When you get to around 40 miles per hour the steering seems to drift

I bought the car and drove it home a distance of maybe 5 miles and it seemed fine, I arranged for a garage to take it away to adjust the headlights and change the speedo so I could register it in the UK. They phoned me the same day and told me there was a fault with the steering and when you get up to 40MPH the car drifts and it is unsafe to drive that was six months ago and they tell me they can not get a replacement part.

    you seriously must like this dead car to hang on to it for all this time unless you have already spent way too much money on it..if a parts store cant get parts.. what does that tell you??it tells me to be rid of the car..there are better cars to spend money on..I am on disability and own a running 91 dodge.. and a running 89 ford van..I fix them myself...have been for years..car has 350,000 plus miles on it..van has a little more than half of that..but since its bad on gas.. I dont run it unless I have to..

What is the normal fuel comsumption for a nissan navara

when you say it seems to be using too much, that is just a feeling
what you have to do is fill it right up and press the trip meter on the speedo
then you drive/use the vehicle normally until you are around 1/4 tank on the gauge
fill it right up again and record the reading on the trip meter
reset the trip meter and use normally again
repeat the process say for 4 tank fills recording each trip distance
then you will see what the fuel consumption is for example 40 liters for 400 klms is 10 liters per 100 klms or 20 galls for 200 miles is 10 gallons per 100 miles
the requirement to record distance and fuel put in will give you an accurate consumption over traffic, driving and atmospheric conditions from there you can ask --is this consumption figure around right for the car?

2005 545i bmw sputtering at 40 miles per hour

So, here's what you have to do - it's a frikkin tranny reset!!

Drive in manual mode M5 for 5 minutes at over 60MPH, then switch it to M6 for 1 minute, then back to M5 for 2 minutes, then back to auto.
Note: the car is going to sputter continuously when you have it on M5 for the 5 minutes.

That was it - drove around for 30 minutes afterwards and no issues what so ever!! Unbelievable!!!

Steering and real bad vibration in front end

That is known as "the death wobble" for very obvious reasons. You need to install steering dampeners . They look like shocks and they mount between the drag link and the frame. They will cure the problem. Don't delay putting them on your Jeep. Hope this helps.

98 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4X2 suddenly dies .....

It sounds like you have some **** in the gas tank that is being drawn to the pickup blocking it.
Have seen this and because it seems so random, it can drive ya nuts.

You might carry a coffee can with you and pull the line from the fuel rail when this happens stick it in the can and just have someone turn the key on for a few seconds.
Beware though, it comes out with force.

Also possible is a failed fuel pressure regulator.
Those aren't expensive and . . . well, not very good either.
