freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 8m 27d Gender: Male Posted 14/11/13 05:13 AM Share Posted 14/11/13 05:13 AM (edited) Dunno if I've mentioned it but I'm thinking of getting a 07+ navara d40 st-x. The few good ones with low kms have sold within a couple of days which I'm spewing about, hard to find one with no more then 150k km for 20k or under.I found one with 100k km with a few mods and want to know people's opinions on if they would buy a 4wd that's been bush bashing already?Car has to be auto and diesel.2007 Nissan Navara D40 ST-X4cyl 2.5LAutomaticUte100,000 kmPrivate Seller CarFor more information on this vehicle please visit:http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Navara-2006//SSE-AD-2455373 Edited 14/11/13 05:24 AM by Dagabond fixored malformed url Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86772-nissan-navara-d40/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 10m 23d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 14/11/13 05:23 AM Share Posted 14/11/13 05:23 AM Get a proper check done.. RACV or equivalent.. We've got a couple newer D-40's at work.. One has 250k under its belt and still going strong.. Both are manuals though.. In my eyes if you wanted dollars for low k's and off road, look at D-22.. No auto though..

The manuals also have clutch problems I've read. I've missed out on a 08 with 119k km for 18k which was sold in 3 days and one listed the other day was a 10 with 47k km for 23k. They pop up every couple of weeks but don't last longDunno Ralph, havnt been since Tuesday lol Edited 14/11/13 05:30 AM by freeze_dk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86772-nissan-navara-d40/#findComment-1440184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-40's have a couple known problems with the front diff.. But usually takes some fairly decent off road use for that to be a problem..If I had to choose a next car that couldn't get me in much trouble with the police.. A D-22 or D-40 would be on the cards.. You'll miss the falcon on long drives though.. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86772-nissan-navara-d40/#findComment-1440186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three have been nothing but dramas - all have had engine rebuilds, one of them twice, issues with brakes, engines regularly going into limp mode and having to be reset. Not trying to put you off, just letting you know my experiences with them.

FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 20y 5m 17d Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 14/11/13 08:38 AM Share Posted 14/11/13 08:38 AM D-22 suffer front diff failures if thrashed(personal experience) and use the same YD 25 engine but with different turbo.We have 3 D-40 navaras at work.2 are manuals and 1 auto.Mine has had 80k trouble free but the auto is a dog of a thing.Dont recommend the auto,as they use heaps more fuel then the manuals and the tranny and converter are not mated to the torque of the engine but as said the manuals suffer clutch issues if used hard and are known for dropping timing chains and lunching the motor.I would recommend it for a cheap 4x4 ute but the little 4cyl struggles off/low boost.We just bought a V6 diesel Navara.Much better engine then the 2.5litre 4 cyl.I still wish I bought the Ranger..
