Maverick 2.4 newbie
Hi guys and girls,
Thought I'd pop in and say 'Hi'. I have just purchased a Ford Maverick 2.4 5 door. What a bargain used buy! I was looking for something Japanese and chain driven and I knew the Terrano/Maverick link so had a good look around. I needed a 7 seater as my trustee Merc W124 estate has died (short term) and I found this lovely truck locally. 2.4 Maverick GLS with 98k miles, history and under £1k. Madness but good for me  I have signed up to get some I sight on these undervalued trucks. Looking forward to discovering more about these great value beasts  Dave |

Welcome Mate
Plenty of knowledge here , chassis, electrical, body and interior were are all expertsHowever any tricky questions around the 2.4 lump and it seems that "Solarman216" (Rick) is the go to guy as he has a few purely for off road use I think so as you can imagine a lot of repairs needed As long as you've paid your £10 for the year PM me and I'll get you added to the Milner Off Road list so you are eligible for club discount http://www.milneroffroad.com/nissan/...-22002-terrano How is the truck for rot?

Yep welcome mate, I have several 2.4 petrols 2 on road one off road and loads engine bits, plus some TDi's as well, regards at 78 k I would think the timing chain will be in need, does it rattle on startup before the oil light goes out? Rick

Many thanks for the warm welcome. Hope you all had a good Christmas in amongst the weather chaos. This might make you smile...
Drivers window not working but could hear the feint 'clicking' of the relay. So took off the door panel/trim and checked all connections etc. All seemed good...  Only then did I notice the bit of 2x2 pine baton wedged in the door holding the window in place   FFS. No mechanism, nothing. Just a bit of wood. Classy.  Guess I have my first job then....
