Navara Differential Problems

I think they check the cig lighter and things like that!! There is no check procedure other than ticking the boxes.. Otherwise how would the guys find time to have a half hourly smoke break and go out and pick up the lunches in between their multiple breaks!!! :) Michael

I cannot answer the question, but if you are in doubt about "engine braking" on steep stuff, then have you considered attaching a stump and limb of a tree, to the rear of your vehicle, to act as an anchor..

I have done that before, and it works a treat..

When we owned the Navara I did come down from Mt Hotham to Bright, on the engine, without dabbing the brake..

I found that at 3,000 revs the situation evened out, and the "braking" worked.

Just remember that the smaller the engine the less chance of engin braking..
Last thursday I dropped down fro m the top of Mt Tamberetha, ( vic hi country) to Licola, on the "engine brake"... 3rd got away a bit bit 2nd held things great..

Sometimes I wish I had a splitter !

Cheers and hope you get the front diff problem fixed.

When I worked for Toyota we use to call the predelivery check the ""$1000 car wash"" because that is all it was, was cases of vehicles being driven off without fluids !! Bloody joke if you ask me. I think these days predelivery costs are around $1500 I would be ringing the dealer really quick..........Regards Steve

I guess the delivery checks havn't inproved much.
Way back when The Beverley Hillbillies was a new TV show, a friend bought himself a new Cortina.
The front left had a drum brake and the right was a new disc brake.
It made for interesting hard stopping.
As Forrest Gump said.... dealers do as dealers want.

At the risk of trying to point out the obvious you had the Navara in Park or Neutral when trying to select Low range? I have been caught with that one.
