New Navara release

Renault bought out the controlling share in Nissan a good few years back when Nissan was in financial difficulty, and are responsible for the vehicles we have today

like the holey 3.0 GU LMAO

Each to his own TRUCKSTER.

I think my Nav is the ducks nuts, but thats just MY opinion, but I figure it tows my boat, tows my van,(mrs has pajero too, for full on van n boat trips) launches my boat, goes anywhere, and runs better fuel economy than a two sedans I've had, thats pretty good in my book, and I enjoy it greatly......I'll just say that again ...I enjoy it greatly... which is all that matters to me.

Yes there are the patrol issues you refer to, but in the whole Nissan has come to the party on most of these. Each manufacturer has their own issues, look at Toyota gearboxes and diffs, what a joke they are, and not always covered.....I know a guy who is Toyota thru n thru, but he'll still tell you the boxes are weakest link..(awaiting hatemail..LOL)

As I say, each to his own......so what do you drive then thats so great?

Col, you may ne right about the 2.5 having nothing in common with the 3.0Di but numerous Nissan/Renault sources say the 3.0Di is supplied to Renault in Europe for use in commercials by Nissan Japan. In fact it is one of the few things that Nissan supplies under their technology sharing agreement, which is mostly the other way. It may be the 2.5 comes out of Europe? Someone should check that out.

>>> I think all the scare tactics about smaller engines to be mostly cr*p.

ask 3.0 GU owners

>>> The older large capacity engines rely on old unrefined technolgy and crude finishing. l
but the 4.2 keeps on going.... 600,000klms later owners are still smiling
