Hopefully picking up this afternoon to replace my L200.

The truck has been advertised on the Internet at a dealer with full view of its reg. no. so why did I feel the need to blank it out on the photo? :confused:

Don't these have a bit of a history of self-destructing engines?

From what I've read all the pickups have some sort of issues, one option to me was one that had done 90,000 miles and still drove like a dream. If it goes pop then it's an opportunity to get another one or maybe modify the existing engine. Every situation can be turned into an opportunity :cool:

After a bit of googling I don't think yours, being an 07 will be a problem anyway.

This seems to suggest that it was only models between 02 and 05.

Apparently they liked to chuck conrods through the block :D

You could stick one of those monster diesel beast 6 litre jobs in if it dies :)
 
I had a brand new 2008 one of these (pretty much identical apart from different load cover) and to be honest it was quite a bit of fun having no weight on the back and RWD. I did 50k in it in a year before someone decided to hit me head on in the ice. I hope you enjoy visits to the petrol station :)
 
My perents got an Xtrail recently very close to getting one of these tho, just a bit big for there needs.

I've been tempted by one or a Mitsu pickup for hauling the bikes back and forth from the tracks.

Awsome rides enjoy it!
 
I had a d22 navara for 5 years and didn't have a single cost from it other than normal servicing, literally not one problem (granted I was lucky), it was great to me. My wife wants another truck but I've got them out of my system.

Anyway, enjoy it, they're good at what they do.

Lol I find my sisters previous truck, an 06 plate Defender 110 pickup more comfy than the Navara :p

However she now owns a MissyBissy Warrior thing, that beats both of them :)
