Thanks! If I were put off by common issues then I wouldn’t buy anything ever

@@HighPeakAutos After all many issues are common only because the car is popular.

@@Mietas2 exactly just like the BMW timing chains it only affected less then 2% of cars but because it is so popular people think it’s common for chain to fail.

Er, chassis comment was said in fun, there are one or two Toyotas here when similar problem! But that was criticised, and yet my point of it going to Ukraine to me was the most important and not mentioned…

From what I remember the issue with the Navara was down to incorrect settings on welding machines so once that was sorted they were OK

😂

I has to drive a Chevy Colorado a few years back. It was the one that's the same as the Isuzu D-Max rather than the US version which is bigger. That went a lot faster than I imagined. Obviously a heavier load would effect it.

They are slow and cumbersome, he didn't prove otherwise you just think that.

@@Storm.Z.4u the speed was flying down that road gave me the impression it wasn’t, even if indeed it is 😀

@@Storm.Z.4u people are entitled to say what they want without petty criticism. You must have something better to do, like making sure your comments are without fault thus avoid being a hypocrite.

@@Storm.Z.4u Disagree - I own a newer 3.0L variant of this truck - on performance touring tyres it'll break 8 seconds 0-60 and is surprisingly chuckable with progressive steering and overall good feedback (despite some vagueness at times) the steering overall is light but weighting up nicely in the corners - it puts most medium to large size crossovers I've driven to shame. The model I have also has transmission/electronics based off the 370Z so is reasonably responsive with again nice progressive power delivery and fast smooth gear changes. The only thing in that respect which is lacking is the ride quality which partly thanks to the rear leaf springs is more akin to a 90s era 4x4. Even the 2.5L variant isn't terrible though the engine is far more industrial like rattly diesel compared to the 3.0 and a bit more jerky in comparison - though pretty strong if you need a workhorse for towing, etc. That said given it is over 2tons of truck needs a lot of responsibility to drive in any kind of spirited fashion and I certainly don't rag it around the road.

or the wheel bearing falling off, the noisy one he mentioned...

🤣

Great idea!

they all got recalled, we [as dealers] had to decide whether it was scrapped, sent back to spain to get chassis nailed back together, or thick underseal put on. a few got kicked out of the claim altogether, those are the dangerous buys...

Cost a absolute fortune to run and tax do these

Yes that’s right!

What's the mileage now? You should consider changing the timing chain though.

I've been holding on to my D40 Navara as long as I can but it is getting costly now. I have the 3.0L Outlaw model - such a vastly underestimated truck.

@@Rroff2 Decent power and a 7 speed box. Just add a DAB radio and I would say that would be the perfect truck - they are still fetching £15k with low miles. If they weren't so expensive I would love to run a cheap commuter and have an outlaw as a lifestyle vehicle.

@@jjs3287 That is what I'm doing now with the high fuel prices - but the Outlaw is starting to get costly - just had to drop a grand on replacing intercooler and some other bits to keep it running and is going to need chassis treatment to last longer term. They are such great trucks though when in good running order.

You are correct Tom. Same issue happened with my car with plates transferred from one car to the other.

You’re right

You will not understand unless you drive a Range Rover, the proper ones. Why they’re the best car in the world. IMO.

@@cb3580 Give me an example of a proper one?

@@vemundr9263 I mean a full size Range Rover. The “proper ones” not the Range Rover sport. The “proper one” being the L405 onwards.

@@cb3580 Didn't expect such a fast response, thanks, I generally delete my comments afterwards. But do tell, what makes it as others put it. The best car in the world? Ride quality? Power? Never been in one so I can't fathom and I'm thinking in a few years when I'm set up enough to buy either a Cayenne, Touareg but thinking of also a Rover

@@vemundr9263 not a problem good sir. In my opinion they’re the best cars in the world due to a focus on luxury and the new onboard technology. Plus the latest Land Rover engineering means that it feels extremely capable even off-road. Strong engine line ups and it has a 7 seats available if needed.

I guess it is different in the UK. How on earth can a plate be worth anything? Can you explain?

My daughter got a navvy in august 18 when she moved outback for work,a manual 2.5,07 diesel from a dealer for 12500 $ ,clutch went but the warranty covered half the cost,she went back to the city for work and sold it on gumtree for 11800 six months ago,it was very reliable while she had it.

15k for a damaged 2006 Navara in Australia stop smoking that funny weed its fogging your brain

He's got a car dealership and he sells them.

😂

Get real, it's a cheap 🐖 no point spending loads on it, as it will then just be an expensive 🐖

@@Storm.Z.4u seems decent apart from the damage, £4-500 for a replacement would still leave some room for profit, at the moment probably only worth what he paid for it.

yes. it is. :)

Curious to know the reason why. I'm thinking of buying one for farm use it would really help to know its pros & cons

@@boblion4186 Hi bob, it was a few years ago and I can’t really remember all the reasons but he certainly rated the engine, the build quality and the reliability. I’m not sure if Navara in Thailand is the same vehicle as Navara in other markets, I say this because now I am living in Europe and Nissan vehicles here seem to be very different from the Nissan vehicles in Thailand.

@@andrewstones2921 thanks Andrew that's still helpful & a confidence booster

Best you've ever had, speaks volumes about the other vehicles you've had.

@@Storm.Z.4u yes it does B. I’ve not been blessed with huge pool to choose from as a works vehicle, but against the Mitsubishi l200 the first edition of the Ford ranger, it was head and shoulders above the rest. And with no benefit in kind to the tax man it’s still a commercial vehicle no added cost to me, so why wouldn’t I love a 4x4 with leather , sat nav , a/c heated seats ect ect kids and family all fit in great for European holiday trips room in the rear pickup compartment and not pay for the weekend diesel , win win I’d say.

@@keithmyerscough9900 You can buy yourself a car you know, you don't have to rely on the charity of others.

@@Storm.Z.4u give your head a shake. Company vehicles goes with a lot of professional trades. Perks of the job. Just I’m not Mondeo man.
