the inevitable has happened and the navara has had an engine failure 
anyone know of any good nissan breakers yards to try and get a 2nd hand engine
other option is a rebuild with the parts costing £1400

Only a matter of time with Navaras. There bad for going on fire aswell, usually the best option.

Why are they so prone to failing? My uncle has had one for about 7 years and its been pretty bombproof, goes on building sites and up motorways?

lol it's sound. The cunt I used to work with has one of these in white, they're cracking looking things and I got a lift in it once up to his farm - he's had it remapped and the thing goes like shite off a shovel.

When i was working at Parks we were doing a lot of navara's that were out of warranty under warranty as its been such a common fault.
Contact nissan uk and give them the downlow.
If they dont pay it all they should give a goodwill contirbution.

another one bites the dust we have just bought one of these, an 06 plate, wish we had read all the reviews first because i dont think we would have bothered with it after reading about the engines failing

metal shavings and a terrible knocking all adds to broken engine
may be getting it fixed then sold on still unsure what we are going to do

You can get all uprated parts for them, if you have caught it early you will be ok. There is a chap on the us forum who has done a really good how to and has all the parts ready to ship to the uk.
