Hi there,
I have a 2008 D40 2.5TD RX King Cab with factory bullbar and towbar and everything else is as stock as a rock.
1st question - I use between 14.4-14.5 lt/100km, now to go into this further I can set the cruise at 105km/h and cruise unladen all day and use the 14.4-14.5 lt/100km, then I can put my 1800kg 8x5 builders trailer behind it and drive that till the cows come home and return 14.4-14.5lt/km. I currently have 17,000km on the clock and the fuel usage has been the same since day one. WHY WHY WHY????? It's pretty poor I think if i can't even get 500km to an 80lt tank of Diesel. And as per usual Nissan Aust, have been real dicks about it and told me to basically go away and hide under a rock.
2nd question - I do the major services through a dealer to keep my warrantee so that's every 10,000km but I do a service in between there at every 5,000km...the last one at 15,000km I found fine metal under the oil filter...is this normal for the running in process???
Any help will be great, esp since I'm about ready to sell it and go Hilux.
