Scott here, Hope you are all well and safe.

So my introduction... This is my first ever pick up to own, previously drove an old clapped out l200 for a few days and it put me off buying a pick up for years haha.
Start of last year I took the plunge into the vast array of Navaras for sale with a budget in mind, eventually with alot of digging I found a 60 plate with 85k on the clock. I love it has few issues that I m working through.

So issues that I will be working on
electric windows all slow
left chrome mirror not folding at all, it used to
snugtop lock replaced with garage handle (want to put it right)
tailgate barrel well worn (striped it out yesterday and cleaned metal shards from it)
brake pipes all round
under side re sealed
half shaft seals
rear shoes
bit of paint detailing (Probably not though lol)
diff and gearbox oils changed
prop shaft seal upgrade
belts (squeaky steering thats better when warm)


So far I have replaced
leafs with the extra leaf,
shocks front and rear
springs
top mounts from milner
front discs pads
roll bar bushes
drop links
bottom arms
tyres all round (Cooper discoverer AT3s)

I really want to put some stuff on it like front bars, new horn, led light bar, tow bar, bonnet deflector thing, snorkel maybe

Didnt realise I had so much to do on it till I wrote it all out haha

feel free to say hi

Hello, Scott, welcome.

You'll soon get through that list if the lock down continues any further.

Nice tyre upgrade.

Boy that must have had a really hard life! Never needed anything apart from brakes and tyres on anything here and theyve done 125k on farms. Has it had the Chassis recall done as it will be running out of time?

The price was too good to pass up , apparently first owner drove it to Spain from Scotland and back then kept for couple years and second owner had a company selling tow bars and used it for taking cardboard to the skip. 🤔😂

Chasis has been into nissan and been sprayed but its needing redone in honesty, do you reckon i could chance it for a re coat 😜

My dad is a mechanic which is very handy and I'm trying to learn on the job with him can do basics and once I know the logic behind it I can usually give it a bash. Things like timing belt though that's his job haha

Thanks for the warm welcome guys
