Having a quick look here:

http://www.motorsm.com/complaints/latest.asp

The common problem seems that dealers don't understand their product.

Poor buggers with Navara's, Patrols etc who aren't too mechanically minded have to dig deep to pay Nissan's "Guess what's wrong game'.

Anything concerning electronics (and the modern car has lots of them) and dealers just start replacing bits.

I do my own servicing, always have, but when I get to the age where I have to pay someone to maintain my vehicle, it won't be to a dealership.

Hadn't heard too much about the Navara's (apart from their electronic 4WD problems) until I tripped over that complaints site.

But have seen a heap of ZD30 Patrols (the grenade) with very unhappy owners.

Nissan has left them high and dry.

Amazing, they get bubbles in the dash, same as the old R32's only a hell of a lot worse.

If you're persistant enough and still have some warranty, Nissan will cough up with a new dash.

It seemed to be only early ZD30 patrols with the grenade engines. The current ones haven't been having that problem. The patrol dash bubble problem is being fixed under warranty on a customer complaint basis only i believe.

Nope the CRD's also grenade, just taking a bit longer to show up.

Looks like the end is nigh for this horrible engine. (rumours of a petrol V8 ???)

Actually the Patrol must surely be ready for the chop, it's so out of touch with that ancient front end. (google Patrol death wobbles)

Navara has become very popular.

You're right about the dash bubbles, it's not a recall, the owners have to chase Nissan via their dealer to get any satisfaction.

    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it. 
    • It always seems the uglier an animal is the more is costs
    • It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.
    • I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
    • That is horrid. Reminds me of the time that R32 send the clutch through the bonnet, then the guy tried to sell his car using those pictures.
