Hi Guys I too am going through this very same process at the moment. I guess fortunately for me I am a motorcycle suspension technician and have my own workshop in Brisbane. I have decided to go with some slightly modified rear shock springs from a motorcycle that fit the bill quite nicely. I...

G'day blokes and blokettes I haven't posted here for some time due to life getting in the way etc. We all know the stories, just different start and end points. Well I have finally made a start to adding a camper to my truck. I have purchased a pantech and will remodel / build out the interior...

Phone Steve at Pinnicle 4X4 in Randall Street, Slacks Creek. He is a diesel expert and very talented with the light trucks. I have taken my Canter and Patrol to him in the past.

G'day all, Due to a variety of reasons I have to sell my '07 FG 649 Canter. I am putting it out here first to see if anyone here is interested. I finally have it all sorted out, and now need to sell. Lifes like this sometimes. I have 6 new wheels and tyres from Kym Bolton on it. It currently...

Thanks for the link Javajoe. Unfortunately they are all for the 4m50 engine. So, while some items may be relevant others completely useless to me. I need to keep looking I feel.

G'Day blokes and blokettes, I am in urgent need of a wiring diagram and associated info of where to find certain components for my 2007 FG649 before I set fire to it. My main issue is the air-con, blower motor circuits etc. I would like to know what the high current fuses are for down by the...

I have an issue with the low air pressure light coming on alot and the brake pedal almost goes to the floor. Somewhat alarming in city traffic. I have new drums and shoes, wheel cylinders etc. Also I have just bled the system again and still no better really.

G'day Blokes and Blokettes, How can we go about improving the brakes on these beasts????? Do we put on a bigger air pump??? A bigger air tank??? Whats the answer to improving our problem. Stock brakes seem to be somewhat woeful. Any help is better than none.

Finally Fixed G'day blokes and blokettes, Well a long time in the making here, but I have finally fixed the exhaust brake problem I have had. The fix was... another computer. Turns out the combinations of dry joints and a leaky capacitor or some such jargon. Anyway... all fixed. By the...

OK gentlemans I have replaced the fuel filter, the old one looked spotless, no water, no debris of any sort. It had done about 7000kms. But here is a question and an observation... I had a good look at the primer pump on the injector pump. All looked good. Nice and clean and dry all around and...

Thanks gentlemens, I will investigate all the theories above and get back to you. Saturday will be a big day.

I have a scan gauge in my Nissan Patrol... Will that work in the Canter??? I thought the Canter was Mutt 3 or some other strange system.

G'day blokes and blokettes. I have a problem. Tricky to describe really, but here goes. Please tell me what you think... I'm a big boy.... I can take it. We went away on holiday 2 weeks ago towing a 1.5 ton camper behind the canter. The back full of assorted crap, you know the drill. 4...

I have a query. I hope someone may be able to help me with my thinking. Just recently I had the opportunity to travel in a Rosa bus. It went exceptionally well for what it was and loaded how it was. My query is this... What would be involved in adapting a Rosa ECU into a Canter and would there...

Ok, lets look at what the electrician had done. He reported to me that he had isolated all of the components on the wiring diagram. (I had provided this to him so that he had the right one.) According to him they all tested to be working fine. He then started to probe the wires as they entered...
