I was thinking the same thing. Nothing worse than a car filled with mold you really need to strip and steam clean the interior to make them safe...

Seems like that Navara has some water damage inside. Could be a flood car? You should change the oils from the engine, gearbox, transfer box, and rear axle differential. Change the timing chain, and paint the chassi with a antigravel coat of paint. Enjoy it.

My inner OCD loves the interior detail you did.

I've missed your content. This was not what I was expecting,....but it is a fun to see the transformation. Thanks.

Great find and a nice complement to your super car fleet. I'm doing a similar thing with a bargain neglected 2008 Toyota Tundra. The mechanical issues were pretty simple. It took some light body work, lots of elbow grease inside and out, and it's shaping up to be a nice truck, just like this Nissan. Keep up the good work! I like how you pay attention to and remedy the little details, the seen and unseen. It'll be interesting to see what you do with the outside and chip away at the issues causing the warning lights.

i'm really enjoying the truck, its a lot of fun and easy to work on ......having just as much fun on this as the Ferrari's

Always enjoy your Bargain fixes, which you were here on the east coast of the states.

As a yank I'm so jealous of the diesel nissan pickups

Absolute bargain that Scott 👌👍

Nice one. Looking forward to the next one. Keeping it real. Thanks

What a nice change, it was good to see you looking for a little truck, and watching what you are doing with it, love the Ferrari stuff but I'm just dreaming! Look forward to the next one on the Nissan. 👍

Definitely looks as though it had been in deep water.. Don't know how how much it costs, but the spray on bed liner that's popular in the States might help tidy it up. Great find though, and thanks for the upload.

Your disgust was palpable and actually had me laughing so hard, I’ve been there! Some people just don’t care about their things.

Really enjoyable what a fab transformation will be watching next episode we’ll done that game looks fantastic quality.

Great job on that interior. Always satisfying doing that.

I just love car cleaning videos and also cleaning my car, it is so refreshing. The perfect state of an interior is when you want to get in with no shoes.

Enjoy watching your videos great job on that interior .

You should have taken the front seats out, so you could clean this area better :-)

Great deal! Looks fantastic!

FYI Scott, for trim cleaning and small knobs and etc it's best done with a tooth brush, used one will do just fine. It gets all the small debris out and then you just vacuum it or vacuum as you go. I see you're a clean freak as am I so I though I'd share 😁

How could the seller not have been embarrassed by the state of that

A classical builders truck. Never been cleaned and still runs on the original oil. I would have gone for it, in a heartbeat. Great buy. 👍🏻🇩🇰🙋🏻‍♂️ Actually the last three letters on the licenceplate; NEJ, means NO in Danish. 😂

I can't believe the old owner actually drove around in that garbage tip

You did a perfect job of cleaning the interior of your new Nissan. It looks immaculate inside now!!! About the the people who owned it before you would think someone smart enough to buy a nice new truck like this would be smart enough to take care of it properly!!

ya bro here in Canada it's called the Frontier and in Europe and other Parts of the world it's definitely called the Navara

Unbelievable the condition of the interior?! Fantastic clean up!

We had a 54 plate new at work, biggest pain was the 5k mile oil changes. I was on first name terms with the Nissan service counter lass😂. Good luck finding a NBC suit at the moment😉

Looks like the Titan over here in the US. We hardly ever get their small turbo diesel engines over here of course. Looks like they used it to store all their leftover food after they ate it on the floor and seats but it's amazing what a proper cleanup will do for a basically solid but badly neglected car. Looks like you'll have a great cheap to run parts runner and family truckster when it's all sorted.

I would def have used a steam cleaner on the inside.. That’s one filthy car! But I reckon a good buy!

been searching for this summers project car online and at auctions and so on. but with people intending on paying retail prices for used vehicles at auction its kinda bad for guys like us just looking for a vehicle to work on cause we enjoy doing it

these are very popular and very modified in australia. i have a 2013 model and love it

Try using a ozone generator 1-2 times to kill all the nasty stuff from the inside

That’s exactly what I need too - something to haul my daughters when not in the F430 ;)

Chain guides issues well known on this model, chain guides slip, causing issues with camshaft sprockets, crankshaft pulley, if it slips jumps of sprockets. Bang goes your engine. Also issues with DPF, clockspring in steering wheel causing issues with SRS system. X 3 brake caliper seizing. I know I have spent about £2K sorting these problems out over the last year after buying one with full service history. Good luck.

mike paton My 2008 Nissan Pathfinder with the 4.0 V6 has some timing chain whine. Though it isn’t as loud as others that I’ve heard it’s still concerning. 167,000 miles on the odo. It’s unfortunate these D40 and R51 models are plagued with weird and unnecessary problems.

Nice, I just wish we got the turbo diesel in the US, I have a 2018 king cab SV long bed 5 speed manual with a.... 2.5L N/A gas motor 🤦🏻‍♂️ reliable but rly lacks any kind of power

Hey mate, how did you take out the cup holder etc. just got the same car and need to give it a good clean also.

Great little project this. Must admit I have a soft spot for these pickups. I have thought of getting one myself. There such a great tool. Looking forward to the next instalment , and seeing what you find . This could end up be a great buyers guide... make sure you check the injectors they are a massive problem for these engines causing turbo faliure and massive engine failure dumping fuel into the oil.. check out west Yorkshire engines on KZread specialist in these trucks.

Nice, it's a manual shift. Those things can all be addressed in time. Congrats on your choice.

Had a Nissan Navara best vehicle I ever bought I had it 2 years got it at auction Nissan definitely more than I paid

Is that telephone box made in the lion foundry Kirkintilloch? If so that’s my home town , we are very proud of the history of them

As the guy from the KZread channel Autoshine cars would say, "It's desguustin"! He would have taken out the front seats as well to give the seats a good clean, plus gives you would would get really good access to the front of the cabin.

I bought the same Navara for £3250 on a Saturday knowing it had a chassis recall, by Thursday I sold it back to Nissan as it failed inspection for £5350!! Great Truck even better profit!! Check your chassis recall.

You should bought a Navara before 2002. They got some issues with the timing chain on some early D40 models.

All D40 Navaras and R51 Pathfinders suffer from stretched timing chains.. you need to do a Billcar lower duplex upgrade. Not hard just time consuming. Did it on our Pathfinder and its been bullet proof since.

Indeed, did you check the car history for flood damage?

You can't go wrong with this model.

You need a Bisselll spot clean pro for that interior

Also could you show how to replace the fog lights? Regards Q.

Search facebook for a guy called paul gate at hcr auto, hes the go too guy in the uk for problems with these trucks. Very respected on the navara pages.

Even I didn't let my car get that bad.

Does this year and version have the DPF system? If it does, the loss of power will be because the system is blocked. I'd also strip out the interior and give it a thorough clean and then put a large Ioniser in the car for a few hours to kill of all the spores etc. It also kills all odours, which I imagine this has.

I have just released a video of all my mold in my Freelander....we could of done a mold episode together....compare mold.

You really need to be careful with mold in cars. I strongly recommend a proper carpets out clean. Mold spores will mess you up. A little bit of bleach in the wash water as well. As for the chassis you should give it a dose of rust kill on the inside.

Be carefull buying one of these... the chassis' snap in the area where the rear leaf springs attach.. best to check the chassis before you buy one!

It looks like a great buy as long as you don't mind fair bit of cleaning. But if you can built the Ratarossa this is nothing. It will be a fun series of video to see how to fix up this truck.

There is a Conection under drivers side of the wiring harness that let's on water, Stupid design but this caused my navara to go into limp mode when full of water, turns out you can't drive them through puddles 😂

You should use a small steam cleaner, does wonders and very use to use.

Those dents are cheap to get sorted I went to dent devils £100 did a perfect job. That cleaning I reckon you put £1k on the value

Think you should call it Mermaid as it's spent all it's time under water!!!

For the chassis, take a look at Mustie1 on youtube, he lives in a rustbelt area of usa and runs VW campers, his fix is to clean the chassis and coat them in oil to stop them from rotting out.

This is when you realise that UK pickups aren’t very practical. Good for towing, but that’s about it

A truck so bad for chassis corrosion Nissan will buy them back

A Nissan Frontier (Navara) is a reliable truck, but the gas mileage is awful and the ride is harsh and the handling ponderous, and the interior noise is deafening, just not a pleasant truck - a 10 year older Toyota Tundra (2002) is actually much nicer to drive than this heap - the only thing really good about these is that they have been reliable, unlike the Nissan full size trucks and most other Nissan vehicles. Now if this example has been in a flood or something, then even reliability would be out the window.
