Tick Tick Boom (navara D22)

[scotspine1]

I have the D22 fear.

 

And so you should, it'll happen one day, it'll start with a quiet tapping then..........I can't say anymore beyond this point other than its horrible what happens next....truly horrible, be prepared.

 

Still, mine went at 96K miles so you could be good for another 16,000 miles

I've chance of a 53 reg D22 that's just had a rebuilt engine, the rest of it seems in good fettle too and I'm still umming and ahhing - once the mods have been done to the engine, is there anything else to look out for on them?

 

Also, what MPG is pretty normal when partly loaded and no trailer?

 

Am torn between a doublecab (and maybe get rid of the 90) or a little van but keep the 90 (and rechassis it probably)

Mine went before christmas- 94k tickticktick boom bollocks

 

£3k loss, its just been sold with 2 yr warranty on new engine.

 

Got new hilux now, should have got one in the first place..

 

Some one toldbme there was a 'i hate my navara' site but apparantly nissan or someone shut it down... i would join...

 

Chris whats up with keeping the 90?

Chances are it'll stay and I'll re-chassis it eventually - what scuppered things today was once I dropped the gearbox crossmember off to find it just about rotted out behind it

 

Either that or Break it for bits, though other than the clutch and the chassis, the rest is mint so it'd be a shame to break it.

 

Don't fancy puttign it all back together knowing how bad it is but it's not worth puttign the effort into patchign that when there's other patches to do too so guess I'm off shopping tomorrow for something, whether it be Van, Car or pickup

Chris, the D22 is okay once the bottom end bolts are changed, Mines in this weekend for an upgrade on the parts. As for mpg, mine does an average of 28mpg towing daily and full of kit and also with mud terrains on which incidentally only take 1 mpg off the average. I love iphone apps!!!

Great trucks to own just nissan royally cocked up the engines initially.
