Hi all, I called into my local Nissan dealers to have a look at the Np 300. I didn't manage to get a test drive but had a look around. I was interested in looking at the new suspension set up in the rear as I do a lot of towing. What concerned me was the complexity of the set up. There are an awful lot of wear parts down there links, joints ,bushes etc, pretty exposed too. I've had to change the all the front balljoints (twice) , roll bar links and hub bearings in the front of the D40 after the warranty ran out....my concern is, how well is this lot going to wear?

i think you could be right nick but to have in the windows on the np300 it says available for immediate delivery and he ordered it back in november makes me think either it was sold to someone else or they just dont give a s*** once there got your deposit, it took them 2 weeks to give me a price for a trade in years ago so you can see how slow they are and i would never take my new one to them to have any jobs done on it either, jake should be thinking why did they lose the landrover dealer ship and most of us know the reason as id heard it from a few people and from to blokes who worked there as well so must be some truth in the matter when you hear the same story over and over,

I didn't want to order one until I'd actually seen one hence the January date, they took two orders on spec before that and to be fair both are in (I've seen them) and will be ready for Tuesday (March 1st) so yeah, if I'd ordered that long ago I'd be seriously ****** off !!!

well i ordered mine and i hadnt seen the colour only via internet pictures but what the hell i said i cant see much of it when im behind the wheel, ive had silver, blue, black, white, so time for another change hence i ordered it with out even seeing the colour, wasnt till the other day i called in and they told me they had one on ethe work shop if i wanted to look at it so i did and posted the picture up for every one to see, il be adding pictures of mine saturday as long as the weathers nice to get some good pictures then i can order my set of at tyres for it witch i think will make it look more like what it should do, if only that gave us a choice on what tyres we wanted even if it cost a bit more save having to take the new ones off and sell and refit the ats

Yeah, I still haven't seen a blue one but wanted to see the truck first, the dealers two demos are both black. I've had Silver and Grey so wanted something different. The two that are sold I've seen are also silver and grey (although the new Grey is much lighter than the Slate I had). I've also seen a white one on the road, looked real nice actually but no good for me on the farm. Fly poo will turn it dalmation before long :slaphead
Fingers crossed mine will be on time, should get the number plate this week so can get paper work sorted. :nailbiting:nailbiting

I guess it depends how long you think you'll keep it. If you're going to keep it for ever then any and all extra protection will be worth it, if it's up the road in 3 years then I wouldn't bother.

the best thing i think you can do to them from day one as long as its dry, go to the oil shed and get new oil not used engine oil and spray the complete bottom of it inside and fill every where you can, the dealers hate that but ive asked if it would effect warranty and there finding out for me, ive always done it away no matter what they say and this one will get the same but it will never rot out wile ive got it any way, i know what you mean mud and muck spraying every where do not do them alot of good nor do the stuff they put on the roads in the winter either so you cant win what every you do to them, there not built to last like they used to thats a fact

I checked the inside of the chassis on Friday when I paid my deposit, appears to have wax injection from the factory. I'll Waxoyl anyway. The rep gave me mats, tow-bar and roof crossrails in the deal, going to get the tub Rhino lined again same as the D40, great job.

Seriously dude, everything in life doesn't have to be so dramatic.
If you'd dressed in your scruffs, kept your beard and just rung up to book a test drive, I'm sure they wouldn't have said no. It's a pick-up, generally used for work, not a luxury motor....
LOL had a farmer friend test drove an R8 in jeans and wellies ,because thats what he drives it in some of the time.
Suddenly crossed my mind thats not a test the NP300 has passed yet, I will be stuffed if it doesnt.

Another mate sell BMWs he always says you never judge your customers by what their wearing the scruffiest invariably have the most to spend as they dont need to impress anybody. Its the reason I have never had an Amorok they are so up themselves even though I had sold the land their new dealership was built on LOL

@newnavara, advice taken, might explain why I couldn't reply before??
Anyway, I'll definitely waxoyl mine now. Just need to find somewhere close to Colchester Essex with a good reputation now, any advice.
