Sad days. Bought a new van at Christmas, 2.5t empty & was quietly confident we could tow it easily enough with the manual D40. Took it to Bendigo from Geelong & apart from a little extra revs on take off, not too bad. Decided to to off to Halls Gap at Easter. A few hills & 2000+ RPM take offs &...

I have been looking at replacing the Continentials with the Bridgestone 694LT's. A friend of mine has them on his D40 in 265/75R16 & is very impressed so far (about 20.000k's). He seems to do the same sort of driving as me. About 80-90% on the black stuff, a bit on gravel & around the bush...

I really would like to thank everyone for thier kind thoughts & messages of encouragement before & during my recent little bout with Liver Cancer. I had the right side of my Liver & my Gaul bladder removed on the 26th of Nov. for those that missed the excitment. Started work this morning & even...

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. Just got back from holidays last weekend. I towed my 1.8T caravan with no problems at all. I now need to give the old girl a lot more revs to get off the mark (Around 2000 rpm) whereas before, it would only need approx 1000 rpm. The car runs...

My 10000k service is almost due & I was wondering about the non dealer service. I have not priced the local Nissan dealer, but I have noticed a local service centre advertising major service from $239 that includes oil, filter, all other fluids (Via the book) & a 55 point safety check. I can't...

I thought I would post some pictures while it is still clean.

I have just ordered a Safari Snorkel for my D40 & in the fitting instructions they recommend using "Sikaflex" for the sealing. A plumber mate has informed me it is a better product for automotive use than silicon but I don't know which Sikaflex product to buy. Has anyone used Sikaflex & could...

Picked up my new D40 last Thursday & spent the weekend fitting the nudge bar, driving lights, electric brakes & CB aerial (I've got the braised & brused knuckles to proove it). I think I will install the CB radio in the little tray on the dash as I have used the space above the centre console...

G'day everyone, you all seem a friendly lot. My name is Phil. I have on hold a new D40. I looked at all the others, but really liked the Nissan. I was amazed at the offers Nissan was doing. I was able to buy a 2008 plated D40 with a 3000kg tow bar, tub liner & soft torneau for up to $4000...
