I asked for the rubber donuts on the steering column, I was told they only come as the bottom section which is £200

There's one on fleabay for £14.99

I'm sure Nissan is getting worse as the years go on

you would think by now they would want to start getting shot of their stock pile of parts for the R20

They are obliged to supply parts for 10 years from their last production date.

So when was the last one made, 2006 ? add 10 years, then watch the prices fall...

so whats the end of the R20? 2006 right?

Last one made was on September 24th 2006, don't ask how I know that

I was told the R20 went on till 2007 in Spain but 2006 was the last year for us

Balls, they only stopped making the Trols in 2010, got another 6 years yet

Actually, having checked, I've got a lot longer - apparently still making them for Aus, South Africa and a few other countries to compete with the Landcruiser 70...

Nah bud, got excited!

Prices of genuine parts from Nissan would fall a bit if they stopped making them as they'd want to get rid of the stock - if they still make them then that aint gonna happen
