jasper65 6 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Tell me about it Mackay, Whine :sick:? I have never head anything like it but then thats nothing new mate. I've now stuck a telly in the back for Big Bertha so she can watch Neighbours, and when she's on that time of the month she's locked in the Snug perminently until she sorts herself out ....

trappa 517 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I had a L200 that was the same. Every coner or roundabout i had to slow down as the back-end would slide all over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winchester 6 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Hi mate the slideing is the least of your problems the navara has a nasty habbet of chucking conrods through the block and thats with full service history by main dealer this has hapened to a lad off another site and the dealers want £5000 to put it wright Edited September 5, 2007 by Winchester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shell 42 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm aware of that Winchester... it's only got 38K on the clock at the mo, which isn't bad for an 2001 motor. Not too worried about that at the mo. just need to get the tyres sorted. Shell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shell 42 Posted September 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 paddy - mis-read that and thought you'd put 'don't all crew cabs have lsd'... sometimes ours is like it's on lsd! Excuse my ignorance... but what is an lsd? Had the tyres put on today, already feel a difference when driving it. Will see how it copes in the rain. I still won't be hammering it round corners and roundabouts though. Still going to take it steady. Hopefully be attached to the road a bit better now though!

Shell dont worry shell it is with the later model that the engine problem happens. i asked a fella on a navara sight that has a garage and thats all he does the navara. he told me the ones after 2001 model was the bad engine ones.
