods help with...

Keep an eye out on gumtree.. they come up fairly often 2nd hand here in Perth, i'm sure Adelaide is the same :)

Oh sorry Tony, I should have given more info, I bought a 2nd hand Navara, a 2008 2.5L ST-R, it's already done just over 100,000 kms. It's been a country car so it's covered in red dirt :-)

Thanks for the run down mate, I appreciate it. We used 47L for the 400km journey to Geraldton this afternoon.. which was a bit more than I was expecting, I was hoping to get under 10L per 100km as we weren't towing and only have a camera bag & a duffle bag of clothes on board. I only picked the...

Hey All, I've just picked up the Nav.. it's the first diesel I've owned.. I see that Gull sell what they call BioD.. is it any good and should I put it in my Nav? I'm going to fill up regular Diesel for our trip to Geraldton tonight, but was just wondering about it. - paul

Pick up my Nav tomorrow! Already started pricing some of the mods I want to do.. Are there any suppliers that are highly recommended here in Perth?

What sort of money does that set you back? Is it just a GPS or does it replace your headunit?

I've been using the iPhone 4 or iPad 2 with Metroview for on-road.. it rarely puts a foot wrong. I'm looking at getting VMS for the iPad 2 when we start to do some off road adventures in our Nav.

My dad's place has all fake grass.. strange thing is, you still have to "water" it.. or hose it down once a week.. lol

Good luck with the rest of the trip, we did the trip in a VS Commodore wagon 2.5 years ago.. it was great fun! I paid $1.89 for fuel somewhere near the border if I remember right.

yeah, but they are the cheap chinese imports.. not very reliable, it's a bit hit or miss if you get a good one or not.. haha :)
