Expanda, I bought our Navara from Nissan at Tweed but only had my 1st service done there as they are a bit far from me. I get my service done at Fleetec in Southport but have not have to have any major work done anywhere.
I wish I could be more help, mate.

Cheers mate any help is greatly appreciated
!Thanks mate, ill steer clear of Nissan for now and go to an independent mechanic...
I have a guy up here "Antz Autos" who I found on the pootrol forum so will go up there in the morning
!
Thanks Andrea we have found someone on the tweed so fingers crossed they are as good as the reviews
!
it cost me about $50 to get the codes read on the computer at ouir local holden dealer a few years ago for the jackaroo
Cheers all for the help and support.....
Found a mechanic in the tweed who diagnosed it with a split turbo pipe.
He is suggesting that due to the split turbo pipe its not registering any boost so is keeping the car constantly fuelled which is cuasing the black smoke from over fuelling.
Pipe is being freighted from Sydney and will arrive tomorrow so should have a full diagnosis completed tomorrow.
Once all is done and resolved I will post the mechanics details but first impressions are very positive on the service received.
Drove in this morning with the phone ringing of the hook and with an hour had a diagnosis, cost and time frame.
Can not be more than happy with that!!!

Glad it is all sorted
There is an App for the iPhone/iPad which I use called Dash Command which gives me the ability to read engine trouble codes, (what Im going to do with them I dont know) but could help someone mechanically minded to sort a problem. It aslo gives some great extra info like boost pressure, Intake temp, Coolant temp and a lot of other useless info as well, there are a few ways to connect to your vehicle one is wirelessly another is bluetooth and the way I use is the OBDII cable, either way you need a interface device to connect to the OBDII port, I think I also remember someone else posting somewhere about another gadget called Scan gauge which I believe does the same thing.
