2006 D22 series 2, 3.0TD

Thanks. Interesting safety report.

Regarding the hill - are they gutless, or just not capable in extreme conditions?

Primarily they are not that capable Dez , but you have to consider that against the fact that they do go to most places.

Axle articulation is a significant issue on most of these type cars.

One of the 3 is fitted with a Ditronic which does help a bit , and fuel economy is also good.

Off idle in almost all Turbo - diesels is poor and these cars have a special control to assist here.

Sydney...certainly been raining a lot here recently, but don't think it has been in a flood! One thing I did notice though was a little bit of surface rust on the underbody. Should there be any rust in a vehicle of this age? Also, there was a bit of an oil stain around the rear diff housing. Once again...normal or abnormal? (sorry for the questions, you probably realise it would be my first 4WD purchase!).

Thanks

Thanks Peter. A recurring theme through the forum and 4wd mags that I have read seems to be "you only buy one Nissan".
