Well end of an era for me personally. Have been a member of this club for over twenty years, best part of a year under it’s first forum template before this one. Had good times and bad times and a lot of water under the bridge. Saved a fortune in repairs thanks to this club. Made a lot of...

Well today has marked the end of an era for me, my foray into Terrano ownership has ended. Had 4 Terranos over the years and most recently Rustics old Maverick. The Maverick was collected by its new owner today. I’ve got mixed emotions and know that I will miss the Maverick but the truth is...

Has anyone ever used Lanoguard before? I bought some to protect the Maverick, jury still out on the stuff. It’s certainly easy to apply and hopefully being a natural product it should be easy to clean off places that I don’t want it like the driveway. One thing I do know about it, it bloody...

Well the Maverick has done it again at 28 years old. Passed MOT first time with no advisories. Besides a service all she needed was a set of pads. I reckon Rustic would be as pleased as punch at that result. Now to make the decision to sell or not, one thing for sure all the politicians will...

I’ve got a decent pair of front wings for sale, one was from an old Maverick so has a hole for an aerial. Fit pre 2000 models without the indicator next to the headlights. £100 for the pair.

Would any club members be interested in buying Rustics old Maverick? I won’t go into details but long term members on here will know what a fantastic example this truck is. PM me or reply on here if you’re interested. Cheers

Hi All, it’s finally time to say goodbye to my old project truck. It failed its MOT back in January 2022 and has been under my car port ever since. We started repairs and fitting 100mm square box section as a replacement sill on the drivers side but that’s as far as I got as it’s too much for...

I cannot believe that I have managed to find a box of 15 brand new Sparkrite Alarm Fob Cases. I cannot remember the last time I saw Sparkrite kit out there, I think it was Halfords that used to sell that brand. When I picked up the Mav back in 2019 the alarm fobs had seen better days and I...

Had a little trip away in the camper last week to the Outer Hebrides. Unfortunately too far to go in the Mav so slumbed it in the camper. We went up to Lewis and Harris and then on to Skye on the way back. Turned out that the ferry was changed outward bound to sail from Ullapool rather than Uig...

Can anyone tell me what type of power steering fluid the Maverick uses please. Cheers

Well it’s looking like we might actually get a dumping of snow for pretty much most of tomorrow. Question is dare I take the driveway queen out for a drive around and expose her to the salt:eek: I reckon if I do it’ll need hosing off at the weekend :nenau

Well back in October when the roads started to get salted I took the Maverick off the road and disconnected the batteries. Only gave the batteries a top up charge over Christmas and that’s all that has happened. Been kept under thecar port blocked in by other family vehicles. Today I decided to...

Well this last couple of days has been quite stressful and difficult, it’s made me take a step back and think that I’m starting to become Victor Meldrew. It appears I expect far too much from businesses I have dealings with. Yesterday evening myself and two friends decided to go to a local Fish...

Happy new year you bunch of scallywags, all the very best for 2023.

Hi all, Happy Christmas to you all.

Hi all, my mother in law has a dripping tap and has asked me to take care of it. I have managed to get the tap handles off, one of the spikes unscrews and allows the handle to pull off the splines. Unfortunately this still doesn’t give access to the cartridge. I can only think that some how the...

This might be one for Rick but happy to take advice off anyone. My living room has 3 outside walls, the outer skin of the house is stone and the inner skin is breeze block. The house was built in 1969 and at some point one of the owners had cavity wall insulation installed, it’s a kind of foam...

Ever since I got the Maverick I’ve known that the steering is on the heavy side compared to previous Terranos that I’ve had. It’s only at slow speeds and is fine once moving but of course it would be. The belt doesn’t squeal and the fluid seems clean enough and doesn’t smell burnt in the...

At what point does a vehicle become a “Classic Car”? I know that at theage of 40 years old as they are then classed as a historic vehicle as they can be MOT exempt depending upon any modifications and also tax exempt. Then another aspect is peoples opinions, that can and does vary significantly...

Sorry guys not Terrano related but my camper related. I’m fitting a mains kit to the camper project. What are peoples opinions on earthing the body of the vehicle to the mains kit. Out there on internet land there’s different advice for earthing to the vehicle or not. My first thoughts were to...
