My NP 300 (2016) has done 241000 kms (150000 miles), of which 100000 miles has been towing up too 3.5 ton all over Europe. During this time I’ve had the vehicle regularly serviced by Nissan and apart from the bottom hose rubbing against the bottom pulley and a new battery, the vehicle has been very reliable. Ive averaged 33 mpg over the last 4 years including towing. The engine pulled well even though i was fully loaded and towing nearly 3.5 tons up in The Alps and through the Mont Blanc tunnel, apart from a slight increase in temperature and the viscous fan kicking in, there were no other issues. i personally have found this truck to be comfortable, reliable and economic, low servicing costs at my local Nissan garage (Westway Nissan), so in a nutshell, the truck has been great and i think its not had an easy life but has been well looked after. The truck runs on General Grabber AT3’s.
Bet it has woolen seat covers too..
In my experience they they are very reliable. Good to hear your story
What were your oil change intervals for the truck?
I spoke to your colleague on the phone yesterday about advise for fixing boost on my 10 plate tekna, changed the fuel filter like she told me and hey presto full boost is back. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work guys✌🏻👍
You know you have made it in life when you got a R34 GTR in your garage
Shouldnt the 2.3 dci be the same as in my renault master tow truck? FYI after 2 years ive got 360.000km down with at least 3500kg of weight driving around. With trailer attached u can do the math. For now ZERO failures or breakdowns, first injectors, first turbos, first clutch, nothing but regular service. So this is the best engine we ever used in our fleet!!!
Timing chain does not take the load of the vehicle when towing it is simply to turn the valve train on a engine
I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS, BUT I SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE...
It's a timing chain not a prop shaft. It doesn't have to pull 3.5t
My mate's d40's timing chain skipped a tooth and then the valves met the pistons. You need a double chain. He got the motor rebuilt with it upgraded, we're finishing the engine install today.
When you are towing load you are most likely turning higher rpms (lower gear) for long sustained periods of time. So it would help if the timing chain was heavy duty.
@@ztech6596 How did it work when they only used timing belts?
They're making it make more power so it can pull the 3.5t. Of course the chain itself's not pulling that, but it's in an engine that's puffed up to be powerful enough to pull that, and they've left that chain in there. It's like some teenager having a go at a DIY turbo kit on their Sentra, but they don't do anything to the internals, then wonder why it blows up.
@@ATDistinction They were replaced in shorter intervals. And its not like those belts are that much weaker than chains.
Thanks bro. I really love such independent informative videos. Its great to watch content from someone who does not lick the car manufactures boots. Nissan is already out of my list. Toyota with its DPF problem is also out of my wish list. Can you please to another one about reliability of the underdog of UTES market, Mitsubishi Triton.
Great vid👍I from Australia thanks for head up on this as I was thinking upgrading to new 300
Hey mate, love your videos. I work for Nisan for a short period and I remember doing one of these pumps at the back of the motor. Call think the easier way to do it would be to leave the motor on the chassis and lift the cab up off of the chassis we were able to do this in just over an hour and a half.
Rissen actually recommended removing the cab from the chassis as it’s a bit easier than taking the motor out separately. If you’ve got a hoist in the room I reckon this will save you heaps and labour if you can get it down pat. I’m also looking at buying one of your chain upgrade kits for a D 40 Thailand bill, have you got a link I can go to? Love the videos thanks for sharing
Keep up the great videos mate wanted to get an np300 but now i will have to reconsider.
Bought my 2018 few years back new, tows and goes offroad like a champ VERY HAPPY WITH MINE
new navara motor is not a yd motor it does not come from the d22 or the xtrails it comes from the renault master vans and its a completely different motor
100% agree with Dangermouse. Engine torque has nothing to do with the timing chain. It drives the cam or cams not the vehicle wheels. So unless the cam inertia on the smaller unit is less then the new larger unit there is not a problem.
This guy hate his job. Sorry, but it's almost impossible to listen to all those negative comments. Since when timing chain is reposponsible for pulling (3,5t)?!
Stop talking things like that and instead explain, that all customers suppose to change oil frequently, not every 30.000km! and everything is going to be OK.
I was thinking in getting one of this I thought they were super reliable as my dad has a d22 with nearly 400k kilometers and cero problems but here is why !!! Is the 2.4 Petrol engine incredible good engine !!!
So now I’ll have to look for a different make !! Maybe Isuzu dmax
I realise I’m late to the party as far as commenting.
I have a 2014 D40 dual cab with the 2.5lt turbo engine.
I’ve done almost 170,000 in 6yrs and never missed a beat, still on original clutch pack, original brake pads front & rear, never had an issue!
Great vid.... Christ that's a real eye opener with Nissan/Reno . In reference to a previous vid on injectors dumping fuel into oil the D max has a third notch on the dip stick that I watch very closely :D
Dude, its pretty clear to me from so many of your videos you don't like Nissan....have never had any issues with my D40 V9X....
I got the car for recreational purposes I will NEVER tow, does those timing chain problems come when you regularly carry stuff?
I thought the Engine was what they call an "Alliance" engine made by Renault and used by many. In the Renault Master (and if it is the 2.3 Alliance engine) then they are good for 200k miles and that's proven. Also, Nissan guarantee this engine for 100k or 5 years, so why would someone bring it to this establishment and not Nissan dealer, surely the vehicle has not covered 100K already?? Everyone seems to pan the new Nav but I have heard 3.2 rangers giving up at 30K, new hilux rusting, d maxs' not changing gears(autos).
christian collett oil cooler goes in the ranger both 2.2 and 3.2 are crap I'm sticking with Isuzu been running them for years and never been nothing serious
Agree we run masters this engine easy does 300k+ no problems. 3rd one now. Great engine
A manual dmax will be around longer then you their engines are good up to 500k kms without any major engine work and isuzu claim this
Nissan warranty is 100,000km or 3 years.
@@gravelsandwich it's changed mine has 160.000km or 5 years guarantee
Hey mate just want to let you know you can also disconnect wiring loom from ECU in engine bay, and Trans to leave on engine when removing. If wiring loom does have to be removed from engine for whatever reason its much easier and quicker when the engine is out of the vehicle if the engines coming out anyway.
This lads problem is he's dealing with these cars in his shop all the time because he's a specialist for those cars. Did you know the ford EcoBoost engine has had repeated issues with timing chain stretch, turbo leaks, injector issues? (The same shit nissan engines suffer with and every other turbo diesel engine for that matter) Well that's what happens when you don't maintain your vehicles. There's a reason people say you need to maintain your trucks engine meticulously, especially when being put to work. If you just leave your services to the 18000 miles it says in the handbook, eventually your engine will break regardless of what make and model it is. If you maintain them properly then you'll never have an issue
good to know. i was about to drop some cash on the np300 downunder..... ill wait and look around
@west yorkshire engine services. for the average outdoorsy family wanting buy the np300 2wd auto, would you say it would be too risky to own one of these? or is there something one could do apart from regular maintanence that would ensure good quality of life from the vehicle. ?? good truck? bad truck?
Buy with 5yr/100k warranty. Replace vehicle before either run out. And your good right?
I buy new np300 auto V series early 2017..till now milage 325+++km..every month runnning 13-14k km with 250-300kg capacity load..so far engine still good speed good just caring oil engine water tank auto oil and mostly imprtant water battery..
Timing chain allows for valvetrain sync.. I’m maybe missing something here.
But other than towing raising EGT and fuel consumption.
I’m not sure how this stresses the timing chain additionally. Unless he means the greater working temp?
Cheers bud. You’re a legend my bro....
I'm sure you'll have alot less failures with the 2.3 block including the timing chain. There are no failures on the Master/Movano who share the same block. Only the oil sump is a bit different. The chain is the same design as the 2.0 dci but longer and has been upgraded since the early 2.0dci years;)
I have a 2016 NP300 in the first year I lost reverse (faulty gearbox), today I have already driven over 80,000klms with no problems...if your specializing in the Nissan brand don't knock it to much.
That’s a nice R34 GTR in the back ground with a RB26 engine!! Now that’s a proper quality Nissan engine!!
You said it mate 72k miles with big end failure, not an issue we will put it back even better yet standard as we can to let the next owner do the Mods and remaps he wants to do, Mega wanted in the USA!
I have a heavily modified np300 power mods,suspension you name it utes making 240hp 560nm and has been for the last 90xxx now on 100xxx and still been extremely reliable
I have a d40 with 250.000 miles on the clock. And no major issues at all! All I have done is just service regularly.
I hope you put the crank lock out and injector pump phasing pins in before you remove or mess with that timing chain
Des, I saw Renault stamp so you got answer about engine,,,
Maximum load on the engine occurs when maximum torque is actually utilised. Maximum torque is actually produced by these engines at quite low revs and it is the pulsing of cylinders firing at these low rev-high torque situations that puts most stress on components. I'm not enough of an engineer to know how much extra load this engine's timing chain comes under due to running maximum torque, but it won't be all that much and taking into account that the same load exactly is produced when pulling maximum torque when not towing, such as when pulling hard up hill at the torque converter's stall speed. The stall speed usually coincides with the revs at which max torque is produced, which explains why such a fully loaded engine on an automatic transmission is reluctant to rev past approx 2000 to 2200rpm until load is reduced.
Personally I don't see towing to be a significant factor in valve-train wear, although constant high torque and high power towing will inevitably load the pistons, con-rods and crank significantly and increase heat at the top end which needs to be carried away by the coolant.
Imagine paying for a repair to this engine at a Mercedes dealership. Even the Mercedes truck depots will be charging around £100/hour I presume.
Huw Williams don’t forget the gearbox
Just remember that these D23 (NP300) Navara's have a 5 YEAR, 100,000 mile Manufacturers full warranty. No need to worry if you follow the manufacturer service schedules and have fitted it with genuine parts in the process. Simple.
Hello GuyF, I'm afraid you are wrong, the vehicle that is in the video has been bought from a third party company that buys in bulk from Nissan them selves and sells them on under their own company, without any warranty at all. We were surprised and shocked ourselves when we asked the customer about existing warranty, and because he bought it from the third party it didn't come with a Nissan warranty.
Future advice, if you are buying one make sure it's from Nissan, and not sold on behalf of a third party.
Depending on what country your from you should be protected from by the relevant consumer law that a product should stand up to the expectation of reasonable reliability when used within the definition of "normal use" so I find it extremely hard to believe that you can buy a new vehicle with absolutely no warranty... Its basically illegal and you can take it back to Nissan directly or through the 3rd party for the warranty claim.
Hi Nathan, all New Nissan's, IF European Specification, come with a Pan-European Manufacturers warranty. When a vehicle is registered (wherever in Europe it is registered) the Warranty is set-up as car cannot be released until the certificate is produced electronically. if you give me the VIN I can tell you where it was built, where it was first registered, by whom, and what warranty it has with it.
That’s you only going to keep your vehicle for 100k kms. Which to me about 2 years
But remember if you do more KMs you are not covered under warranty
I have a 2005 d40 yd25ddti its done 386000 kms and sounds and goes healthy as no engine work still on original clutch and timing chain even with towing boats and horse float on newzealand roads just servicing every 5000 kms one thing the local Nissan service agent said is stay away from the Renault powerd vehicles.
daniel graham that's really lucky ...my clutch failed at 36000km no towing, changed to 30000km since then no problems
daniel graham same clutch? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Is it a toy car you have 😂🤣
That’s because it’s a Japanese built car......the later models are built in Thailand, just saying
daniel graham , well graham, I've got 2 yes (silly me) 2 d40's sitting out front, both less than 150k. Both timing chain issue, both useless. Nissan used 2 different types and I got the dud. Both serviced on time, treated kindly and both shit. Best part, Nissan change the crap chain and I offered to pay for double row...... nope. Put the shit chain back..... bought a 79 Toyota ...... need a spare bud?
Mate, I've got to pull you up on the timing chain comments.
Firstly, you don't tow with the timing chain....
The fact that the engine can now tow 3.5t VS 2t of the smaller unit is completely irrelevant to the timing chain.
Second, yes it is a simplex chain, and not as durable as a twin row, but it has a lot less work to do now than the early YD engine's lower chain did.
Third, my Australian owners handbook states to replace the chain at 300,000km.
The YD had no recommendations on mileage, if the YS chain on my vehicle fails prior to this point, I'll definitely be talking to Nissan in regards to warranty.
Perhaps some of the architecture is shared with the earlier engines, but things like the long single run chain, single mass flywheel and much better power delivery make it a winner in my book.
(owner and 35yr motor mechanic)
Dangermouse agree, what’s the timing chain got to do with towing capacity?
Brett Cashmore the towing capacity has no effect on the timing chain, unless you don’t have a D shackle and decide to smash the front of your engine looking for a substitute. Seriously though, I have never heard anyone else make a reference between the two factors, and I have been a mechanic for over twenty years.
CHeWy
No current failures in Australia since the model release in 2015. In this country almost every D23 has a towbar, they're bought to tow and many are well past the previous D40 failure 100,000km point.
CHeWy explain exactly how towing has an effect on the timing chain please, enlighten us all.
Im from Australia i have a 2015 model mid range with 112,000 km. I dont tow daily but a few times a year of loads up to 3.2ton. My car is still going strong. I used it for city, highway and 4x4 every chance i get. I can assure you that timming chain is 100% okay. Main problems at the moment in Australia is some sump leaks, boost solenoid and some people rear main seal leak. And they all show up early so warranty takes care of that happily
Your videos are fairly informative but your argument re. the chain and tow capacity sort of let you down. You are probably a good mechanic with good knowledge of these engines but you are clearly not a mechanical engineer. The timing chain has the same loading on it if you are running empty or at gross train weight. Even if you really labour an engine, the load is still the same on the timing system, fast engine speeds and sudden changes in speed have more of an impact on the timing system than anything else. Towing load has an impact on the crank, it's bearings and the components that 'drive' it. i.e. pistons and associated components (including block).
"fast engine speeds and sudden changes in speed"...you mean like when towing heavy loads?
you are clearly not a mechanical emgineer as well，LOL
@@oldtrekyour a idiot. I am a mechanic engineer and he’s 💯 correct.
@@agt155 Everything he wrote is absolutely correct. The timing chain has absolutely nothing to do with load behind the vehicle or vehicle weight. It just turns the cams and has constantly load from opening the valves . The mechanic in this video makes an absolutely ridiculous statement
@@AndyL940 So you're saying extra heat soak created by high duty cycle operation has no effect on valve train components?
Hi,
Have you had P0638 & P24a8 codes on this model? Can you share your experience on it please
Thanks!
Hi Des, hoping you can help, I’ve just bought a 14 plate Nav and I put it in 4WD this morning and reversed up a steep drive, it felt like the hand brake was on 🤔 and then when I set off it leapfrogged down the road until I got it in 3rd , is this normal?
Do you think with regular servicing it will be ok.?
I’ve got an 06 pathfinder, I bought it from an old bloke who retired from driving and it’s only done 27,000 miles. What milage would you recommend having the chain done?
Around 80k so you should be ok for now!
I'm 17 years old.....the load of the vehicle "maximum weight and lowest, least weight" make no difference on the overall load of the timing chain.
Hey des you have not posted for awhile what is your latest opinion on the D23. Thanks
Like the skyline in the side shot.💪👍
after using in my family diferent models of nissan, we had a patrol sd33, terrano r20, navara d22, navara d40 and at the moment a nissan pathfinder r51 I was thiking to buy the new nissan navara, after seen this video I am not changing the pathfinder, I need a pick up for my job, I will get a toyota hilux o are old nissan d22
interesting comment on timing chain - but isn't this engine used on countless Renault vans for 100's of k miles?
Serous question, how does the timing chain have anything to do with tow capacity?
Doesn't it just spin the cam shaff?
hi, great video bud, this maybe a really stupid question and a very simple answer, how do you get the leak off pipe unclipped from an injector on a 2017 navara?
Hey, I live in Jamaica and have one of these Navaras with the 2.3 twin turbo and as you said it cut the radiator hose and overheated and needs a full rebuild. Could you tell me where can I can find the parts?
You know, I reckon I'll keep hold of my Land-Rover 200 Tdi, might not be any ball of fire but it's overbuilt and designed to be accesible.
Funny, I remember before the Tdi came in and Land-Rover owners were swapping in Nissan diesels because they were durable and quality. How the mighty are fallen eh?
What about the Toyota or D max thinking about getting one don’t know which one is best first time getting a van
i've been watching this nissan videos that you are makeing.... where did u put ur hands on this new np 300 engine??? in another video with the same car(this silver np 300),you are telling us that there is a problem with the radiator hose...now that the engine is crap..and the exhaust o-ring is crap..AND THE WHOLE CAR IS CRAP! lol,why do u like to work and learn about crap cars?? i own an np 300 tekna with 2.3 190 cp,only problem that it has is the front brakes( too small for this huge car).
You are so on to nissan cars," everything is crap" really?? drive the car 50000 km with no failures and then speak...
This video is not informative,it does not show the real problems,all that u are sayng is that everything can brake,its corect,but anything can brake at any another car...i think im the lucky one,my np 300 have no problems yet..i expect the worse..LOL
If u hate ur job( working on this crap cars),find a good car to make videos about.
AND i still dont getit,why do u work on a car that has warranty????? for more wiews perhaps...
have a nice day!
100% Agree 👍 He likes making videos, look at his body language, he thinks he's in a soap! LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your nissan is crap face it
@@tylert6573 Well I guess your single and you've just confirmed what you do with your socks. I'm sorry I do agree that engine torque has no effect on a timing chain! Your obviously not an engineer. It's good he has done alot of good work for people in your opinion. I'm confirming a fact! Have fun with your socks. 😂😂😂
@@davidfields7454
Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands with that quick reply, probably not the only things on your hands considering you don't use a sock.
And no I'm not single married 5 years with 2 kids self employed
Nor am I a engineer and I didn't claim to be
Cars and engines are a hobby but I'll tell you one thing I'll take his word that those chains ain't strong enough.
He should know he only fixes d40s and d22s every day 😂😂
Just move on lad no one likes you
done over 50000km in my np 300 2015 , not one problem
. this includes at least 5000 towing a 2.6 tonne caravan is Western Australia's harsh outback
With your knowledge you should be able to put a few Nissan together and end up with the perfect car
How ye all rate the v6 dci, had one and it drove great and was better on fuel than my new 2.4 hilux
Marcus Gerard 10 out of 10 buddy they got it spot on with the v6
I have a 2015 NP 300 D23 (2wd Manual). The engine light has come on and the car's water temp seems to heat up quickly, but stays at the usual temp level once it gets there. Any suggestions as to the problem. Thanks.
What a pile of junk! Cost saving exercises at the customers expense. Unbelievable
Yeah, not sure why anyone would spend money fixing a Nissan, just sell it and get a real/proper car!
What are your thoughts on the V9X engine in the D40?
I’ve just done a google search on your company and it comes up with your company is no longer trading?? Is this correct?
The only load on the timing chain comes from the valve springs and cam followers. The chain doesn't feel the effects of towing .01T or 10T, so not sure where that line of thought is going. But the other things you point out are valid, it is clearly a cheap engine, nothing like Nissan engineering pre-Renault, 1980 - 2005 glory days. But it must be good for business as the more crap they build, the more work you get?
So why the same chain snap more often in np300s over xtrail or qashqai?
No wonder why dealers have many around 40tkm driven Navaras at really discount prices. I will never look them again, thanks from the tip :D
that is weird how you don't think too highly of the D22, I've almost 400,000Km out of my one & it has been pretty reliable over that time
2.2 dci? You mean?
I am driving one . 200 k kms done .
Hello I drive a 2009 Nissan hardbody double cab. I know am abit old skool well dats what I can afford . I love your videos so much . Can you make a video about the 2.4lt KA24 engine please. Tanx once more .
They don't have the ka24 in the UK
Hi im looking to but a pick up in all honesty would you recommend a np300 all I here is how shit the engine is also what pick up would you recommend is the l200 or hi lux better options
Don’t forget the Spanish dual cab D40 Navarra brought in to Australia when they could not get Asian built vehicles. Very weak chassis not suitable for Australian off road towing. There is a flex point just behind the cab that bends upwards. Mine bent twice, each time the insurance paid for it to be bent back but would not pay fot the flex point to be re-enforced. I ended up stripping the tray and fuel tank out and welded in re-enforcing. Then there is the saga of the catalytic converter that did not work. The local Nissan dealer sourced by pass section and fitted free. Of charge. If you have a Spanish built D40 check out the flex point and keep a close eye on it.
It's not just a flex point, the chassis rusts out from the inside. There's loads of photos online showing the rust, cracks and fixes.
My personal experience. I have a Nissan D22 4x4 2.4l 4 cylinder, 450000 Km no problems, periodic maintenance every 10000Km.
2.2 dci ?
What do you recons better then d40 or the np300 or the Ford ranger current model?
What’s your Oporto the 2004 Toyota RAV4 VVTI as an suv and the motor ?
Engine speed is what effects timing chain or gear wear as well as backlash, not load , i thought this was common knowledge . Now since this engine can produce peak torque as low as 1500 rpm then timing chain wear is insignificant . if you choose to always grab your peak torque at 3500 rpm you may run into problems as with any engine
If you hate Nissan so much change to another brand. you have built your reputation on slagging them off.
Renault Nissan built their own terrible reputation.
I dont like this video. I dont Know what Kind of nissan you have in your country, but here in latín american, one of the best pick up is nissan. They are really good, and dont have all those problem that you said.
What a Nissan frontier?, Identical motor variants
I am planning on swapping this engine into nissan frontier. Please inform me if this swap buid is worth it of consideration.
How do you feel about the vq40de ?
Nissan recommends taking the cab off, not pull the engine. Might have saved you those 3 hours...
How was the old 2.7 diesel
Terrano?
Hi mate thanks for the video I'm really love Ur Chanel but even Mercedes Benz they are but this engine in them cars x class Ute so???
I have the np300 with 190hp diesel engine. You said the chain is to small for this car. At which kilometer (80.000km) or miles do I have to change the chain. What woul you say? And how often do I have to change the engine ool. The servie told me every 30.000km is this enugh?
Given its so new, why isn't it at a dealer and getting warranty work.
Not trying to defend Nissan (who seem to have lost the plot) but if your argument is that this 3L engine is basically a 2L engine with bigger pistons then, presumably, the valves, cams etc don't change much - so why would there be any more strain on the timing chain? Towing capacity has nothing to do with timing chain wear.
R Down it is not a 3.0l its a 2.3l. And offcorse that 3,5 tonn towing capassetti is going to have an effect on the timing chain. Way more pressure on the engine
Not sure how. The timing chain turns the cam. Unless the valves are heavier or the cam lift higher then the load on the chain will be identical irrespective of what the vehicle is towing.
R Down take the chains and see ur engine will work just saying lol
Towing heavy loads wears out all vehicle components quicker, it is a simple principal.
@@TrueBlueEG8 Not so, plenty of components which will work identically whether towing a heavy load or not. There is a good TH-cam video showing how engines work and if you go to your local library I am sure they can help you apply to some mechanical engineering degree courses then you will know what you are talking about.
Just checking but a 12 month old car doesn’t it have 5 years warranty with all Nissan Navaras I’m looking at getting one and I’ve been told it has warranty what’s the reason it didn’t go back to Nissan thanks love the videos
Yes it should have a warranty but the warranty was not with Nissan but another company who washed there hands with it so sad but true
@@westyorkshireengineservice9160bullshit
I have watched this video many times along with most of your others. I am keen to buy a Navara (17-18 plate) so I have called you twice for advice and spoke to the same lady twice who told me there is no problem with the NP300 except for a coolant hose recall. You are clearly dissing this engine here, I just don’t get it.
What should I choose then? Np300 (new navara on 18 plate) OR new hilux on 18 plate?
Cheers
nissan has since gotten better dude, and Hilux has its fair share of problems also...nissan has that car like feel to and i'm 6'6" so the head and leg room are massive compared to the the hilux
I have one. I like it.
In My country the NP300 comes with a 2.5 diesel, I don't think is the same engine
Sow i should buy me a ford Ranger 3.2 L diesel then???just asking. I was just going to buy me the nissan np 300 and explore the Baja, from tijuana to Cabo with my family and its 90% desert.
Thinking of buying a 2016?
Would you rather a Ranger over the Navara?
I was the same , Nissans were good once, since the d22 d40 nightmares we have absolutely nothing to do with Nissan's, they did the dirty on too many freinds and family members, so now we all go with Toyota 4wds. Landcruisers.
Buddy you are so right I honestly said to Suzanne today after seeing this I DO NOT WANT TO BE A NISSAN ENGINE SPECIALIST ANY MORE, what a total let down. It's like they really do not want the engine to last beyond 100k.
Mate to further back sh@t up Denso Fuel injection is also SH@T.
Look at the bright side, you will never be without work ;D
West yorkshire engine services, just your basic modern cars these days are a disaster ,its obvious they are not built to last, i get tired of fixing things that shouldn't fail so early in a cars life ,I'm actually wondering what they're gearing up towards , probably 100% electric.
Specialize in Subaru then lol
Is this issue with current Navara gasoline engine??!?😐
Here is a question... are Mercedes Benz using this engine in their new X-Class ute, which is a Navara in drag with tiara and pearls.
Omg you have a bleu skyline in.your shop cool
There is a reason that most Aussie mining companies won't use Nissan. Don't really need to say anything else!
I won't be getting rid of my 550 soon that's for sure
You know what to do in a decade forward 😃😃
Ohh well sir....
sorry sir.... I have a nissan truck ... It had 236703 kms on it..... Funny thing though it never gives up.... And i guaranty you... It still runs fresh like new.
So far of all my cars this nissan is the most reliable... More reliable than my newer toyotas....
Engine never been touched just regular oil change and maintenance....
I’ve got one of the early 2016 NP300 twin turbo - at 10 months and 19,000 miles big ends went - Nissan replaced the engine lock stock and barrel as apparently it was apparently the first in the UK to go and they wanted to “analyse the failure” but wouldn’t officially acknowledge what the fault was. Now at 40,000 miles and going to get rid before the issues begin.. shame because actually I love the truck!
ab0787 YEP Nissan admit to nothing when things go wrong... I'm loyal to the Nissan brand was totally disillusioned when my pathfinder chassis went(I loved that car had from new for 12yrs) but switched to electric love it hopefully technology moves on enough to let you guys experience it in a pick up.
Nice truck I agree but major let down in the engine side though, cost cutting on the engines for years now it has got to stop.
Which pickup with which engine would be the best long term workhorse in your opinion? The Isuzu has a puny wheezy 1.9, so that's out. Fords have terrible back-up and a reputation for oil pump drive failure. Toyota is underpowered and has the same auto transmission as the Isuzu, which even though only recently fitted to the pickups, is two generations behind the best seven or eight speed units available. Mitsubishi have the Super-Select transmission which is a great feature but are lightly built and have suspect towing ability at the heavier end of duty, plus the same automatic as the previous two [AW].
Maybe I should just change the engine oil pump on my thirsty Ford Ranger 2.2's engine, just in case? Ford will neither recall to change the pump nor pay for a new engine when this one seizes.
Have you serviced any 1gr fe engines? If so, are they pretty reliable?
Hi sorry no
I guess that's probably a good thing then. Keep up the good videos.
Can you recommend an engine swap.what engine will fit
I would have loved to have seen the V6 engine in the new NP300 how about you?
Am I alright then if I don’t tow?
Thanks for information that’s why I’m getting a Hilux.
