Also do a search on this site re Narava. One of our members extfilm has had quite a few problems with his.

If you're looking at getting a manual Navara just be aware that the clutch is very weak and burns out easily when towing. I believe that in Japan the vehicle is only rated to tow 1500kg where as here it's near 3 tonne. Where I work we have had to replace a lot of D40 Navara clutches.

Thanks for the responses chaps.
I've been reading navara net but was hoping to find and Australian forum.

Clutches seem to be a major problem for the D40 but we will probably go with an auto as Anne is not overly keen on manuals.

Our current van is 1300 tare and probably 1600 loaded. If we update the van further down the track the max would be about 2200/2300 total.
We would not be doing any hard core Off Road work.

Auto would do the job OK I think, but I would like your honest opinions.
And which engine ?
Not necessarilly new, 2-3 y/o would suit us.

Any more thoughts ppl ?

Lance , Look up Thread ID 57826 for info re Navaras.
BIG problems with autos (turbo diesels) fuel consumption.

Hey Lance,
Found a new Aussie Navara forum, www.navara.asia
Cheers

We have the 3 litre TD Navara and it has worked a treat, though we put on a larger exhaust and more importantly the CHIP from ARB which increased our torque heaps.
