Hi guys sorry I don't introduce myself but I have a really bad problem and I hope you guys help me out. The other day I went offroading with my friends and I hit a rock with my navara d40 that bent the skid plate and hit the tank of my radiator so coolant started leaking. I went to the dealership and they wanted to charge me 1000 dollars.... My problem is that I don't live in the UK I'm from Peru so I can't buy anything I see on ebay but I have a friend that imports stuff from the USA so.... I was wondering if the radiator in the Nissan Frontier(navara) v6 gasoline is the same as the one in the d40 2.5?? Because if it is I might save more than 500 dollars in a spare part... I really hope you guys can help I'm in big trouble here..

You would be able to get a 2nd hand one from somewhere but postage would be a killer. I suggest you get a descent bash plate for it to protect the radiator for future

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear about the damage - as Scotty says, some protective plates would be a big help. Some versions had transmission coolers in the radiator as well, so you really do need to be careful about which one you get. I think you'd be best trying to get the actual part number for your vehicle's radiator then see whether the Nissan part number for the Frontier is the same.

If it is not too bad you could try to fix it with some epoxy stuff such as "Knead it". worth it to give it a go.
Good luck

Well guys i went to a radiator shop this morning to try and get mine fixed... And the mechanic told me that the crack actually isn't that bad is really small and he put some fiberglass on top of it and it is working fine but he told me that it would be a temporary fix .... So if you guys know Anyone selling an original radiator for a Nissan navara d40 manual please let me know because I think it would still be cheaper than buying it here.... And thanks for all the advices
