Has any one else had a problem starting their Navara? We have had the problem for over a year. It used to be worse in cold weather but now it's all the time. Luckily we live on a hill so bump start every morning. Once it catches, no problems until the next day (apart from sounding rough when cold)...

Got to know the AA man really well until renewal was refused as we called them out so many times - he checked all fuses, battery, outputs on everything electrical etc. to look for leaks, but no joy. We bought a new battery just in case but that didn't work.

Nissan had it in for 4 days trying to find the fault & eventually diagnosed a throttle sensor problem, but sceptical as they seemed to be clutching at straws & no other symptoms (surging/stalling) . Any suggestions much appreciated before spending cash on new throttle sensor!

starting probs

Sometimes it turns over but not enough to catch, sounding like a flat battery. Other times it makes no sound - appears completely 'dead' but still starts on the bump (or jump) start...

It's a standard 2.5TDI 2003 with no mods (but was an import). Had it from new & it wasn't a problem before :?
