My 1997 2.7 Diesel Maverick

Clive Scowen · 20-10-2020, 20:47

I am 62 and from Harrow in Middlesex. I like Mavericks. My first (1995 2.7 5-door diesel) I bought in 1996 and drove for 19 years. My second was identical to the first - bought in 2018 but died in 2019 because I was unable to access a replacement radiator and fan. I still have it. If anyone knows of a source for those parts, or would like to buy it as it is, I would love to hear from you.

My third is a 1997 2.7 5-door diesel which I bought last year in excellent condition with remarkably low mileage. It was going brilliantly until yesterday, when I pranged it.

Because of its age it is likely to be written off.

However all it needs is a new front bumper, bonnet, offside front wing and radiator. So does anyone want to sell me these parts, or know where I might get them? Alternatively does anyone want to buy my vehicle in its current condition (which apart from the above is very good!) - it could be a rich sources of scarce parts.

Bumper, wing and radiator I might be able to help with, pic of the bumper would help as there are variants, had a bonnet but sent it to the scapper with last one, Rick, but think you will need to pay your tenner to upload a pic

I would be interested in buying the car as it stands, is it drivable? My 2.4 is poorly at the moment!

Solarman216. On reflection it may also need a new front panel which incorporates the lights (don't know what that is called). Also, do you happen to have a radiator and fan for the 1995 model?

Mike Wallace. It is not driveable any distance because of the hole in the radiator and I cannot even open the bonnet to try to top it up.

The front you are talking of is not a bolt on item, it is part of the main body, not sure of the radiator I have it could even be a petrol, it is hanging high up on the workshop wall been there a long time, will get it down and have a look, the fan blades I have several, the viscous coupling on the 2.7 is part of the water pump, but readily available, Rick

Solarman 216. Hopefully a picture of the bumper is attached.
