Dowen Pest Control Solutions 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well i have a stinker of a week sold my Navara some one was picking it up on monday well thursday it died on me took it to nissan and on friday was told the piston had bust and bust top and bottom engine block and then told £230 please Nissan wanted £6000 to fit a new engine. It had only 110,000 miles and had full service history well i phoned around and was speaking to a gentleman who reconditions and refits them for £3000 but advised me not to do this has the Navara engine is crap and it will happen again so said get rid on e-bay i thanked him for his honesty as he had just talked me out of him fitting a engine and he told me to look at 4x4 Forum i had a look and there and there are many incidents on there one farmer bought 3 Navaras for his farm had full service history and between ,000 and 100,000 miles every navara engine had blown hes gone back to Land rover. Any way bought mine last year for £10,000 and sold it last night for £2000 so lost £8000 and the rest i spent on it so any one else got a navara beware i will never have a Nissan again even if i was given one.

jasper65 6 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I'll be Honest with you this is one thing that plays on my mind since I've owned one , its now done 91,000 and by what I have read in the past mainly on the Navara forum below and other places on the net its due to blow its top . If you look on this site you'll find a few thats gone Bang, mainly the D22 . Cheers Jasper http://www.nissan-navara.net/index.php?sid...0e49996c656170e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nelson 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Ah well Jasper, the old Postman Pat mobile here has only done 90 K and are reknowned for going round the clock seriously though i don't know if there are any trouble free motor's, though the only one 's that have never given me a moments bother have been Subaru, Suzuki and this little baby. I suppose it's a bit like looking for a good woman, and i speak from experience here, set your sites low and you can't be dissapointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dowen Pest Control Solutions 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) I agree with you nelson i have had several 4x4s and cars over the years things go wrong but i think the most expensive thing i had go wrong was a fuel pump on a P38 Range Rover £1000 it had done 140,000 miles so dont mind paying it and you know when its done good as new but i refuse to pay £3000 for a engine to be told might last a month or 6 months but if your lucky 100,000 miles a diesel engine should be just run in at that not blowing up. I have paid £50 for a car 12 months tax and test petrol with 150,000 and run it for several years only buying tyres ect. Thanks for your reply Jasper keep my fingers crossed for you.

jasper65 6 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Thats puts mine well and truely in the danger zone! its a 2002 model , I'll be honest I can't fault it but have been a bit worried when I keep hearing about the engines blowing their lids, I also have hassle with the seat belts not reeling back, its a piss off when you can't shut the door cause the belt hangs out of the bottom!! I had the same sort of hassle with my MK1 Escort 24 years ago .... Cheers Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SHOT Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I,d be mighty worried owning one of these after reading your post pestie 110000 miles services up to date.... is shocking and a common problem by the sound of it, my condolences i second what you say nelson had a couple of them 4 traks best value for money ive ever had in a motor if you can put up with the lack of space in the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
