Hi, rear seat belt keeps jamming! Is it safe to squirt WD40 or similar inside, or does it need to be stripped apart? Works ok at times and too good a condition to dispose of/replace (unless unsafe to keep) Any advice welcome - Paul

Thanks for the advice. Just to go over again, Starter replaced (Hitachi for a Bosche), ignition switch replaced, power lead from battery to starter replaced, earth-leads checked & cleaned, battery ok. Going to clean inside those ignition connectors (danielj - post). Started ok today 3 - 4...

Hi mickmonk, The switch was replaced last week, so hopefully that will not be the problem! The RAC seemed to think there was a problem in the actual lead from the ignition to the starter. Cheers, Paul

UPDATE - Called out the RAC home service this morning. After well over an hour, isolated the problem to the cable between the Starter Solenoid and the ignition. Only 5v reading initially to this connection. (Black cable with feint white line) Battery, Starter, Earth & Power leads checked & all...

How do you get on the member's map and how can I view it? - Paul (NE37 2EY)

I am not a auto electrician/mechanic, so bear with me!! On turning the key, very slowly or otherwise, there a couple of noticeable 'clicks' but no turnover. Then you can turn it again and it starts as if there was never a problem! Out of my depth with the fuel pump check and glow plugs/relays -...

Ignition Ford Maverick GLX SWB 'L' reg Diesel - Require the contact piece that is at the rear of the ignition, I am told by Zippy & co that this wears in time and this is the cause of all my non-starting problems! Can you help? Is it easier to replace the ignition barrel complete? Cheers - Paul

Can anybody recommend someone to fit my radio & an alarm system into my Maverick in the Washington/Sunderland area?

Re Battery Hi, checked the battery details; Shows - CCA SAE 800 amps AH (20h) 115amps Vapomatic Heavy Duty 30/01/07 date on battery Have taken into account all the other replies, but do you suggest I replace the battery? Cheers, Paul

For some time my Maverick has failed to start due to insufficient charge in the battery. I charge it up and it starts first time, this occurs about every three weeks. I thought it may have been either battery/Alternator/Earth/Starter Motor causing the power drain. I got all these checked by a...

Radio Brackets Hi Elty Thanks for the reply. I think my description is wrong. It is the brackets either side of the radio housing I require {that supports/fixes the radio housing/cage in} Cheers Paul
