Gooday RooGU.
As DSzuke has said,this only works on the CRD motor. For DI motors try this instead; http://www.ecutalk.com/

Ronin, re your question on running in, suburban traffic is, funnily enough,probably the ideal environment. The engine tends to be used in a variety of rev ranges, rather than a constant cruising...

Gooday Monty, I've run 235x85x16 tyres on both my current GU and on my old Troopy, and done plenty of desert and tough tracks. They'll go anywhere you want, and you get the added benefits.
1. They...

Mike, you've mentioned the dual batteries, but have you wired the winch to parallel the batteries? The reduced load on each then should enable them to run a normal service life. You do of course need...

Nissan Australia sell a genuine GU roof rack rated at 120kg, so I assume that the limit is around there, although my understanding is that for off road the recommended maximum should be reduced by...

Came across these details on another site this morning. In the Sydney Sunday Telegraph today apparently. Sold at auction in February with over 249,000k. Now has only 98000k. How do they get away with...

Fellas, before you commit yourselves, just check out this site.

I liked the analogy of the different reflectors being...

You're one of the sensible ones that actually thinks before he mods, lortapug. But as ET has said, you can't have it all and be under the GVM. And if you are over it, apart from legalities, you take...

Grimace, I have an 07 model CRD all standard motor and exhaust. A mate with a DI consistently returns EGTs at least 100C lower than mine, and this would appear to be the case with them all [as...

It is pretty hard to refute the sort of 1st hand experience that Offroadmafia has provided, Kizzie. You should be able to get your choice now.

The Defender straight off the showroom floor is probably the most capable vehicle in difficult terrain that you can buy. But ask your husband why is it then that the Patrol is so very much more...

And here's another, Scada, that I've found to be good. They tend to specialise in gear for 4wdrivers, caravanners, etc.

Thanks for that link, Dingo. I had not seen it but it is very much aligned with my view on tyres, facts and fashions. as is this one;...

What they are saying to you, oncedisturbed, is that 6 square mm cable is desirable, ie so your looking at 8 B&S [8AWG] [3.25mm wire diameter, ie without the insulation.] for the main run from your...

If you've got genuine nissan wheel arch flares then you've got the wide wheel option, as the conversion cost is prohibitive. Most Australian vehicles are the wide wheels, only the DX came with the...

Actually I think that 20l jerries can be made to work very effectively. The simplicity of gravity feed with attached hose, and then, if using more than 1, being able to free-up space by putting...

Gooday Mitchelljames, I've done most of the big trips to which we aspire and the one piece of advice I'd offer is try to keep your weight down. The more weight you add the less capable you make the...

Daryl, I agree with Skull on that one, ie the dual mass flywheels. But yes, there are after market solid ones available .
Also agree re ease of use in the bush. I've been caught in a manual in a...

Gooday Daryl, The ones to stay away from are the ones without a good service history. Having said that, the later model you can get the better. The 04, 05, 06, Direct injection models [D.I.] appear...

Congratulations Fletch. That's a really worthwhile achievement that will always hold you in good stead. Of course you also realise that it guarantees your being bombarded with questions from the...

Gooday all. My name is Graeme and I drive an 07 CRD auto DX that I've fitted out for mainly solo touring [ my wife reckons shes past the camping age]. Having retired, I now have more time to chase...

Perhaps this is another option worth considering.I've got an Irridium that I bought about 6 or 7 years ago. I bought it on a plan that went on for some years at a very expensive rate, so I parked it...
