Did you ever find out what was causing the problem

I dont know about any mods but i have had mine for about 8 months and kept it stock apart from a snorkel and a few accessories but the one thing i have found after owning 5 other 4wds and dual cabs from nearly every make is that the 550 is bloody great. Goes like stink even as standard, gets...

I dont know how you go in Qland but in Melbourne where there are alot of dealers you can play one off against the other until all but one holds up their hands and says no more. Mine has just turned 6 months old and i got it for low 50s drive away.And remember they can throw in extras as they...

You are lucky you dont have the 550.I made sure the oil and filter were changed at the 1000k service and they charged an arm and a leg to do it as the 550 uses a 'special' oil which is made from the pelts of a small animal which is only found in Mongolia and it costs a kings ransom to extract it.

Mine is only 6 months old and it has just had its 10000k service.The dealer wanted $370 to upgrade my satnav and i politley declined.Next time i am buying a new vehicle instead of haggling and getting mats and weathershields thrown in i might try free satnav upgrades to sweeten the deal. The old...

You are right about the map upgrade.I just received the letter from Nissan telling me that there is an upgrade for the GPS unit in my 550. I rang the dealer today to book it in for its 10000k service and i enquired about the map upgrade and i was informed that it is available at a cost of...

I hope it all works out for you mate and we all find out the source of the problem. I know that when i bought my 550 earlier this year that Nissan were saying that if the Navara was off the road for more than 24 hours then they would supply you with a similiar loan car until yours was back on...

The wipers are adjustable but only to the positions set on the stalk.Its either a one second delay or a seven second delay and i was wondering is there some way to adjust these times?

I suppose it cant be a bad thing when the only thing i about the car that i am having a whinge about are the wiper delay interval. I have been pretty happy with it so far,10000 kms and giving good fuel economy,goes like stink and pretty comfortable. It ticks all the boxes for me.For me the STX...

Well it does rain in Melbourne sometimes and driving home tonight i put the wipers on the delay setting.In the first position on the wiper stalk they come on around every second but if you click to the next setting they only go on every seven or so seconds. Is that delay set at the factory or is...

Another one to consider would be a Kipor.I have the GS 2000 and it has not had any problems,is as quiet as a Honda and the power it produces is very stable and the lights dont flicker whenits being used.It starts first or second pull and i have ran it for over 10 hours without having to refuel...

Sorry but i forgot to say that the arrow stays where i am pretty well but i think that the maps they use are a little outdated as the newer roads i am on sometimes dont even show up.

No, mine comes on ok when i start the car then about twice a day the display turns itself off and the radio turns off then about 10 seconds later it all boots up again and works fine. I need to get Nissan to look at it but as its not a major drama i will wait until the 10000k service.

I have driven mine for 45km after the light came on and i put 75 litres in it so i wouldnt like to go much further than that.

Has anyone had a problem with the Stereo/Sat Nav display unit on their STX 550?About two or three times a day about a minute or so after start up the display cuts out and the stereo turns off and then a minute or so later it reboots and starts up again and all is well. I was wondereing if anyone...
