Maverick By Name, Maverick By Nature...
Jeepers! When I took my Maverick in on the p/x deal on my MR2, little did I know what I was letting myself in for...
First trip out, battery died, rusty exhaust gassed me out then broke off; died on me, half mile from home...: New Battery, new zorst - £210 to you, squire! Next, it starts coughing & spluttering, conks out again...: New fuel filter, new air filter, clean MAF - another £22... Throttle cuts out on me - dodgy connection at sender unit... Gearbox sticking - replaced oil...: £17... Front shocks sh*gged...: New shocks, £64 a pair... Took it for a short run - beautiful!!! Hopefully, it'll be worth the wait & work, now...though that still leaves me the windscreen washer to sort (mysteriously packed up on me in my test-drive tonight with the shocks/gearbox jobs done), the interior light door switches, the drivers' door card & window switch (it decided when it wants to work)...oh, and another set of security wheel-nuts...  Oh, Lord - Please help me to see my way through this winter without further mishap & expense? Pretty PLEASE????

my screen washer packed up after an air filter change too, the hose runs close to the filter & one of the filter clips clamed it off

 May be the subs should go down each year.  for loyal members....Or if you contribute to the forum for all others to benefit, there should be a reward..... like free regalia..... Or if you introduce a new member, you get ........? This club, sorry.... it's members....have saved me a small fortune over the years, and I will continue to support it..
