[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 55341, member: 206"] Just went and had a look at the bonnet catch on my D40 and its not attached to the bonnet skin its attached to the bonnet inner bracing... All of the common rail diesels have issues with reliability - its not a Nissan exclusive club (the engine's a Renault anyway) The Navara chassis is thicker than the Ford, Mitsubishi and Toyota equivalents. I have weld repaired engine crossmember on a Hilux, chassis on Ford Rangers and Nissan Patrol utes. Patrol chassis is 3mm, Ford Ranger is 1.6! The fuel pumps are a common part between Hilux, Navara and Triton Low range in my Navara is phenomenal, easily the best I have ever driven. Low RPM torque is an issue straight off idle (never an issue in low range) but when it's hitting 20psi boost by 1500rpm I'm never left waiting for power to happen. Navaras, Hiluxes, Tritons, DMax, Colorado Prado, Pathfinder, Terracan etc all eat clutches. You don't put 400nm in front of a gearbox and not build a 'fuse' in there. They don't build em like they used to - in many ways I wish I'd just done a complete refurb on my GU but then the Navara rides 10x nicer, goes a hell of a lot harder and has a ute tub that I can put a ton of whatever in and still get great economy all whilst carting the wife and kids around.
