DIN 66. I just replaced mine with a Federal, has heaps of CCA.

In actual fact Dave does have a point. When you apply heat to the chassis expansion occurs, however, and any boilermaker and/or welder will agree, as the chassis cools down it shrinks further than it has expanded which is the cause of distortion in metal. (metalurgy 101). I myself would not...

On of the first things I did when I got my D40 2 years ago was get rid of the DMC and install a solid flywheel. If done right there should be no difference in the driveability of the ute, just more 'feel' in the clutch pedal. I have not experienced any shudders, vibrations or transmission noises...

Thanks Krafty, I got one coming from Nissan for $350 (thanks to 4wd club discount arrangement) so will hopefully install it next weekend. The solinoid in the unit operates but just doesn't seen to move the unlocking mechanism to allow the outside door handle to engage. On the bright side: my...

My 2007 D40 has just developed this problem. When I unlock the vehicle the Rear D/S door outside handle doesn't engage but the internal handle does. Once I have opened the door using the internal handle, as long as I don't relock the vehicle the outside handle will work. but as soon as the...

What you will find is that web sites like this are condusive to the faults of a product being pointed out and at times exagerated. Similarly if you were to scan a site on Hiluxes, Rangers/BT50s, D Maxes, Colorados etc you will find the same result and the same perception of dissatifaction from...

My Nav and both my other vehicles get serviced by MV Auto at Acacia Ridge. I have been using these guys for about 5 years. Both of the mechanics own Navaras and are quite conversant with the nuances of the vehicle. My last service was 120000km using genuine parts and cost about half of what...

On the other side of the coin: I swiped a tree with the side of my steel bullbar and told the assessor that I would live with the slight dent, just fix the panel. The RACQ assessor told me that the bar was coming off to fix the panel so they are replacing it. Sure enough new bar all included in...

I have a 2000w Honda, not the cheapest to buy but very reliable.

:victory:2nd recovery point now installed. Scrounged a nut from work, tacked a length of TIG wire to it and fed it through the chassis over the hole and bolted it up.:victory:

Your right twodogs, it makes a big difference. As for suspension, talk to Driveline Services at Archerfield, they did my lift and the price is very reasonable. (specs in the signature)

So there I was fitting my new outback ideas recovery points when 1 of the welded nuts on the drivers side broke off. So, is there any way that I can access that rogue nut to hold it in place so I can finish the install. I started taking off the Nissan winch bar but realised that the bracket on...

Just had a 120k service on the Nav at my usual mechanic. He used all genuine parts and gave a full log book service for about $600. The fuel filter was $144 alone.

I'm going to Octoberfest on saturday consequently no plans have been made for sunday.

Another issue about running your winch off of your second battery is will your aux controller (e.g. redarc) be able to support large amounts of charge coming through it to replentish the power draw of the winch. There have been occassions where this practice has fryed aux battery systems.

Manly v Melbourne final. IMO Darren Lockyer is one of the most over rated players in the comp. Been with Brisbane for so long because no one else wanted him. Now because he has played so many games people think he's a legend. And now he's showing his arrogant self centered side again by risking...

Kempseyken, yes I agree those four brands are reputable but i would think twice about Esab since they have changed their manufacturing point. (the reason they are yellow- it's the same colour of lemons). When we were selling them the Singaporian made units had nothing but trouble in workshop...

In my opinion the 175amp MIG welder is too small to weld 10mm plate. Looking at the specs it runs near 23volts which is still really cold regardless of whether you use 0.8 or 0.9 wire. We won't even mention the 25% duty cycle. You need to be running at least 25 - 27 volts to get the...

Bundy Five straight out of the bottle. No need to refrigerate and no need to mix.
