Hi All. My 97 Maverick 2.7TDI while parked last few days has suddenly grown a fault. Ignition lights all come on and look right but move key to start and it won't crank. Just a quiet click from somewhere. I thought battery, so charged it over night to be sure. The little red light above dash...

Hi all. I have ongoing issues with my remote locking. Few weeks back it suddenly didn't work with either fob. Replaced all batteries, no change and neither seemed to re-code Then one fob started to work again and has done for past fortnight. Then it just stopped. During this time a member sent...

Maverick Key Fob Issue Update Hi. Thanks for reply. I have since managed to program one of the fobs. There is nothing you can easily test in the suspect unit as buttons are capacitance based. Therefore has anyone got a working two button fob (red/black button) for Terrano/Maverick they...

Hi All. Ref my 1997 Maverick 2.7TD. Some years back I put new batteries in both and succesfully programmed two Fobs. Used one for every day the other tucked away. Recently the used Fob didn't work but the spare did so I assumed batteries. Changed batteries, still didn't work so tried to...

Hi All Rear brake load compensator valve assy has gone to heaven on my 1997 SWB Maverick. Does anyone know where to get a usable replacement. Regards GH Direct

Hi All. Not sure whether I have an issue or not with my Maverick 2.7td cooling system. Seems fine on local runs 40-50mph however crank it up or pull a loaded trailor and within a minute you can smell the engine getting hot from within the cab and the temp guage rapidly goes up. So past months...

Hi all. My 1997 Ford Maverick 2.7TD had a pre-MoT which gave me a list of things to weld. One of which is a rust hole on inner wing area within 30cm of the brake servo. Looking at this problem I note a pipe the size of a fuel pipe going nowhere. I attach a picture. What does this pipe do...

Hi All If I change the clutch on my 1997 Ford Maverick 2.7TD with 112k. Should I change the rear crank Oil Seal and the Crank Sensor or are these parts with a long life. If yes can anyone provide part numbers or right place to obtain. Regards GHDirect

Hi All. My trusty 1997 SWB 2.7TD Maverick is showing some slipping on clutch under load. Think its original unit with 112k miles. I am lucky as have 4 post ramp available via colleague, but both of us are getting old so not looking forward to any heavy humping. Can't find any detail on how best...

Hi All With some helpful ideas from members and some skillful fabrication/welding from a colleage my Maverick rear spring top mounts are now in place and a few other corroded areas patched ready for MoT. In changing the front worn CV joint I note the disc backing plate is almost corroded...

Hi All. My beloved 1997 2.7 TD Maverick is terminal!!!! unless I can repair/replace the corroded L/H rear coil spring upper bracket that is welded to the chassis. Currently its up on a colleagues ramp awaiting ideas. I can’t be the first person to suffer terminal corrosion in this area. Does...

Thanks for the info.

Hi All Short time back I posted asking advice on where to get a replacement front drive shaft (drivers side) for my 1997 2.7 Maverick as the rubber boot has split and CV knocks if engaged. I thought a complete shaft was easier way to go. A member suggested I try...

Excellent. Thanks for the info

Hi all. My 1997 Maverick has a split CV rubber boot on drivers side. Also this CV clangs on lock in reverse. (4x4 not engaged) Therefore I assume CV and new boot required. Is it easier to get a complete second hand drive shaft or strip the old one down and renew CV and boot? Is there any write...
