Greetings and salutations =)

G'day fellow members...
I've just picked up an 88 Ford Maverick (which has been de-badged) Think it has the 4.2 litre straight 6 with a manual tranny (don't like autos much). Its extremely sluggish though, there is a fairly steep hill near me and I have to drop it into 3rd just to keep the momentum going.
She's running on 33:s and I need to put on some fender flares as the tyres stick outside of the body so I'll go get some from Clarke Rubber. She came with a beefy warn winch on a mad bullbar and the rear bar is awesome.
As for me I now live in Melbourne (near the airport) and my favorite sites to go wheeling are Toolangi, Lerderberg and Wombat.
This is approximately my 115th vehicle!

It doesn't seem to have a diff lock though?
How do you tell if you have an LSD?

Anyway 24 more posts and I can download the workshop manual, yippee.

Finally does anyone know where I can find the owners manual to download? I'm Scottish born and bred and you all know how tight we are haha so am looking for a freebie.

Cheers and awrabest
Dave

I didn't get a notification that I had replies, I just happened to log on here and take a look-see so thanks to all for the greetings.

This is my 1st 4by of this particular make - I've had Land Rovers, Range Rovers, Pajeros, F100 4x4, F150 4x4, Chevy Blazer S10 and my favourite Bronco in the past.
However mine is so slow at acceleration I get overtaken by cyclists. It has a reco'd carb on her and was conking out all the time on me so I had a local garage look into the carby for me.
They fixed it ($150 ouch!!) and she runs nice now, just still so slow. I found out that it only has a 73l fuel tank as well.
