2006 D40 stx
2006 D40 stx auto
70000klm - new dif @10000, new talk converter @ 65000klm, snorkel kept poping of and the dropkicks at nissan just screwed it back in with a teck screw that lasted 5 min so it is better to fix that one yourself, and my favorite is the tailgate that needs to be lifted at every service and now they have finally placed a 3mm spacer under the hinges, this has lifted it back up level for the moment. also if you have a tornou cover they are just held on to the tailgate with 4 ally pop rivets, these will eventually pull off, no big deal just pop in another one but make sure that the broken half is removed from inside your tailgate as they can slide down and rub between the outer panel and a brace on the inside and dint the tailgaate from the inside out.
all that aside it is a great car

Paintwork had over 100 inclusions with crap n such. Nissan took the truck to some dodgey Paint shop in Melbourne and buffed the crap out of it. Now paintwork is totally screwed and needs to be redone. Problem is Noone in Canberra is willing to take on the job as its too big for them .
Other than that and the wrong complience plates the truck is a weapon and is great to drive.

Was nil but after service last week i was complaining about an intermittent noise from the clutch especially when towing that ceases with the slightest pressure on pedal. I was told by someone else that this was related to the clutch fork however Nissan believe its flywheel related and are going to change it.
No real stress dealer excellent. Loan car to be provided and they will keep the Nav for max 2 days.
Will keep you updated.

Nice to hear Nissan will replace the dual mass fly wheel under warranty, you sure wouldn't want to pay for a new one yourself, the fly wheels upwards of $1500 plus labour to replace.

Wife dropped the Nav off around 10 yesterday morning and was given a loan car. Picked up the Nav around the same time this morning all done. Dealer has been nothing short of sensational now will have to wait and see how car goes for noise.

Hows this for timing... I am off to north Straddie on Boxing day, and I am taking a 6m boat with me.. To to the job, I will be using low range 4x4 all the time when on the beach with the boat hitch....
So last Saturday my Low Range stopped working. It just wont engage, 4x4 hi works fine.. I contacted Nissan and it is booking on Xmas eve... cutting it a bit close I recon..

Unlucky alright Jabba.

Well I'm back from my Holiday.. I didn't take the boat due to not having low range 4x4.... but I did tow my mates camping trailer as he had doubts his Pajero towing ability..
Anyway I get to Flinders on Straddie and I thought I would see how the navara goes through the soft sand with fully inflated tyres... No good, it started to sink I could feel the tyres slip in the sand... I deflated the tyres to 20psi, and tried too engage low range... To my amazement, low range engaged... The Navara took off like it was on bitumen.. Awesome 4x4, but it needs some work like a lift kit, bigger tyres, a body lift, snorkel and decent side steps.. those things Nissan pass off as quality side steps are weak as pi$$...
