I hope you don't mind me joining in on your forum. I am new to Sports Maserati, having just acquired a 4200 about 5 weeks ago(I have a feeling this may be a familiar car to you!). Great fun and so much to learn, including how not to use the handbrake. I have had exactly the same problem as maverick described. Given the awful weather, I haven't used the car for a few days, tried to reverse it out, lots of problems, terrible noises and now the handbrake has pretty much gone slack. I am prepared to have a go at fixing this myself(given the comments above) but I could do with a bit of advice. Where is best place to get parts?, where can I access the 'technical guide' or do I need a service manual, if so where from? Any help/advice very welcome.
Cheers Jon
