Millet 4,497 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I had a 2004 Navara D22 and the engine went bang at 90k..and the customer servive was pathetic with very little help it cost me £11.500 to buy and i sold it 4yr's later and only got £2600 for it with a fooked engine.. ..i know of two lad's who have the D40 Navara and they have had nothing but trouble with clutch's and the diff..i have also heard bad report's about the L200 engine's having problem's too. I have heard nothing but good about Toyota Hilux and if i ever needed another crew cab it would be toyota 100%..i'm not sure about the Vigo but is that not the imported model..

Millet 4,497 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 You are one of the lucky one's bigdaz ..i bought a 2004 model one year old with 27k on the clock..4yr's later bang went the engine at 90k and i changed the oil every 5k..i would not have one given after the customer service from Nissan..infact i would not own anything manufactured by Nissan full stop..
