Nissan Navara 2009 Problems

RETURN it to the dealer and park it there until it's fixed. It appears your car is unroadworthy. Demand the dealer fix it, and have them give you a replacement vehicle in the meantime.

THE 2.5-litre Navara diesel should handle your towing needs comfortably. The Navara is a great dual-cab ute for the family. It's comfortable, roomy, has a good towing capability and is economical.

Clutches are not normally covered by warranty, but that assumes they wear out normally over a fairly long period of time and use. Yours, however, hasn’t done that, which suggests there is something wrong, something that is not normal. I would think you have a justifiable claim against Nissan to cover the replacement, but first you need to establish the cause of the problem. To do that the dealer has to remove the clutch to inspect it, which should determine that has gone wrong. There two possible scenarios at such a low mileage are a manufacturing fault, in which case Nissan should replace the clutch, or abuse, in which case you would have to cover the cost. If you’re not satisfied you could consult the consumer affairs people.

Sounds very dodgy. The oil shouldn't be black so soon after being changed. The excuse that it's the configuration of the engine sounds lame. I recently did a 2200 km run in my 80-year-old Dodge after changing the oil and it still wasn't dirty.

YES you can have extra child-seat restraints fitted to the HiLux and Triton dual-cabs, but it must be approved by an accredited engineer to satisfy the authorities. Contact your state registration authority and they will give you a list of accredited engineers who could do the work for you. In all honesty, however, buying the Navara is a better way to go.
