You may be able to thrash them in your part of the world, over here since the government let police forces and councils keep some of the fines we now have speed cameras, mobile and fixed, every few miles, including ones that average out your speed and post you surprise penalty points and a fine.
I think you are moving away from the fundemental issue here, which is in the UK there are just too many YD25DDTi's throwing rods, if you had these engines in your countries, and read the first hand accounts of their demise from responsible owners and drivers, perhaps you would see the problem more sympathetically, and relate it to poor manufacturing and even worse materials, rather than just blaming poor driving styles.
I can fully understand your allegiance and passion for your Nissan's, however I doubt you would offer the same support to the factory, and start questioning the quality of the YD engine if it were originally available in numbers to you.
To make it clear, I have not had one throw a rod on me, I bought one in this condition, I just wanted to make sure this replacement engine was not going to do the same, we are developing serious problems over here with the reputation of Navaras, I know of personally, and have heard from others that they are rapidly becoming not worth a toss, some of the motor trade over here will not touch them.
Come on, how about a response from a responsible driver who has had one let go, to back me up, or I will eat humble pie and shut up!
