Hi skullbone - success - I re-tightened the intercooler inlet hose again and it appears to have fixed the leak. I will go for a long drive today and keep my eye on it for a little while. I'm changing the oils in the diffs this week and replacing the front brake pads as well. I recently had the...

Wow that app sounds great. I must look into it. Thanks Old.Tony.

Well described Old Tony and your current milage is very encouraging to me. Perhaps I should look at fitting one of those temp. alarms. I don't flog mine and I really put effort into regular preventative maintenance. I know the previous owner of my Navara and he was a thoughtful owner and he...
