Bit of an update. I installed the plate with no hole. No codes at all. Seemed ok until I drove it for approx 20 mins and then while in cruise control, the cruise light started flashing when I was slowing down coming into a 60kmph zone. I was unable to set cruise again until I cycled ignition...

Thanks for the input guys. I have noticed a big difference now in summer. It seems to do it worse on cold mornings. I have also noticed the handbrake feels a bit worn so will look at it shortly. Cheers

Hi Guys, Sometimes when I have parked the nav on a slope shut it down and start it back up a day later I have a bad sound from the tranny. Its like it stuggles getting into drive. Its when I shift the selector from Park to Drive. Makes a loud clunk. Doesn't happen all the time. Should I be...

Hi Guys, Thought Id let you know what I decided to do so far. I ended up getting a new lift kit from ultimate suspension in Sydney. They used thier own dual rate springs in the rear that are rated to GVM of the tug. Lovells coils in the front. I was a bit worried about how rough it would feel...

Hi Guys, Just recently installed a new egr valve as mine failed. Seems like a common problem with the STX V6s. I dont want this to happen again in another 50k so I have got hold of a blanking plate. Question is, to drill a hole or not. Seems to be conflicting reports on the forums. Has anyone...

This is the one I have been looking at. Thanks. Do you know if you can monitor transmission temp with it?

Hi guys, Looking at buying a scan tool that I can read and delete diagnostic events. Needs to be compatible with an 2013 D40 STX550. Any recommendations? Thanks,

Thanks for your input guys. This is the great thing about these forums. I wouldve gone ahead with what I was planning earlier and been none the wiser until later on. So this is the plan now: Alternator goes to a Redarc battery charger (which also has the solar input) which charges the Navs...

Thats it. Just remember that this is only for the 550s. If your arm rest slopes downwards underneath, it lifts up and there is a screw behind it.

Thanks John, Thats the plan, to run the vans fridge on 12V while travelling.

Thanks Tony, How long do you get out of the Aux Battery in the Navara when the fridge is running. Also what brand of inverter do you run in the Nav?

Ok guys, this is what I would like my set up to be able to do. Question is, what do I need to do that and what brands are recommended. I currently have a caravan with one small solar panel, 2 batteries and an anderson plug at the towball. Also I am able to charge the van batteries by plugging...

It is with the system off. When the system gets turned off the vents automatically set to fresh air. It is annoying in winter because doing 100kms down the highway spits out more airfloq than what the a/c would on the low setting!

Hi guys. Just looking for everyones opinions on which drop down fridge slide I should get.

The D40 stx 550 is different to the standard D40 for some reason...

Eventually someone helped me out on the navara d40 facebook page. Just for future reference for anyone, the arm rest doesnt require popping out at all. There is only two screws holding the door panel in. One behind the handle and one behind the electric window switches. The rest of the panel is...

This video has a slightly different armrest to the design pictured. I am having the same problem. Any ideas?

Hi Guys, I know this should be an easy task but how do I get the door card off of my D40 STX 550 Spain built. I have the screws out behind the door handle and under the electric window switches but I belive there is one under the arm rest. All the videos I have watched have different arm rests...

Hi Guys, Just an easy one for my 2013 D40 Spain built, Have noticed that my a/c vents continue to have air coming through them (while system is off) at whatever the temp was the last time the a/c was on. The faster the road speed I'm doing, the more airflow I get I'm thinking one of the...
