There was one for sale a while back that had been downrated, you could barely sit in it and be legal so no idea how they managed to downplate unless they had stripped it back to chassis. Sometimes I think of getting shot of the ranger and then having a either a proper van or tipper and a decent 4x4 for towing but it's another set of insurance and costs and no where to put it
Only silver lining is there's going to be some very very cheap pickups about in a couple of years time
already seeing new rangers sub 300pm now on chCommercial or normal? Dmax and ranger now available as a double cab with storage instead of seats so I assume aia claimable but useless if you need to take more than one passenger. Lately been mostly me in the pickup but has been a few times with 2 or 3 in.Only silver lining is there's going to be some very very cheap pickups about in a couple of years time
Had another good look at grenadier today . Proper working one a customers got sign written etc. so much to like about them...except perhaps mpg ..
I had Nissan do mine. They just did a change not a flush nor the sump off/filter change. According to Nissan it's not a servicable part but I see many do take the sump off. To clean the filters. They always look pretty clean in the videos anyway so unless it's on mega mileage I'm not sure there's much benefit to itHas anyone done an auto gearbox oil change on their D23?View attachment 81681
My '68 plate' has now clocked up 42k and maybe it's time to do it
And I know there's loads of rednecks doing their thing on YouTube but I want to know your experiences.
I am thinking a simple oil change. Filter is just a simple mesh thing. So is it worth cleaning that out or maybe do it next time. And I do realise that a simple 'oil change' is not the same as a flush. Some will remain in the torque converter.
What da ya think guys
Thanks for your quick reply. Yep this is exactly what I am planning to do before we drag the caravan up to Bonnie Scotland.
) .. diagnosis was very comprehensive TBF - now driving sweet as a nut
Agree that a simple oil change can fix shudder GraMy mate Simon has an old Nissan X-Trail, auto, which has had a strange rumble/shudder for a while, we've been trying to source for some time - felt for all the world like drive shafts/CVs, but all checked out fine
He resorted to banging all the symptoms into one of these AI jobbies (two actually) - both diagnosed it as in need of an oil change in the box (but disagreed on whether the filter was replaceable/washable - was going to set them against each other and see who won
Seeeeriously expensive oil bought from Nissan (could not find a guaranteed equivalent) and a trusted guy did the work for him (neither of us CBA to grovel about under it - ramp required) and totally cured the issues
that oil looks pristine, compared to what came out of Simon's - apparently .. black and smelly ..... and he's a pretty 'sympathetic' driver - not a lead welly merchant - has had the Nissan many yearsAgree that a simple oil change can fix shudder Gra
It's all over the Disco3 forums with such Witchcraft as flossing while engine running and adding Dr. Tranny etc.
How do I know this - 'cos I had a very nice Disco 3 HSE auto and did all the prevention stuff to prevent it from occurring
That said, I was lucky 'cos it's usually caused by the torque converter starting to fail.
I certainly believe in 'prevention is better than cure'
