Nissan Terrano / Ford Maverick

[Team Japan]

Anyone have any experience of a Terrano/Maverick? My brother's just been offered one cheap as a fixer-upper for off-roading, just wondered if they're any good? It's a '93, swb 2-door with the 2.7 diesel. Anyone know what they have by way of a locking centre diff, or none like the Surf? Any common probs to look out for?

Thanks

Andy

Hi mate..

i will tell you now, if it is a good, solid runner - GET IT!

My mate has the identical Mav, and i promise you, it goes ANYWHERE! all he has done is put some big chunky muds on it, and beats nearly anything. He has pulled me out in my Surf a couple times, we even went on an off roading weekend to south Wales a few wks back, all mega mod'd Landy's, massive wheels, tyres, winches etc... yup, you guessed it, the old Maverick to the rescue again, pulled out a monster 90. he said that is gonna be his FB profile pic for EVER! haha

power to weight ratio is spot on!

Yup...what he said. I was a passenger in a terrano...went bleedin everywhere.

Winner. Thanks very much, I'll let you know if he gets it! It needs a fair bit of welding, but since my brother is a welder by trade, it shouldn't be a problem for him!

If it's that good, I might even get it for myself...

Cheers

Do they have the Isuzu engine?

Nissan engine....... If its a manual, "D21" gearbox, then they're prone to burning out lay gears, and first motion shafts. also 5th gears. They also become noisy due to premature wear on all the g/ box bearings.....Cheers...Mick.

Thanks Mick, that's worth knowing about the gearbox.
