Hi!

Hi

Great-looking site, I look forward to having a thorough read.

I'm not an owner yet - I'm currently on the search for either a doubecab 4x4 D21 or D22 (not Navara).

I dare say this is well-trodden ground, but I'd be very grateful for any tips on what to check on those models, or if you could point me to the relevant thread/s?

Many thanks

The d21 and d22 are navara's most are fitted with yd25 engines which have good reputations for throwing conrods through the block.Many are modified with the terrano engine

Hi

Thanks for coming back so quickly.

I understood that the 86-97 D21s had the TD25 engine, as did the slopey-nosed (for want of a better description!) 97-00 D22s?

[disco_monkey79]

p.s. I also thought that the Navara name came in when the shape changed from the 97-00 "slopey"? As stated, all info greatly received.

Hi and welcome aboard. Your facts are indeed quite correct cos I used to work for. Dealer when those were around. Sadly however Id be amazed if you found an early one still around. They were reffered to as either d21 or one ton pickups.

He was asking about d21 and d22 double cabs would those early trucks have been double cabs

In those days they'd of been imported if they were double cabs. Nice looking trucks and the TD25 was far better than the later Navs but seen as most of us use the big brother to that engine.

I bow to your knowledge, but I was wondering if I read your reply wrong, I did not think "all" D21's were Navara's. We have the WD21, which I was told was just a "wide bodied" D21, and that is called a Terrano R3M, and in the past, a guy called Kevin on here, had a crew cab D21 pickup, but again, as far as I remember, that was still called a Terrano, both of which had the TD27 engine.

As far as i know the d21 and d22 are called navara here but they are called different thing in different parts of the world the r3m is an import as far as i am aware ,Other point on engine is correct i said mostly fitted with the yd 25 but early ones did have td27 and later ones zd30

Cheers... That clears the water for me, as ours is definitely an import and I struggle getting any bits as there does seem to be a lot of confusion over what it "really" is, some sites list it as a Pathfinder, and others as a Surf... I will add Navara to the list of potential donors as well...

Thanks all for the replies.

So would any UK-sold (i.e. not imports) cars have had the TD25? I've seen a few advertised as such, but I'm keen to avoid an import, or one that's had an engine swap.

Also, how can an idiot (i.e. me) tell at a glance a TD25 from a YD25?
