Gutless navara

[john p]

Got shut of the Navara John, got the Isuzu, loads of power

 

 

Yeah, you know that slowly dawning feeling as you realise what you've bought is actually a bit of a lemon? I'm getting that now!

My Nav's now done 108,000only problem was a heater matrix which went around 10,000.

Love it, far better than the two new Defenders I had before!

90 county cost £15.000 alone in repair/servicing over the 150,000 miles I had it for.

If it's running flat it may be caused by a blocked egr valve , waste gate partially stuck open, deteriorating intercooler , lean running due to deteriorating injection pump or injector rail . I have a 54 plate that still pulls like a goodun ....... Mind you I'm fairly sure that's partially down to the new engine and 64k

What you want is a Range Rover P38 4.6 V8 THOR engine - pull anything! stick it in Sports mode and it's like Rocket Booster - never know what gutless means - I do have one

Mines on 80,000 miles so probably not a deteriorating issue( hopefully) I'm investigating the egr today, fun.

Yes i do. Got mine at 50k 55k needed the front propshaft UJs doing.

70k it needed doing again and gear box seals

80k 4wd sensors packed up and gear box seals again

90k 4wd sensors gone again

100k wheel bearing

110k new turbo.

 

Not to mention the constant brakes that it seems to eat through. No other vehicle i've had has gone through front brakes like this. Had my old Navara 5 years and i think the brakes were done once!

 

Its been looked after too. 95% of its life is on the motorway and A roads the rest on estate tracks. So its never really off roaded or loaded up with more than a few chainsaws. Serviced once a year too.

 

Whats worse is the thing is a very comfortable drive and it's all laid out very well inside. Doesn't do too bad on fuel either. More grumbles from an angry navara owner.

 

I hope you get yours fixed with no issues.
