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

.

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

thanks all

How do and welcome.
Usually cheaper at Nissan, but some parts cheaper on fleabay

Your calliper could be seized , it's a common problem. Take it off and give it a good seeing too

You could save a bunch of squids

If you fancy a little outing this weekend a few of us are off for a bit of green(ish) offroading.

Where about are you based

Well you've done well by the sound of it

I gather from others on here that it's good for towing tin tents too

Just so long as you tow it behind me all will dandy

Enjoy

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.
