One of my favourite parts of this channel is that nothing seems to faze you in terms of buying certain cars which might have known faults, I.e Navaras snapping chassis, Jaguars snapping crank shafts, BMW’s and their timing chains. I could never buy any of the above cars for this reasons but I admire that you can and it doesn’t bother you at all - ultimately it’s a better outlook!

@@Storm.Z.4u Disagree - I own a newer 3.0L variant of this truck - on performance touring tyres it'll break 8 seconds 0-60 and is surprisingly chuckable with progressive steering and overall good feedback (despite some vagueness at times) the steering overall is light but weighting up nicely in the corners - it puts most medium to large size crossovers I've driven to shame. The model I have also has transmission/electronics based off the 370Z so is reasonably responsive with again nice progressive power delivery and fast smooth gear changes. The only thing in that respect which is lacking is the ride quality which partly thanks to the rear leaf springs is more akin to a 90s era 4x4. Even the 2.5L variant isn't terrible though the engine is far more industrial like rattly diesel compared to the 3.0 and a bit more jerky in comparison - though pretty strong if you need a workhorse for towing, etc. That said given it is over 2tons of truck needs a lot of responsibility to drive in any kind of spirited fashion and I certainly don't rag it around the road.

Hi Matt, great channel. What a bargain. Here in Australia, that’s a $15k Ute all day long. I used to have a D40, best car I ever had. As long as the timing chain is done, they go for ever. Plenty here with 400k and years left in them. Loads on the road here so parts a dirt cheap, just the actual Ute that’s expensive. You could get the proper wheels and the whole rear tub for a few hundred dollars. Never saw anybody do a rear quarter on a Ute tub, cheaper to swap the whole thing here. Hope it give you years of service.

In 2018, i sold it for £4,250 as, a spares or repairs The body & interior were in awesome condition (and it had a cherished plate too, which i let go as well (R10 PRO) Overall with the whole Navara ownership experience, was disappointing - despite it always being serviced on time, driven considerately, spent extra £'s on, and really a 'pampered' family car . . . . and in 'Mint' condition with lots of extras inc a £2.5K+ 'Armadillo' bed roll-top Nissan treated me like shit - every day after i paid hem for the Pickup, many, many times and always screwed up & let me down - and for that reason i would NEVER buy another Nissan - or advise anyone else to.

In NZ, a 4WD with dents & rust is called a 4WD. 4WDs have mud tyres or at least ATs fitted, they actually go off-road. They may have dog boxes on the back along with a deer or feral pig carcass. Navaras can be real trucks. A 4WD here without dents, dings + imperfections is called a "poser mobile" or a "city poofter truck". They're owned by people in cities, they may tow a family boat but they only go as far off-road as the nature strip outside the owners house. They have 18" alloy wheels, rarely get mud on them and are mainly used for school + tip runs, doing the grocery shop or "pretend rugged guy" duty in the office car park. The Navara can be both. The Mitsui Triton + Toyota Hilux can also be both. A flat deck, mud + dog boxes says "actual 4Wd".. alloy wheels + road tyres say "Nice truck, Deirdre"

The plate is a gem. Pickwick? I'd contact businesses with Pickwick in their name and I'd ask more than 500. The scuff will buff out with a bit of t-cut and elbow grease? A 4 seat cab with auto. That is a lot of ute for the money even with the scrape. I would take the plate off, tidy it up a little, do a cheap fix to the body, and flog it on for a small profit plus the pure profit from the plate. A definite probable profit. Or a very handy scruffy practical 4WD for the tip and winter? You can't lose.

Ones like this would deffo be worthy of a follow-up. I know that's wandering off of what you normally do (time to record, edit etc), but the odd interesting one that needs some work might be good to see a follow up video on - not everything, as that's another full time job !

I'd be tempted to look for a used back end, only bolt on, may save a load of hassle plus you may find one the same colour, the sale of the private plate would easily offset the cost, plus it would do away with the rot on the other side

I former colleague of mine, lives near you. Used to love hot weather. Until he was blown up by an IED, which damaged the hypothalamus in his brain. That's the bit that regulates temperature. So, when he gets all 'wussy' and worries about 35+ degrees, it's only because his brain will literally boil... But you're probably right, he should just put a pair of shorts on hey!

The abs light been on means the abs won't be working, so if you brake hard the wheel will lock and skid. Alot of my cars had the abs light on, never effects the way it drives or feels. Just remember old fashion precision braking, or whatever it was called.

I had a D40 & really regret selling it. Common issues on them were.....rear chassis, stretched timing chains & they do like to drop injectors. On the plus side chassis repair kits are cheap, as are replacement duplex timing chain kits & the rear tub is really easy to remove. Second hand rear tubs are cheap too 😉 Mine was a 6 speed manual & also no DPF 😁 They also respond brilliantly to a remap which really wakes the truck up & can help you achieve 30mpg on a run with little effort. I recon you gir a good buy there buddy

Navara snapped chassis syndrome! Mine was a 2006, served us well. Great vehicle until a fateful MOT in about 2016 where significant corrosion was picked up and rot in the rear section of the chassis frame. Close to snapping. Nissan only informed us after our 10 warranty had expired and which was kind of them. Bought a reinforcing kit that a similar navara owner had designed. Faced with losing the truck completely i.e. a write off, a mate and I took the tub off and he painstakingly, removed bad and re-welded attaching this kit. Then passed an MOT. Sent it through a well known car purchasing brand eventually. Few other spurious issues too, off the road now I believe.

I have something to look for that's probably not mentioned on car vertical. The boost control valve can fail causing the boost to be on all the time. This wears the thrust bearing in the turbo.

@High Peak Autos I’ve been watching your video uploads for many months now and I must say how impressed I am with your presentation mate. I particularly enjoyed this video. I’ve love this spec of Navara, but agree with others there should have been a part two! So did you keep the truck or was it destined for just tip runs? Keep up the good work mate - I know where to come if I need a bargain car!

Hopefully the chassis isn't rotten and splits in half, can't believe the Mercedes X-Class was once a thing based on one of these, especially when the G-Wagon still around.

Chassis issue is on the d40. X class was based on the newer version which did not have the rust problem.

Bought a '57 Navara (92k) last year as a farm runaround - has been very good so far. Gets used several times a days - even does the odd long motorway journey. Interestingly I've had the same issue with the driver's door only opening from the outside. Found that the same locks have been used front and back and the child lock had slipped on. The lock can be accessed (without removing the door card) by removing the 3 bolts along the door edge and pivoting the lock until you can flick the child lock off with a screwdriver. A more permanent fix might be to put a self-tapper in there to stop it slipping again.

Good luck taking it to the tip at Bredbury, Stalybridge etc. I've got a L200 which I use for non-business use. I need a permit to show when going to the tip (apply online) and I can only go eighteen times a year at their discretion depending what waste you're tipping. If the pick up is registered in your business capacity they probably will turn you away mate.

I think you’ve done alright there with regards to the ABS it could be a cracked censor ring as I had this problem and had to weld it up so I suggest you check all A B S rings for a possible crack at the moment I’m looking for Toyota Hilux as I was a bit wary of the Nissan Navara because of the rot in the chassis and also they stop making them so I think is Toyota has got the edge
