Thanks to all for your help. I have had brakes apart cleaned the dust out, cleaned wheel cylinders up and greased with rubber grease (I know that you musn't use any other type of grease). I cleaned up, as advised, also adjusted front wheel bearings that seemed OK and they only needed a...

I think I can remember someone telling me on my earlier posts, many months ago, that I should get a S/H laptop so I can plug into my own fault code reader. Do you think if I am keeping this truck I should go this route as it would save me time and if so will i find it easy to use?

Just seen this and if I had known you were going to talk to him you could have asked him if his ABS comes on after 5 miles. he might have known and we all would have gained from this meeting of the Black Pig.:doh

Have not used this Truck for awhile as wife's car is more economical. Now need to get through MOT. Spent few hours scanning through posts but now wondering if anyone can help as can't find same issue. 1. This light will work as it should do when ignition turned on e.g. on/off for a second...

Pleased to meet you Briggie and here is another track for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU

Bit late - just come on site after a long break - work taken up too much time so sorry missed this offer. Have you by any chance got for my Ford Maverick 2.7 TD LWB 5 Door -1997 - 1. Front Bumps stops for offside and nearside. 2. Tow Hitch 3. Roof Bars Thanks for any info.

Just a thought - I have an old JCB which has a control lever on the steering column - with a microswitches. Sometimes I cannot go backwards and forwards. I have found if I spray the micro switches with Force - Electrical Cleaner (has part number X61 500 on bottom of can) this does the trick.

Thanks and you have got it in one - my age! Now where am I????? By the way this lady, could have been my wife, asked me what day of the week it was and I was able to tell her because of the day on my pill box! Soon I will be able to remember what I wanted to ask - in the meantime a Happy...

Me again! I have just found my payment details - nissan 4x4 through Paypal on 10 Aug 2009.

Have not been able to get on here for quite awhile. Now having difficulties it thinks I am not a member. What am I doing wrong - it is flashing up £10 Full Club member - got my Maverick in July last year so will have been just after that period i became a member. So am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for help - so it may not be something going wrong! What is a lacrupade?

By now you will have guessed my holiday has enabled me to find out more about this vehicle. So never having owned one before need to get to know them. So next question: Engine Surging - it is as though the govenor on an old mechanical diesel pump is fluctuating backwards and forwards when...

Thanks - Electrip. Maybe I have been too quick on the switching on/off. Once you are in holiday traffic it is easy to do because you feel such a pratt. Do you think if I take it up the road and stall it, which is easy to do, then SLOWLY switch ignition on and off my light might go out? About...

Seriously though since I bought this truck my wife has noticed, and I have heard it from under the bonnet her side in front, a 'breathing noise' she says it seems to be when I slow down say in traffic or at a bend. Once the 'adjustment?' has completed and takes only maybe a few seconds it...

Maybe you can help with my clutch problems, however, having not owned one before it may be the characteristics of the beast. I have now had a chance to go for a good run in this machine in fact we have just been to North Wales and completed about 850 miles. MPG seemed to work out at an average...

Thanks again for tip. We have just had a terrific down pour and still looks OK.

Just linseed oiled my trim! So as you posted in June how did your experiment go and what can I look forward to????:nenau

lacroupade You had me worried there for a minute - I am not up on all these abreviated words. So now can you tell me what is an i/c? clivvy Why don't they list it as a TDi? Do you know?

Not sure what you mean about 9/10ths law, etc. Purchased Mav at persons house, got receipt and full service record. Surely I am like anyone else who buys a vehicle and signs as new owner and previous owner sends off V5 to DVLA. Will be interested, and I am sure Clivvy will, what you discover...

Lacroupade I do have the intercooler radiator immediately under the bulge. I am waiting for the V5 to come back in my name - but - 1. In Service Guide is written -Model 2.7 TD LEB 2. MOT Certs also have had this listed 2.7. 3. On HPI Check the Model is listed as GLS 2.7 TD LWB and was first...
