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...

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...

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...

Hi all Recently I had a diff oil leak in my left rear wheel. Essentially the inner axle seal needed to be replaced, which I did. However, I have not changed the outer seal and the bearing as they were fine. I know some people recommend to do everything, but my mechanic said, if it is not...

Hi guys I am lucky enough to have a very good friend how works with metal (laser cutting, bending, drilling, whatever I want). I can also get everything for cost price and hands for free, pretty much. So I'd be an idiot to spend money purchasing bash plates and not making them myself. First...

Hi all So I bought a few months ago a second hand D40 2.5L 2007 Spanish. It has 222'000 km on the clock. I am the third owner. There are many reasons I bought this one, but the main relevant here is that I wanted to learn about 4wd cars. When I bought it, I could not tell the difference between...

Hi everyone Believe it or not, this is my first ever post in a car related forum. That somehow says a lot but stay with me. So bought a second hand Nissan Navara D40 2.5L TD with 215K kms on the clock. I am the third owner. Reasons I bought it: - to pursue my outdoor hobbies - to camp with...
