OK this one is for the audio enthusiasts... I recently upgraded the stereo in my 2008 STX D40. I ditched all the factory stuff and fitted a new head unit, tweeters with a dedicated crossover, and front and rear speakers. Nothing crazy about it - just a cheap & cheerful upgrade. Currently there...

Howdy gurus, My daily set of rims and tyres are stock STX rims with 265/65/17 A/T tyres. My second set, for off road & trips are 17x8 steelies with 285/70/17 M/T's. (I have a fifth rim, but only 4 big tyres at this stage) The spare under the tub at the moment is a 16x7(?) with...I think... a...

G'day Navheads, Has anyone else seen rust in their roof channels? (See photos) I'm about to fit a permanent flat tray roof rack, but I think I should fix/treat the rust first... Bodywork is not my strong suite. Anyone got advice for a straight forward method? How much do I sand back? Rust...

Anyone tackled the rocker cover / injector oil seals? I have two injector tops that are covered in crap....and two clean ones (see attached photos). The FSM shows a replaceable oil seal for the HP line side entry. But there's no seal shown for the top of the injector and rocker cover?

Howdy Nav Heads, Lately my coolant temps have been creeping just a little higher under load than I'd like. It's nothing serious yet, but it's still Winter in Tasmania, so a mild issue now could be serious in February. So I've begun to observe & troubleshoot. First step was to drill & file...

Howdy gurus, Anyone know the specs for the brake lines, nuts & threads on a '08 D40 VSK ? I'm trying to buy some blanks and other bits & pieces for swapping & bleeding master cylinders. Old mate at the brake shop wasn't sure if the tube nuts are 10 x 1 or 12 x XX...?? Edit: Lines might be...

OK gurus, I've got a funny one... '08 STX YD25, manual, 4x4, d/c, 90,000kms. I noticed something the other day on the highway. When I lift off the throttle to coast a little and then add throttle to accelerate, there's a subtle "bump" in the driveline. I can feel it thru the seat. There's...

Is anyone currently running 275/70/R17 tyres? How common is this size? Any issues with guard or chassis clearance? Are they too wide for the stock alloys? (My D40 has a 2" lift and I have 2 sets of stock alloys at 16" and 17". Currently running 265/75/R16...but they're stuffed)

Got a funny one... Does anyone else's original radio only output on one side when using AUX input? Playing CD's - no worries, all 6 speakers. Radio - no worries, all 6 speakers. AUX input - only starboard side speakers (I have moved the fader & balance settings around to confirm) Was...

OK guru's, I need to learn more about after market illumination. What I know about the current headlight products wouldn't fill a midgets purse. I have a D40 with an ARB b/b and no additional lights. I live in Tasmania. The local marsupials are positively Kamakaze. I have a small budget for a...

Yowdy Nav Heads, My new (2nd hand) Nav came with quite a few accessories (toys?). One of which is a Uniden 015SX UHF. But it seems to be set-up wrong....or poorly programmed...or possibly faulty... I couldn't get a sound out of it until I went thru the menus with the book in-hand. It was set...

So what's the best EGR "service" kit, or plug in module for the 140kW motor? Who's running a brand/product/style that works hassle free? Any I should avoid? Who's had ecu codes after install? (apologies if there is already 1000 threads on this... but searching "EGR" doesn't exactly...

Howdy Nav guru's, I've just bought my first Nav & I'm pretty stoked. It's a 2008 D40 ST-X 4x4 YD25 with low km's and some good accessories. Very well maintained by original owner. I've ordered a catch can, EGR "service kit" & 'cooler piping etc.... and will slowly improve or fix a few things as...
