Ok so leaking flexi and seized brake pipes finally sorted!! Phoned Ford this morning to see if they just supplied the unions as I had pipes made up already but they had tapered unoins on the ends that go into the flexi block, and as the thread is very shallow on the flexi, the tapered ones do...

Been to two in Coventry today and no joy they dont seem to have the correct fittings!! they have the ones that go into the cylinder in drum but not the ones that fit the flexi.."Main dealer only" was the answer!!!

Can anybody tell me where i might get the rear brake pipes made up for my Maverick? 1994 SWB, its the rears from drums to centre flexi? I went to get some made up today but they dont have the right connectors!! I had to change the flexi as it was leaking and brake pipes were seized so had to...

Cheers Rustic, hadnt been losing much water but had to top up once a fortnight, but were no signs of leakage even in morning or anything, but noise is recent ie last few days! I must tell you that my wife uses the mav mostly and never tells me of any problems etc until I drive it at the...

Ok Guys been out to Mav this morning and pretty sure the noise is water pump!! belts seem ok. got my son to rev it whilst i listened and deffinately at front and deffinately not alternator as noise is central ish but I know noises can be deceptive. Been using a bit of water recently so maybe...

She is on 135k now but had full new exhaust for MOT last september and all looks good, but wouldnt rule it out and is under warranty too!!

Its due a oil change, but put a new air filter in about 6 weeks ago when I also changed the fuel filter and cleaned mini filter. When its making the noise it happens when accelerating more but at steady speed is still there but not as noticeable!! When i was stationary a couple of times in...

Err dunno if this is a strange one or not?? The last couple of days there is a loud whining noise,gets louder with more acceleration. I'm presuming its turbo whine but how serious is it? Sometimes there sometimes not, 38 mile round trip this morning wasnt there for first 30 miles then very loud...

Thanks for the advice so far but does this switch need to be off a terrano or maverick as only one breakers anywhere near me in Coventry and no terranos or Mavs? Cheers Rich

Hi all the ignition switch has finally gone on my Maverick!! wont even start with a bit of key wiggling as it has for a while now. Is there a guide for replacement anywhere and can anybody tell me where to get one from and how much it's likely to cost?? Its a 1994 2.7td Cheers Rich..

Thanks for the replies guys!! took it 50 miles on M6 today didnt miss a beat and didnt attempt to stall at all even when the traffic was slow at B'HAM turn off, quite nippy too and great on fuel, will still post pics up of plugs i changed when iv'e got to grips with photobucket!! :)

Yeah it's the 16v engine, So a good blast up M6 may cure it then?? lol

ok will do that tomorrow, just been on a 10 mile round trip and didnt miss a beat!! but pulled into my street and nearly stopped and then hesitates on throttle...:nenau

Hi just read through all the replies, Its not a manual choke just that when its cold and the auto choke is on its fine , ive run about in it today and it didnt cut out as much but does hesitate on the throttle when warm!! Changed plugs and air filter today too but not made much difference if any...

Hi Jim, no lights dislaying till it cuts out then just battery and engine lights, fires back up, but having to use handbrake to stop/slow down as need to keep revs up to stop it cutting out..lol
