My deepest sympathy to Mr David MacArthur ,of Arnol ,Isle of Lewis ,who had a lovely ,,Black,55 plate navara,and in MINT CONDITION.During a journey ,from Ness to Arnol Google it ,his engine blew up,and in consequence ,sold ,what was left ,ie body .I wish I had bought it and put in my TD engine .When I was talking to David just a couple of days ago ,he said to me that he really liked it !and was so Pissed Off .No more nissan for him. I,m going back to Landy,s.Just look at the prices of navaras on Ebay,and the common cause is "engine blown up".I,ve still got mine November 51, Cyprus import , first one on Lewis ,and will Run it into the ground.It failed its MOT last week on,wiper blade ,2 brake pipes ,Horn ,insufficient water from Scooshy thing for windscreen,and the high density fog lamp .That,s ok for a 12 year old car .,,Absolutely contrary to what that idiot inspector who came all the way from ,was it Sunderland ? claimed in his report,that my D22 was not being looked after and maintained .Well! Tony ,the tyres that you mentioned in your report ,are still on it !5.5 years later.Just look through the postings and see all the excuses,Nissan have used to avoid their responsibility,saying that or it came from Cyprus!!!!David MacArthur is going to let me see the letter he received from Nissan concerning the extended warranty.The mileage accrued on this pickup was less than the extension to 92,000 miles.Why should a well maintained ,in a garage ,sheltered,and worked with respect,be subject to Time ,when the fault is in manufacture.

Hi I'm new to the forum so please be gentle. We've taken delivery of a new NV400 van in the last week and have discovered that it hasn't got the automatic windscreen wipers and lights as advertised. To cut a long story short Nissan UK have basically said that the marketing info was incorrect and won't honour what we saw advertised and therefore expected. Advice please.

Here,s one from Lovemoney---- Follow this topicFollow this topic Knowledge » Cars The new cars least likely to pass their first MOT ReenaSewraz by Lovemoney Staff ReenaSewraz on 08 October 2013 | Comments 8 comments
New research has uncovered MOT pass and fail rates on new cars from 2010 that have come up for their first health check this year. The new cars least likely to pass their first MOT
When you buy a new car you might expect it to pass its first MOT test without a hitch.
But new research has found that one in five cars registered in 2010 failed their first health check this year.
Car owners are required to get an MOT test to check that their vehicle meets certain road safety and environmental standards every year. But new cars don’t have to be presented for a test until after their first three years on the road.
Around 70 million records from the Vehicle Operator and Services Agency (VOSA) of cars registered as new in 2010 and tested this year were analysed by new MOT price comparison website TootCompare.
It found between that January and August 2013, 253,000 new cars failed the Ministry of Transport test.
Let's take a look at the winners and losers. MOT winners
Here are the 2010 models which managed to achieve the highest MOT pass rates when tested for the first time this year.

Land Rover Freelander
88.80%
33,807
9,833
Suzuki Splash
88.07%
16,775
1,048
The top of the table is dominated by Japanese models, while European marques come lower down.
The compact Toyota IQ was found to be the best 2010 model to ace its first MOT, with a pass rate of nearly 92%.
But the Honda Jazz was also able to achieve over 90% and is perhaps more notable as the model underwent a much higher volume of tests than the Toyota IQ between January and August this year.
A surprising number of compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Lexus RX and Audi Q5 also performed well.
Overall the manufacturers that produced cars that tended to have a better MOT sucess rate were Lexus (89.5% pass rate), Subaru (88.7%), Honda (87.2%), Toyota (85.7%), Audi (84.8%), Saab (84.5%), Land Rover (84.3%), Mercedes (84.2%), Suzuki (84.1%) and Hyundai (83.8%).
Japanese- and German-made cars dominate the list, but Land Rover is the exception to this rule.
