Hi Extfilm

We have been hearing you complain about your Navara since last
February, 10 months ago, you said at the time you ordered a
75 series, my son ordered his in May and picked it up in August,
must be a bit slow down at the Toyota dealership where you come from.

Cheers
Daza

Get two tow trucks and take one 1/2 to one dealer and the other 1/2 to another and you might get two truck for the price of one.

No Daza, I really wished I had, never did though. Got all the quotes but accountant advised me to wait till the new financal year. Only recently got back from a 10 week trip and just want to clean this one up before I commit on the 75.
Plus I thought I might give it the benifit of trying it out through the centre of oz.
I'll admit it did make to Steep point and back to Sydney with only the bullbar snapping and being replaced in Kalgoolie. Mechanically it is fine.

Hey Borgy,
It is actually booked in for Monday for the first Bullbar replacement. I only got back from my trip 3weeks ago and it has taken Nissan 3 weeks to approve and get the parts in.
Only realised the Tray mount cracks 2 weeks ago and the dealership said we will look at it when we replace the bullbar.
The tray mounts did not deem the ute undrivable.
Only heard the noise today so looked underneath and found the brake distribution mount broken today. I think it was ok last week when I looked under it. But don't think I closely looked to see if it was cracked.
I am all for preventative maintenance but can only be preventitive if Nissan comes to the party too.
I was once a mechanic so I can usually tell when something is unsafe or not.

Extfilm , no worries mate , like i said i wasnt being a smartarse , just i had read your posts on the cracks with interest and wasnt aware that you had actually approached Nissan about it , i cant say i blame you for being p i s s e d off mate , i know i would be , anyway best of luck and i hope your new Toyota when you get one serves you a bit better than the Navara did......Cheers.......Dave
