hi everyone just paid the tenner so can finaly post can anyone help when drivin in my mav say about 50/55 mph sometimes the car seems to miss and theres a bit of smoke if i take my foot of the accelrator runs ok the truck only does about 63 mph flat out does this seem right for this truck any help would b great thanks darryl:bow
 
Hi, which model Maverick, the Td or the Tdi with intercooler.
Best regards, Rustic
 
Hi is it a TD or TDi model , my mav TD did this when mini filter was blocked wouldnt rev over 3000 revs and top speed was around 60 ish, there is a guide to cleaning it in quick links, plenty of threads about this on here. As I say though might be this if a TD dont think many of us with TDi's have mini filter. Rich..
 
hi its a td as rich said bout his this sounds like mine wont go above 3000 rpm when the accelarator is held down revs build to about 2200.2500 rpm then puts smoke out the back this is when the car is stationery
 
In this order I would:

Clean mini filter as said.

Replace main fuel filter.

Check for fuel leak and/or heavy corrosion and air leak from fuel pipes over rear axle.

Check boost hoses for splits, replace any crap spring type clips for jubilee type

Link out fuel filter to make sure top hasn't got an airleak.

Egr delete if it has one, same with throttle flap.

If all this is ok, then perhaps replace inlet manifold, and then injector service, and lastly pump service, but hope not as its fooking expensive.
 
thanks guys will have a crack at it at weekend im getting auto hubs tommorow from scrappy as mine are shafted would it b worth stripping or just put them on how do i delete the egr and throttle flap as mr stinka says sorry im bit of a novice. thanks darryl:bow

If you have a look at my recent threads and posts I've described it.

Mine was doing exactly the same when I clogged my fuel filter up with veg oil that I hadn't seen to properly

Do the filter first and if it still plays up, then do the mini filter as that's a ballache of a job

Luckily just fuel filter fixed it for me, phew!!!
 
Are you sure it's the complete auto hubs that's duff? often it's just the "brake ring's". Theres stacks of threads about them, think they're about £50 a side from dealers and they come in pairs (one pair per side).

I'd defo be looking at the mini filter too.

hi jim the passenger side ive stripped bit of copper grease put back on worked then heard snapping sound at the hub wouldnt go in again when in 4 wheel drive driver side brake inside hub part knackered 50 quid for both hubs does that sound to much? any info greatly app thanks darryl
 
hmm sounds like the brake rings on at least one side maybe. Wish I had a good photo of em. Theres loads of posts on here about them with a diagram from the manual on some of them showing an exploded view.

Briggie has a thread running with links to the manual, have a nosey on there.

Also check out the Downloads section within "quicklinks", theres alsorts on there but two workshops for the hubs. One of the workshops is converting to manual hubs. Not always the best solution to change to manuals but worked just fine for me. No more brake rings. They are a great idea when working but mine seemed to give me trouble so did away with them.

Back to the mini filter, needn't be a bear of a job, just need the right tools and it's an easy one.

Get a reasonable socket extension and an extending magnetic pick up thingy - Tesco were selling them for a quid the other week, will get he banjo bolt out and more importantly, back in again without needing to remove anything else.

Once you have the bolt out, you need to go filter diving, mine was a surprising way down in the pump, but others have found theirs inside the bolt itself. I used the metal reinforcing from an old wiper blade with a small hook made at the end to catch the filter. Opinion is divided on what to do with the filter, either bin it or clean it. I dropped mine into the dark recesses and never found it again, so guess which way I went!

My TD was suffering exactly the same problems, really starting to hold back, misfire, etc. etc., one wee filter removed later and easily better than it had ever been for me!

Yep, kinda what I did - more like bounced it off the engine block, rattled out of sight, never been seen since! :D
 
I wrecked mine removing it, it was well and truly stuck in
