Hi Mav I have not had to replace the disc or pads on my vehicle yet....however, I have purchased brake parts from this company in the past....excellent service and competitive prices..just click the 'shop now' button to be taken to their online catalogue....X Trail parts in stock...

The top of my steering wheel has also gone soft...think it may be a fairly common problem....rather than replacing the steering wheel I simply paid a little over a fiver for a chunky steering wheel cover....worked a treat...

I always take my vehicles to our local M.O.T Testing station rather than a garage....the testing station does not do any repairs to vehicles..they only M.OT. them. This means that I can be absolutley confident that any reasons given for failing my vehicle are genuine. I then either fix the...

Had this same problem with another vehicle...however it was a little more serious than a damp patch....the sump had seriously corroded and small pin holes had appeared...when I cleaned the sump up with engine cleaner and a wire brush to get rid of the flaking rust things got considerably...

Hmmm..my Mav does the same too....nice rattle in nutral with foot off the clutch pedal but as soon as I depress the clutch the noise goes. No problems whatsoever selecting any gear...no stiffness, no notchiness.. nowt.. :?

Arthur who started this thread has asked me to post a photo of his oil leak.Arthur also asked me to arrow the offending cracked bolt/nut behind the banjo connection where the oil is leaking from....thing is Arthur m8 I am not sure which nut/bolt it is that I should arrow.....here is the photo...

Nice one m8...looking forward to the results of your creativity....don't forget to post your photos :smile:

A wee tip...to get the pistons back in the calipers use one of those G clamps from B&Q ..the ones with a trigger action so you can do it one handed...makes the job a cinch.

Brittle !!! naw it hangs on the outside of hooses fer years m8..nothin brittle about plastic drainpipe...in fact its almost indestructable...where did ya get brittle from ? :smile: Are we talking about getting a vehicle up to it armpits in water here or some kind of fashion parade :lol...

Just an update on this thread...having removed the sender inspection panel and cleaned up the plug as well as removing the instrument pod and checking on the multiplug I thought controlled the fuel gauge the gauge still continued to be very erratic. When the gauge was malfuctioning (needle at...

Plastic drainpipe comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes...must be somthing that would suit the Mav.... :lol:

Must have been cos I don't have it either...I know abs is a safety device but having had problems with abs systems on other vehicles and experiencing the difficulties tracking down faults and getting them rectified I'm kinnda glad my Mav don't have it :smile:

Grease guns are designed to fit on a grease nipple and force grease under pressure into the UJ,ball joint,steering knuckle etc. I doubt that you would be able to get the grease to wherever its supposed to go by simply squeezing grease into a hole m8. I think your idea or removing the grub screw...

If 'pretty' doesn't matter then I would construct your own using nothing more than a length or two of plastic drain pipe and some of that flexible air ducting. A friend of mine made his own snorkel for his jeep...cost very little but 100% effective

Hi Rustic Couldn't help noticing in your post above that you mention a wiring diagram for your Mav mk1. Do you have a complete manual for your Maverick .... If so where did you get it from m8 ? I have searched high and low for a Maverick manual and the only one I could find was for later...

Hi Arthur Ah sorry I thought it might be the breather pipe leaking as in the photo of other post I mentioned.. To post a pic of your problem you would need to have your photo hosted on one of those free photo hosting sites e.g.www.fotopic.net That is the hosting site I use...then you can...

Nice one :smile: Nothing like a bit of DIY to make you feel good :lol:
