Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.I have been driving my brand new nissan navara d40 plated 01/11 for 2 weeks now and all of a sudden the truck wouldnt start yesterday am.
No doors or lights had been left open or on ??? Nissan/ nrma service came out and jump started the truck and I then went off to my first job for the day.
Later that day same problem again,the motor wouldnt turn over. Luckily someone was close by and was able to help out and jump start the truck.I then drove it to Cessnock Nissan where they tested the battery and said that the battery had a faulty cell.I noticed that it was made in Thailand and not a fully sealed type just the normal open cap and refill.
Unfortunately they couldnt replace the battery as they said they had none in stock????? I told them that this truck has only done 700kms and had not even gone for the first service, they said I would have to take it back to Maitland where I brought it from to get a replacemet battery.So after they jump started it as it had lost all charge again ,I drove to Maitland and they replaced it with a fully sealed ACDELCO brand battery.Finally on the road at 1530pm to do the 2nd job for the day, having now wasted 1/2 day not a happy chappy.
Anyone got any info on what type of battery is in the new 2010 D40 ST diesel models as I suspect that mabe the original battery may have been swapped over at sometime and this dud one put in its place but not sure.
Cheers
