Hello all, thought I would post my experience I had today. (2012 D40) 1) Transmission lever stuck in park (bunnings carpark) Managed to get out of park with shift lock button 2) VDC & Slip light came on on the way home 3) No brake lights (not discovered until home investigating problem) Turned...

Ok an update, so appears it is the centre bore size is the issue (66.1) the P.C.D is fine but finding braked hubs was the challenge with our local trailer blokes giving some misleading info. However the good news is I found them at Couplemate on the advice of Alko. So if you were looking here is...

Thank you all, I believe it is to do with the centre hub that it would have to be machined down to match/ fit the alloy hubs. The trailer is 6x4 off road. I will be going steel rims with the same pcd and tyre size. (they may still fit the car but the alloys won't fit the trailer)

Evening all, I am having a trailer built and requested hubs to match the d40 (so wheels a interchangeable with car) however the trailer parts shop has come back and said the Nissan alloys will not fit their braked hubs and would have to buy steels rims. The PCD is not a issue just the alloy...

Morning all thought I would share what I have done to help cool the canopy in hotter climates

Thanks people some good info I played with the brake pedal switch and all has come good, I have another switch on order so I am hoping have found the problem

Afternoon all, my auto d40 is stuck in park, the only way to release it is by using the shift lock release button. Any clues anyone?

mod If you disconnect the green wire (green wire mod) you don't need a dc to dc charger I get constant 14+ volts in tub to charge second battery

Bullbar Hi Mike I have had a ironman steel bulbar with winch installed on my 2012 d40 in the last 2 weeks, before that I had the Nissan full alloy bar, I already had a 2" lift kit but was expecting a greater load on the front when swapping bars as it turned out the front only dropped by 8mm so...

Hello all just read the news in regard to the young bloke in Sydney who was hit on the head believed to be from a failed towing strap. The news reports the vehicle was bogged and was trying to be recovered by another 4x4. A stark reminder to all, please take care when involved in any recovery...

Thanks Tony mine has only 1 fuse to, still very strange

Hello all last weekend when towing the caravan the van lights decided to short out which in turn blew the R/H side tail and park light as well as the bullbar light all on the drivers side. I replaced the fuse all good now my question is there is only 1 fuse for all tail lights, park etc as per...

Hello all, have a question for you. The passenger side (front) window cannot be locked from the drivers side, the back windows can be but not the front, is this the norm or is there a trick to resetting it? Thanks

The car had a pretty good check over before we left and no I didnt check the bolts that hold the bull bar on, pretty much did a lot of other things, lift kit, snorkel, carried 3 spare wheels, 1 complete front strut and lots of other spares so i think we were pretty well prepared except for high...

Hello all just got back from doing the gibb river road, we did the trip in to the Mitchell falls and the road to Kalumburu. Amazing part of the country unfortunately we had issues with the stock nissan alloy bullbars (2 d40,s on this trip) I lost all bolts bar 3 holding the bullbar which caused...

trip When a you doing that mate? I am doing the gibb river in july and are also interested to hear about anyones experiences up there.

if you a getting 14v dont touch the green wire

You maybe one of the lucky car owners that does not have a smart alternator unlike mine which when 1st started put out 14v but quickly dropped back to 12.1 v

If using calcium battery would agree with dc dc charger as u need 15v plus however in my case it works for me and would not waste the money on another bit of equipment
