Used crankshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The NV400 in the UK ran from 2011 onwards, with a facelift arriving in 2016, so a 2015 unit is pre-facelift and a 2018 unit is post-facelift — the engine code is the critical check here, as Nissan used the 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel family across both periods but ancillary and mounting details can change around a facelift year. If both vehicles share the same engine code (visible on your V5 or a VIN check), the crankshaft itself is very likely compatible, but confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
The NV400 was sold in the UK exclusively with 2.3-litre turbocharged diesel engines, and the engine code stamped on the block is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker — it tells them exactly which crankshaft specification your engine uses far more reliably than the year or badge alone. You can find the engine code on your V5 registration document or by running a VIN check through a specialist decoder.
No — body style and wheelbase do not affect crankshaft fitment at all, because the crankshaft is internal to the engine and is identical across all body configurations that share the same engine code. Focus on matching the engine code and fuel type rather than the van's body dimensions, and let the breaker verify compatibility against your registration.
The NV400, Renault Master, and Vauxhall Movano are all built on the same platform and share the same 2.3-litre diesel engine family, so crankshafts from donor vehicles across all three badges are commonly interchangeable where the engine code matches. This is worth knowing when searching on Findapart, as it widens the pool of available used parts significantly — always confirm the engine code match with the breaker before buying.
Trim level makes no difference whatsoever to crankshaft fitment — SE, SE Sport, and higher specification variants all use the same internal engine components for a given engine code. The crankshaft follows the engine, not the badge or the level of equipment fitted to the cab, so simply match the engine code and confirm with your breaker.
The NV400 range included both single-turbo and twin-turbo variants of the 2.3-litre diesel, and while the engine family is closely related, the crankshaft specification can differ between variants, so you should not assume they are interchangeable without checking. Give the breaker your engine code and registration so they can confirm whether the donor crankshaft is a genuine match for your specific engine build.
