    I don't know of any specific brands to stay away from. I prefer genuine Nissan or Gates (they do belts and hoses). You can get Gates belts and hoses from Repco. Roodogs has been around for a while, if the gear he sells was rubbish I don't think he would still be in business so you should safe there.
    Get prices from Nissan (PM NIZZBITS for good prices), you might be surprised at some of their prices.
    Don't forget to get heater hoses, and if you have a water cooled turbo there will be a few other small hoses.

    I think you might be best to discuss pros & cons of poly urethane v rubber suspension parts?

    Thanks for the suggestion Tim, will do. Suspension is one of the next subjects I want to cover, so I'll slot it in there.
    I've started adding general information to the different area's, but there is so much general info and interchangeable parts info that I want to add, I'm thinking I might remove it and put it in a separate thread. For now Ill leave it as is and revisit the idea when I'm finished this project.

    Man you must really enjoy sharing knowledge to be this committed. But seeing you smile when explaining things, shows you just enjoy helping those who want to listen.

    Great work Tony, have only just started reading this thread, how come i kept skipping this thread, it must of sounded like work *L*

    As Pete said, you should release your own maintanance / service manual.

    Well done.

    Lloyd,
    A kit of belts and hoses may cost you more than buying them separately. Like buying fuel filters, oil filters and air filters from the same store, you will probably end up paying too much. Most stores play ducks and drakes with their prices and by shopping around you can usually buy "brand" name goods at the same or better prices than "store brand" products. If you are in no hurry for belts, hoses, filters, etc. hand on til you find a 15% or 20% off sale and then buy what you need (plus a few extras). For example, RX Super oil was recently on sale for about $80 per 20L drum (i.e. 2 oil changes for a TD42 Patrol), so the credit card got a bit of a work out.
