Hi @Frederic Thanks for the suggestion. Even i thought about spending couple of thousand and fix everything once in for all. because i like its quirky old look and functionality. but again i changed my mind, During my last drive my nativa abruptly blow some white smoke. next day i took it to mechanic he cannot find exact cause as there is no white smoke now. but when i opened radiator cap before i start the engine i saw little bit of oil in the coolant. not too much but little bit floating on top of coolant. but engine oil seams fine, mechanic’s guess is head gasket is failing again. but have to open up and see. also car overheat when its idling for at least 15 mins, So cooling system also needs to be fully checked Apart from above another concern is lack of power. During last couple of drives I’m disappointed with performance, in quite steep incline the car wont climb as I wanted. So decided to fix the car and sell it and go for long term reliable partner.

looks like im also in the same boat. im also looking for dedicated solid off roader so i guess xterra off road version is the one to go. But even for 2009-10 Xterra off road version vs basic price difference is about 8-10K so my question is it possible to modify basic xterra to off road version. if yes how much it would cost and pros and cons. what i'm want additional to basic option is cruise control and rear difflock.

congratulations @Ale Vallecchi well deserved. ✌️ Hope to drive and learn many more with you in future.👍

It was excellent lead today by @Ale Vallecchi. The drive was very interesting with plenty of dunes to play along. It was my first time driving from faqa to solar park, looks like I’m already in love with this area. Big thanks to our seniors @Srikumar and @Vanessa8580 for helping all of us in multiple stuck and refusals. Unfortunately white smoke was a concern, Will Try to get it sorted tomorrow itself. Hope to see you all soon next time. Stay safe!!

Hi @Rahimdad bhai i will not be able to attend this drive got some other commitment on friday morning. Please give my place to next in line. Thanks.

Noted @Ale Vallecchi @Srikumar. See you on friday.

Hi @Ale Vallecchi exited for the drive but I don’t have extra lights. Hope it’s fine to drive with head lights on.

Hi @desertdude Thank you for detailed explanation. unfortunately i'm not technical enough tackle the fuel pressure issue as you mentioned. But do you think there is fuel pressure issue since i was able rev up to the max in 4L. i was loosing power only in 4H. also i recently changed gear oil and filter do you think that can have a link to above problem. good to know about the issues you mentioned. so i can mentioned it to mechanic when i visit next time. Ha ha.. yes we are really crazy.. and its hard to understand..

Thank @Rahimdad bhai. will have a look

hi @Rahimdad im not sure what these mechanics were up to. if possible can you recommend any workshop in sharjah to get it fixed or for a second opinion. Thank you.

hI @Frederic mechanic didn't remove the timing belt. only drive belt and pulley was removed. also head gasket was changed due to small oil leak, new spark plugs, Engine oil and filter, gear oil an filter. yes as you said i was struggling for power yesterday. i used to climb pink rock in 4H without any problem. but yesterday i was not able to climb even small dune i think at least 20% of pink rocks incline. but when i switch to 4L the engine was able to rev up. then i noticed if i drive bit longer in 4L engine is overheating. i had lot of refusal yesterday due to this loss of power issue. Any idea what is wrong here also i noticed yesterday my cruise control is not working. could this also linked to any of the above issues.

copy that.. see you tomorrow.

me too.. HI @Wrangeld what should be ideal tyre pressure for tomorrow. so we can deflate and be ready upon arrival.
