Hi all

I have owned mavericks for over 10 years now and love them to bits!
My last one died of rear end chassis rot ( not uncommon lol) and have just picked up an ex police Terry 2.7 '05 plate with 100k on it. 1 owner afetr police who diid full service every year til i got it. Clean coach work (miracle) and only minor surface rust on chassis legs.
Makes my teeth stick out when I go out to it every morning, especially now I put an original set of black Maverick wheels from my old one on it with some Maxxis bighorns!
After sorting out a couple of minor grizzles, white smoke on start up turned out to be a faulty glow plug.
Only issue now is a little excess vibration at idle and noisy dash when driving again from vibrations.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Also handy to know when buying you can look up on the VOSA website atv all previous MOTs and advisory's which helped me narrow down the field a bit.

Many thanks in advance and look forward to helping out when I can.
Cheers

Hi and welcome. After 10 years ownership of these, you should be able to offer quality advice too.
A photo or 2 would also stop the "we want photos brigade " pestering you

How do I post a pic? Not quite up to speed with this sort of thing

I use photobucket. I upload the photo there and copy and paste the img link into the thread.
Just this minute done this for Jim on his 3ltr thread and works well but others are having problems with photobucket

Hi and welcome mate, I set my camera to low res, (around 100k res) take the pics, stick the mem card in the lappy then just use the paper clip icon and follow it through, Rick
