Ratman2 2 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'm a mechanic, I drive a Land Rover, I've fixed several Navara's with sha*ged engines. If you expect that sort of power out of a tiny engine, also expect big repair bills. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sorel-2007 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've got a D22 on a 51 plate. My local dealer said that it was the last of the proper Nissans before Renault took over. The next model the clutch plate was too small and the new one the engine kicks out too much power. My boss bought one just over a year ago new and hates the thing. Too many niggle probs. Although my old one has been bullet proof I personally would buy a Toyota next. Had one before and couldn't knock it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob reynolds uk 3 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 i think its down to the oil they use ,they say use 5-25 ,it should be more like 15-40 far thicker and better under load Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It runs like a dream but am now worried sick about this conrod thing especially when I'm driving the kids around in it. Want to get the bearings changed. Does anyone have any idea how much this will set me back roughly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try the Knackered-Navara website mate, I am sure I saw a guy selling the bearings for £40, dont know about overall cost of fitting etc. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Jonty 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 To mealypied, If you check Knackered Navara's website, they have the engine serial numbers that are affected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
