My husbands timing chain broke on his Navara 2010 July built at 130000 kms it had been serviced regularly. Nissan wouldn't take any responsibility for the chain as it was a single and double and stretched and broke creating a new engine. Nissan paid $119 for anew timing chain and we paid $12000 to fix there faulty chain. I still have the faulty chain Nissan doesn't want to know about problems from non city people as i spoke to the CEO assistant listened but did nothing. I have no faith in Nissan.

Driving Experience? Its a great Ute, no doubt. but we are having a common issue that not many diesel mechanics can diagnose. So, Nissan dealer was gonna be the most costly opinion and last opinion basically. Just to find out that many D40 Owners have experienced this issue with the car. The problem either been the Fuel Filter, Oil Filter or even the Fuel Injectors. So far we have changed the Fuel Filter, Oil Filter. Still not coming back to life basically. Now we are getting new Fuel Injectors put in to make sure we rule that out, since no one ...Read more

I bought my series 7 Navara brand new in May 2014 from Rockdale Nissan. So far I've done 26,000 k's.

How good is the driving experience? (Performance, handling, noise, etc.) I've done 4 trips from Sydney to Byron Bay so far, and the Navara is very comfortable and easy to drive, especially with the cruise control on. At highway speed the cabin is nice and quiet though this may change with different makes of tyres. I'm still using the factory fitted Wranglers. Fuel economy around Sydney is great at 10.2L/100 k's and on the highway it sits arou...Read more

Absolutely love this car! Chose the petrol over the diesel for the simple fact that when things go wrong with a Nissan diesel, that they go wrong in a big way. i think people get 'sucked' into the diesel hype. Yes fuel costs less, however the maintenance and repairs are monumental compared to a petrol. How many D40 owners spit chips when their timing chains and injectors go wayward? Doesn't happen on a petrol.
Bought the D40 with 170,000km and it now has 205,000km. Have had a few mechanical issues such as an idler pulley, wheel bearings but no...Read more

I am in Perth Western Australia and I am a mechanic. I currently have a 2014 Nissan D40 2WD Dual cab. This is the third Nissan dual cab that I have owned, previously owning a 2008 D22 4WD 3.0 litre then trading up to a 2011 D22 4WD 2.5 litre and now the D40 2WD.

Whilst I make a point of not punishing the hell out of my vehicles I have used them for what they where intended, that is towing large loads and a fair amount of 4WD use. There have been a few issues along the way and such as with the D22 excessive smoke, body work rust (radiator su...Read more

After the clutch went for the second time at 23000 Kms, I did not want this 2 tonnes of scrap metal . Actually the S should be left off. Nissan refused to honor the warranty for the second clutch. Called it an operator issue. My previous Mitsubishi Triton had done 280,000 kms on the original clutch, Operator issue my ar__.
In otherwords if you dont drive it, you wont have any problems. I got the second burnt out clutch tested I was advised that even if the truck had been absolutely hard on, the clutch should have lasted 40,000 kms. So the issu...Read more

I have 2013 ST 4x2 Spanish built dual-cab. Bought with 900ks on the clock. Have nearly 16k on the clock (not much I know, but...). 6-speed manual, no probs yet. I have had absolutely no probs with this vehicle, good solid vehicle.

I have lugged around tray loads of stuff (750kgs) on many occasions and have had no probs. Just have pump up tyres to 40psi whilst doing so. Cannot speak for towing (2000kgs) as I have not towed with the vehicle.
The vehicle is always outside, no probs regarding paint, or rust or leaks.
Have tub liner and 5...Read more

I brought a brand new Navara D40 ST only 62km on the clock when I drove out of dealers shop. My package included Window Tint, X-Pack protection (NANO Paint protection, Interior protection) Electronic Rust protection, genuine tow bar (3Tonne) and a Heavy duty alloy tray to replace the tub.
I waited a month for the tray to be fitted after taking ownership in which time I had noticed that the so called electronic rust protection was not fitted. When I asked why – “Oh they ran out of stock at the time”-“So when where you going to fit it then” – “O...Read more
