Hi I know this is a long shot but does anyone have a crankshaft timing sensor for a 1997 2.7TD Maverick GLS. It is the sensor located at the front of the engine and is 22ml diameter. It is impossible to source one in France, where I live, and the price for a new one through Ford UK is sadly...

Thanks guys for your suggestions but it is all too technical for me. I have managed to locate a technician and am going to see him on Wednesday. If all goes well I won't be back but if not ............

Hi, thank you for the suggestions. It is a 2.7 TDI with the air scoop on the bonnet. I have removed the banjo jobbie but there is no filter in it. Now just have to carefully put it back together again tomorrow. It may be my age but I am not fully understanding the paper clip suggestions. Can...

I am the proud owner of a 1997 Maverick that has taken to 'hunting' on tickover. When the engine check light (crawl home mode) is on it runs ok. All filters are ok, not long changed so it is not them. The car is perfect when travelling, it is just when the engine is ticking over at junctions...

Hi, has anyone got an external door handle for the rear tailgate on a 1997 Maverick to sell? I need one before she goes for the French CT (controle technique) the equivalent of the English MOT. I believe all the door handles are the same, maybe someone can confirm this. I did order one from...

Oops, silly me, yup wrong master & slave - and I cannot find the correct one on the suppliers site :(

wrong one. nothing like - oh dear :(

Hi Adz My parts have just arrived by DHL :thumbs Have you received yours too?

Adz It says on the parts description that both items are in stock, so why on back order? Hmmm............:confused:

I might have to harness up my mini shetlands then :(

Thanks ADZ. Ordered online, now wait for them to arrive. I knew I could rely on this forum and the knowledge of the experts on it.:thumbs The two items, including postage cost to France is less than one item would have cost me in France!!!!

Hi Anyone know if it is possible to buy a clutch cylinder repair kit for a 1997 Maverick 2.7 GLX. :)

I forgot to say that my Maverick is a LHD. Anyway, would you believe that the guy that sold me the car has just turned up with a spare key and fob! Strange, because yesterday he said he didn't have a spare, hmmm......... :confused: Paul

briggie Sorry but 11redrex recommended not to make any suggestions public so, not wanting to upset anyone, I would prefer not to go into detail here but if anyone needs to know I will be more than happy to explain by PM. I would, however, recommend that anyone with just one key goes and gets a...

About me Now my emergency is over, let me introduce myself. My name is Paul and I live with my partner Maria in the Lot-et-Garonne in SW France. We have a smallholding where we breed miniature Shetland ponies. Apart from the ponies we both enjoy fishing (when the opportunity presents itself)...

Latest update: Sincere thanks to everyone who replied to my posting. It has taken about 2 hours but I now have the keys in my hand - and no damage to the vehicle. :thumb2. I won't make that mistake again!!! A bit late I know but may I wish everyone a Very Happy (and hopefully prosperous)...

Hi briggie I was afraid the window suggestion may come up - spares are so expensive here I was hoping to avoid that course of action. It does beg the question though, why did the doors lock in the first place. Have I done something to cause it to happen. Is it because the battery was...

Hello to all I live in SW France and I am new to the 4x4 experience and so far it has not been a good one. I paid 5k euros for a 1997 Maverick last Wednesday 29/12, did a 400km trip to collect some shetland ponies on Friday 31/12, got home switched off the engine and it would not start again...
