Hi All!!

I have already posted this message but oops in the wrong catergory sorry!!!

Anyway, I have just purchased a vintage 2003 D22 with 2.5 and double cab. Love it to bits, 63,000miles only and the engine mod has been done., so pretty happy with the overall mechanical condition.
I have a couple of cries for help howver.........
First of all, its colour Blue and Silver I know, but, I am looking for touch up paint - stick and spray can required. I think that the colour code is 2Y9K. Can anyone confirm this and what does Nissan call this blue?
Secondly - It came with a canopy which is fine but it looks so much better with it off especially as it has the Nissan roll bar. I am therefore looking for a tonneau cover, hard one for security, to fit it and ideally without having to remove the rollbar. Does such a thing exist? And if so where would I get one? Would prefer second hand if possible or even consider having on made by local engineer if anyone had any ideas?

Many thanks in advance of any advice.

Regards

Brian

Welcome to the club.

Had mine since 02 can not answer your question about paint etc, but mines blue over silver, what blue i don't know.
Mines got 115,000 miles on it and sounds and drives like new. Watch the corners as it can step out with too much wellie on exit

. The back brakes are prone to binding(no real cure for this other than unbinding and cleaning at service time.)
The power steering may leak at the joint by the radiator,needs tightning to cure.
If you find a lack of power in 3rd and 4th gear its your neutral position switch located on top of the gear box.If this happens push the gear stick to the left while driving, if it improves its the switch(about £65 fitted) other than that they are a good work horse.
I would not change mine, i'll keep 'till it dies.
