yeah, I never heard of that problem here, I think we got the same truck as you in Australia, my truck has the black bumper and fenders just because its a more basic version (I had to install power windows & locks) and we also got the 3 lt diesel ZD30 until 2005 I think , now the trucks only comes with the YD
Australia never got the non-common rail YD powered navara. NZ only got that motor in the 2wd version. easy to tell from the bonnet scoop.
I dont think we got that problem here! you see... the D22 is the best selling pick up over her for many years, and they have a very good reputation, I would know if there weres a problem with this model, my Uncle had his nissan over 200k kilometers, and never had a problem, thanks!
if thats the case the UK guys would love to know what the nissan part number is for the big end bearings.
