The saga with the van continues, it was booked in for a service after the Longreach trip, but after 12 days, nothing had been done so we took it back and I did the bulk of the repairs and servicing needed. The wheel alignment was done by Complete Laser Wheel Alignment. Both wheels were out and needed re-adjusting for toe in and castor/camber angle.
The fuel consumption for the Navara is still a problem. We had a week end at Mount Gambier for the trials, (That's why I had to get the van back from the Dave Bensons, the non-service agent, their idea of "customer service" is the mare service provided by the stallion). We left the van at Mt Gambier, drove home and got 12 litres per 100 Km, it should do better than 9. On the way back to the Mount, it did 13. Nissan say there is nothing wrong, but 40% worse than their advertised rate shouts out something is wrong.
We will be taking the Navara to an independent Nissan mechanic when we get back.
