200kg of sand sorts that out my vans brilliant in the snow.

yes ,you do need to be a bit light footed ,but great workhorse.

Well I'm thinking a cabstar is on the cards. How are they on diesel?

[lutonlagerlout]

about 40p a mile at current prices
ours is 2 litre diesel

Ps according to load etc

sorry to correct you tony. never known you ever be wrong on here, but it will be a 2.5l or 3. not 2!

[lutonlagerlout]

you know what dan I dont know!!
I dont know exactly what i can carry load wise
I dont know what I can have on a trailer
i dont know why the effing doors lock when the keys are inside it
and no one at nissan wants to tell me
i expect all vehicle companies are the same,but once you have bought it they basically cut you adrift
no one wants to answer any questions
I know a car dealer for a major uk dealer (top salesman etc etc) and he says the attitude is "once its sold its sold," all they want then is warranty work

[lutonlagerlout]

cheers LLL

ring nissan head office tony. they were VERY helpful when i complained about my local dealer. they wanted to give me a car as a courtesy vehicle for a week. As soon as Head office got involved they miraculously found a brand new navara! (which mysterously got smashed up they day before i needed it)

on our old cabstar we swapped the wheels for range rover wheels and tyres (the old rusty range rovers) and always had a layer of council greys on the back under the ply to make it handle better, especially on the hilly lanes rd our way

great workhorse, but crap off tarmac. mine will get stuck on a lawn. sometimes i have loaded the digger on trailor only to get stuck, so have to unload and tow with digger, also had to do this inthe snow.
giles, dont think you would carry much weight with rover tyres on at 30 psi, mine are 75 psi. think we have talked about these wheels before, great idea for winter work if not carrieing to much weight,

[dig dug dan]

i should point out that the new shape cabstars now have limited slip diffs fitted as standard. never got stuck yet!

[digerjones]

the new shape ones are real ugly brutes. with mine been single wheels on the back and 75 psi makes the tryes rock hard so not sure the diff being different would make much difference
