There is a tapping noise from the motor of my 2007 Nissan Navara
This sounds like a classic case of a hydraulic lifter (also called a lash adjuster) that is dying a slow death. These components rely on engine oil pressure to maintain the correct clearance between the engine valves and the rockers that actuate them, and any wear will show up as a ticking noise when the engine is first started and is still building oil pressure. They can often 'tick' for a few seconds or more before going quiet.
The recurrence of the noise has probably got something to do with a fall in oil pressure at idle when the engine warms up, allowing the lifter to start ticking again. But the engines in this series of Navara were also known for ticking or rattling noises as the result of worn camshaft-chain tensioners, broken or damaged cam bearing bolts and wear in the auxiliary pulleys and belt tensioners. If the noise does turn out to be a dud lifter, do the smart thing and replace them all, as wear in one means certain wear beginning in the others.

What is the GCM of a 2005 Nissan Navara?
The towing limit on this model Navara varies enormously according to what engine and transmission is fitted. As a result, the Gross Combination Mass (GCM) also varies a lot between models. As such, the 2.4-litre petrol Navara has a GCM of 4230kg, the V6 petrol a GCM of 4850 and the turbo-diesel is much higher at 5920kg.
Don't forget, the GCM includes the vehicle, whatever it's towing and everything else on board, including fuel, accessories and even passengers.

Does my Nissan Navara have a diesel particulate filter?
You haven't given me much to go on with here, Noel. Without the year and specification of your Navara, I can't even guess if it was fitted with a DPF or not. That's because Nissan has had a bit of an on-again-off-again relationship with DPF technology. To the extent that in some versions of the Navara, the automatic variant had a DPF and the manual did not.
But you can check for yourself by taking a look under the car. A DPF looks a bit like a muffler, but with a couple of metal pipes coming out of it and usually an electrical connection or two. Some of this stuff may be hidden behind heat shields, however. In most cases the Navara's DPF will be located in the middle section of the exhaust system, roughly beneath the front passenger's seat.

How can I fix the right-front axle in a 2013 Nissan Navara?
Running over a piece of old fencing wire is not uncommon on farms and regional areas and, as you’ve discovered, it can do a lot of damage if it gets wrapped around a moving part. It sounds as though the inner CV joint is badly damaged and that’s allowing the axle to `float’ in and out of its proper position.
If you’re lucky, a replacement CV joint might be all that’s required. But a word of caution: Don’t attempt to drive the vehicle as it is. If the axle jumps ship from the differential completely, it can flail about under the vehicle, causing all sorts of expensive damage.

Nissan Navara 2023 Accessories
The standard features list in the Nissan Navara SL Warrior includes a 8.0-inch multimedia touch-screen (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), AEB, and a rear diff-lock.
But what's more interesting is the fact that Premcar, the Melbourne-based vehicle-engineering mob responsible for making Nissan’s Warrior program a success, has added more than a claimed $11,000 worth of goodies to the SL Warrior including a Navara-branded black bash plate at the front, an off-road coated bullbar with hoops and integrated LED light bar, fender flares, suspension lift, Warrior wheels and all-terrain tyres (Cooper Discoverer AT3s, LT (Light Truck) 275/70R17), a tubliner, and a towbar.
It misses out on quite a lot of driver-assist tech including a surround-view monitor (with moving object detection), Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Drive Mode Selector, and Off Road Monitor.

Nissan Navara 2023 Range
Nissan claims average combined consumption of 7.3L/100km but after our 300km test, of which about one third was lugging a heavy payload, our figure calculated from fuel bowser and tripmeter readings came in at 10.3L/100km. So, based on our figures, you could expect a ‘real world’ driving range of around 770km.
