ph5172 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Have you tried Eurocar parts? I am sure they had panels and fixtures last time i looked Or worse case http://www.pentagon-nissan.co.uk/parts-accessories/body-panels may have them in or at least have a part number that will make it easier to trawl the net?

db135 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Auto panels in Birtley country Durham if they don't do them you might have to get sum made I had a Peugeot 406 estate was great car but sills rotten no after market one made by anybody so made sum using metal folder a local engineering company might do them for you?

Davyo Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I had a grand vitara on an 02 plate,unfortunately they don't do or you can't get a patent part for the sill.Had to have them cut out and new ones fabricated and welded in £300 ouch.As a last resort you might have to go down this route.

39TDS Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Probably cheaper to buy a new truck than ask Nissan. I have a Cabstar, Terrano and Xtrail at the moment, I like Nissan but their spares are eye watering. Like £200+ for a handbrake cable.

gustaff Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 nissan are having a serious corrosion problem on navaras and pathfinders and are doing a buy back for vehicles seriously corroded but you need to speek to nissan dealers.one navara pickup was in such a bad corroded state and internally hanging you wouldnt keep chickens in it owner got 6k back for 53plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3vert Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Mel if your sills are so badly corroded they need replacing, I would get the chassis inspected before wasting money on the sills! If you are on facebook search for Nissan navara snapped chassis group. Loads of great advice on there mate. There is no point in throwing good money at a truck that might be snapped in a few months :-( Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thankyou for the advice guys , it had the sills patched in the end , ill carry on looking for a new pair of sills for next year though. I think its only a few of the newer navaras that have the snapping chassis issues, but ill take a look . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
