Nissan Navara D40 - Cracked Chassis & Tub Removal

[@lukebeales5744]

Attempting this today, one of my cross members is completely snapped, not the part you have in this video, but the cross member behind the bulkhead… so today, by myself, I’m removing the rear tub, and welding it, and putting is all back together… in one day… also never touched a welder in my life 😂 So thankyou for your video.

You may want to contact Nissan Do some research on the internet.

cheers for the vid my dad wouldnt let me buy a mig welder till i fully knew how to fix his navara i must have rewathced this video at least 20 times

[@robertwelstead3979]

"Gurt big crack" That's I.O W speak. I have never heard Gurt else were . Nice video and very informative.

[@L663]

May be a bit of "brissle" ( Bristol ) Google "gurt lush" - I think Bristol has claim on this !

[@robertwelstead3979]

I'm 58 and we used Gurt to mean big on the I.O W. Live just outside of Portsmouth now(sadly). Just looked it up, and yes originated in Somerset. My long distend relatives come for there a couple of hundred years ago, so make sense. Look foreword to a vid on all the welding, if you do one.

[@cologne2792]

Gurt is a West Country term though I've not heard it for a bit - see also, Hasanum, Wasanum and Couldanum

[@nigeloglesby9028]

Great vid , thanks . I snapped one of the tub bolts , may I ask what size it is ,or where can I get new ones please?

[@L663]

You could try this website - see if you can find the original part number 7zap.com/en/

It's not the outside that's just the issue it's the rust on the inside. It eats its way out so no matter how many coats of paint you coat the outter with it's still gonna rust big time. only real solution is to cut strips from the bottom of the chassis hit the walls with a hammer to break up the crust and clean out the rust. Once you've rewelded the chassis all up you should waxoyl the inside of the chassis all the way from front to back soaking every nook and cranny..These chassis are so weak and prone to rust that Nissan is doing a recall. If your chassis is ripping at the rear spring holders then you won't get your vehicle back as it's deemed unroad worthy. As far as I've been told Nissan is only paying or compensating the owner's what the car's book price is.. check it out.. KZbin has countless videos showing these vehicles buckled where the tub meets the back of the cab due to the chassis splitting in two..Good luck..👍😁

Spot on

[@cornersandsills]

4 x 4 now are pretty poor,our manager has a ford ranger 2016, everything's cheap and nasty,roll bar is eye candy and made of tinfoil etc,bodywork looks so flimsy, certainley not built to last.

[@thecivilunrest2970]

You do realise that Nissan are buying back all navara D40 and pathfinders with cracked and snapped chassis

[@richardjones3096]

Mark T for a crap price! I got a 2011 mint but with 168k miles and they only offered £3900!

[@thecivilunrest2970]

Richard Jones the robbing bastards

[@richardjones3096]

Mark T yes, they won’t offer a penny more or offer to repair, they sent a letter to say I declined (which doesn’t give me the chance to sign) and they said they use my decline over the phone as proof I said no and that they take no further responsibility even after I said I use it with my kids in it.

[@chris77777777ify]

Richard Jones Well they are offering to give you brand new chassis. To me that’s would be worth having.

[@Landie_Man]

Why didn't you contact Nissan? They may have offered a replacement chassis

[@L663]

Hi - I will do this - if anyone has the contact details for nissan i will give them a call - may may a good video !

[@Landie_Man]

What did you have in mind?

[@L663]

It would just be good to record the call when they tell you that this is not a Nissan problem !

[@L663]

I contacted Nissan and they sent the RAC out to inspect it - they say the truck is going to be written off !

[@Landie_Man]

powerfulukltd get on the Nissan Navara Snapped Chassis Group! What price did they give.

[@tanglewood777]

ford transit mk 6 were made in spain to and these are rustbucketts

[@SILVER-JOKER]

been in the sea much how much rust is in the chassis

[@meintjiesj]

Wonder why this was not spotted by MOT checks, it would have been a gradual rust issue

[@L663]

Hi - think the issue was they rusted from inside out !

[@dancorcoran7118]

MOT testers only report corrosion within 'prescribed areas' (within so many inches of a suspension mounting point) or corrosion that causes sharp edges on the outside bodywork.

[@stevebills22]

How did it pass an mot

[@chris77777777ify]

No arch liner.

[@jordanfromthewaikato]

I’m starting to think all Nissans rust for different reasons.

[@markraptor50]

All that just to get to the spare tyre!!

[@philippecadart4577]

Bonjour je viens de m'apercevoir que j'ai le même problème le châssis et cassé ses vraiment de la merde je regrette d'avoir acheter une merde pareille tout se qui ont des 4x4 comme ça revener les car vous aller avoir le même problème le fer et une feuille à cigarette

[@L663]

[@gullf1sk]

Jesus christ what pieces of shit nissan navaras are, embarrassing im so glad i have a hilux

[@L663]

It's ok, Nissan had ours back but we also have a hilux :)

[@rodgeorge7244]

Why would anyone in their right mind buy one of these shit vehicles anyway

[@L663]

An even bigger question is why would someone who does not have this vehicle watch this video ?
