Politics and religion are now to blame for all D40's being money sucking pieces of shit?
Ask Dave about the D40 problems, it could be all Gillard's fault.
Gents,
My ute can not be the only one that is a disaster - and Diff Technics said they are doing a diff a month these days for their local nissan dealers, Gemini diesel when I went past had 3 in for timing chains.
A leading had we just hire is selling his stx 12 month old done diff and box.
So magically the companies who have repaired mine and the other guy at work with me only have problems.
Must be that magically the statistics are wrong and I only know the 5% that are stuffed - and mine magically just has all the problems that are well documented ! Wow I must just really be unlucky with my D40.... shucks and all the rest are great i guess hahaha
I am so over a car that keeps costing thousands (diff at Xmas and lucth at easter ?) maybe I was unluckier that my second clutch only lasted 22,000 k's, so guess I was lucky the first one did 65,000k's. Wow maybe I should be thankful nissan are so wonderful my diff made it to 85,000k's not like other that let go at 30k's. If thats what you guys think is good quality ! Wowwww there some suckers i guess..... Ia gree the lift, big wheels, etc all have compounded the problems - but they boast 3.5t towing capcity which dput more load on the drivetrain than any of these mods.
Or maybe I am a realist and realise times in life you make a mistake and should not have bought somehting cause it looked good - or sold my D22 when there was nothing wrong with it.....
The D22 definatly was a good truck, gotta get new clutch asap, then rip off my 4x4 gear and cross camps into a drab looking hilux..... But you gentleman will be thankfull I am not cut anymore and happily looking at moving on without my navara which still looks great when detailed, but for reliabilioty and safety I need when out in the bush, my navara will be done as soon as i take delivery of my Sr5.
I bet you guys cant wait till all the bitching and moaning stops hahaha And best of luck with you ongoing nissan love afair, honestly best of luck and hope you guys dont have same issues i did ! Cause not fair anyone should fork out the kind of money I have in repairs on a new car. Or being treated like crap by the Nissan dealers !
Honestly every make and model have there problems there is not one car on earth that does not have bad reviews.
Sounds like they took you for a ride. One of my injectors when bung on the D40. I was told that I had to replace all the injectors & the fuel rail and pipes . Just replaced the bung the injector and got it reprogrammed. It's running great for the last 10 months.
Amen to that!!I recently had an injector blow on my D22 after a fairly decent sized trip, had the same BS story from Nissan to replace this and that for big $$$$. Its all crap!, they'll try and upsell the shit out of you when it isn't necessary.
$580 for a new injector, $66 per injector to clean and test the other 3, $100 for reprogramming the injectors (how ridiculously long are injector codes!!) and I was off again - oh and I had a sticky SCV which was another $219, and Nissan tried to con me into shelling out another 3 grand for a new fuel pump.....they're unscrupulous twats!
If you're out of warranty then get yourself a good mechanic - buy him some beers and do your best to form a good relationship and be someone he looks after. Its all the help needed to avoid these traps.
