Thanks guys yes just got some pics of my truck but cannot work out how to add them, help me out! cheers

Hi. Just rejoined after a 2 year lapse. My good old lwb maverick has rusted away after 8 years of service, but I have just collected a nice grey swb maverick with only 89k on the clock and fsh, its mint. I have already put my new set of black steel rims with new general grabber at2 onto it...

Its a bit of a difficult one to work out, as currently the ride is pretty rough and body roll is quite uncomfortable on roundabouts. So i dont want to make it rougher but do need to have a good load capacity at the rear. Thanks for the suggestions I shall look into each.

Hi guys. The ride in my truck is getting rougher and rougher, i think the shocks are goosed. My truck has only done 106k but is a 1998 and i tow alot of trailers. Is there a replacement gas shock set-up anyone knows of. Cheers

Hi there, I get 25mpg on average but tend not to work it out to often as i know its not good and accept it. You truck should pull to 100 without a problem, they fairly shift with foot on the floor. On a long run to devon doing 80-85 i once got 27 average mpg. Cheers

I went to Douglas's Scrapyard just outside carlisle, but there was only one mav and 2 very old terrano so would not bother for a while.

I tow trailers alot with myn so always have tyres at 30 psi. Set of Pirelli scorpion at's lasted 37,000 miles and 2 tyres were not completely nackered even after that. Pressure is to do with what use the vehicle has, if empty all the time psi can be lower but if hitching 2 tonnes to the back...

Ive had my mav for 6 years and 52,000 miles now. I change oil every 5k without fail as engine starts to sound a little rougher after 5k. Diesel oil is nackered after 5k let alone 10k its like water when i drain it. I have just started using a millers diesel oil and the engine is running...

96 Terrano, where abouts in Dumfries are you. I live in Rockcliffe just below the border, if you ever fancy some rare breed pork just call buy cheers

Thanks guys Yes nylon bush had dropped off but oddly it was the ball on the gearstick that was worn so a new bush would not solve this one. Went to the breakers and removed gearstick from a maverick with the nylon bush firmly attached on the end. Mav back on the road again hard at work moving...

Have removed rubber boot. Ball joint doesnt seem to worn and mav has only done 105k. There is some vertical play in the stick and as i say it is really slack. I pressume there is a spring beneath that holds the gearstick in neutral?

What is beyond the ball joint as the gear stick feels like its moving in a ball joint but is really slack beyond. I suppose i should pull the rubber boot off and have a look.

Hi all Have been on a 200 mile round trip with horsebox on the back of my Maverick 2.7td today. As we arrived at our destination the gearstick suddenly went really slack and finding the gears became really difficult. We got home and i have stripped down interior to reveal the top of the...

Thanks will try that tomoz

Hi all My passenger side front hub has quite a bit of play and someone on said I could adjust the play rather than replace the bearings? How do I do this?? Cheers Jeremy

Hi there,welcome, ive only been a member for a few days and have had plenty of useful advice and banter. Enjoy:thumb2

Thanks for that. Not sure if it needs replacing. When we is jacked up it has noticeable amount of play maybe a couple of mm movement. Reason I looked is that im getting a deep knocking noise when I hit any small bump in the road, I thought a ball joint might have gone but they look ok...

Hi all. How do I change the passenger side front wheel bearing on my maverick 2.7td 1998 model? How do I download a manual from here? Cheers Jeremy:thumb2

Hi. I was looking at £1000 maybe not to sure as have a vw lt camper to sell first on ebay, as only have £300 put aside currently. Are you in a hurry to sell? Sounds like the kind of van we were looking for. Got any pics / spec a shower was on the wife's list?? What kind of money were you...

Thanks for all the great replies guys. Yes back to black when I have a moment, although the affect did not last very long last time I did it. Old engine oil put on with a paint brush is quite good to. She has just clicked over 100k but hope for another 100 maybe?
