hi all another newbee from suuny South Wales
just bought a (R)reg 2.7TD LWB Maverik.
its got 105k on the clock and only cost (£950)

had an M.O.T today and a pleasant supprise that it only failed on 1brake calliper :thumbs:thumbs.


if i am correct on what i have read this is exactly the same as the terrano in every way ?? body,engine gearbox ect

if i am right (please correct me if wrong)does any1 know when buying parts is it cheaper with FORD or NISSAN.

stupid dumb question i know:o:o:doh:doh

How do and welcome.
Usually cheaper at Nissan, but some parts cheaper on fleabay:cool:
Your calliper could be seized , it's a common problem. Take it off and give it a good seeing too:thumbs
You could save a bunch of squids:sly
If you fancy a little outing this weekend a few of us are off for a bit of green(ish) offroading.:augie
Where about are you based

Welcome and yes they are identical in almost every way, theres a few trim detial differences, radios etc but thats it, mechanically they ae the same. The imported (from Japan) NissanMistrals ae almost the same too but there are a couplemore differences on them , like th rear door and number plate holder and the front calipers etc.
