    Granturismo / Grancabrio 2018 restyle?

    Hi, Take a look at this seen in Italy - fitted with what looks like Ghibli/Levante Info/Sat Nav. Rumours from the factory suggest it won't be too long before it surfaces. https://youtu.be/v8yE3w00pd4 Still life in a great design. Blu

    Harry does the Levante

    I'd prefer a petrol. Maserati are upping their social media presence. So if you see an ad. on linked in just add a comment that the UK needs a petrol. That's the power of social media - direct customer feedback. Whether they choose to listen is another thing. Blu

    Replacing rear console trim

    Hi Craig, I've done the replacement. You can access the screws that hold some of the trim by levering out the rear vents. This is best done with a trim tool so as not to scratch anything. Then you need to remove the four tunnel bolts. You can just about get to these without taking the seats out...

    My Le Mans Classic Experience

    Hi, Just thought I would post a thumbs up for HR OWEN. On my way to Le Mans I got a TMPS warning on my newly renewed working system. After setting off early to have a leisurely drive through France had to pull over in Kent to investigate at a tyre shop. Turns out I had a hair line crack on...

    Door handle not working

    Hi MIB, I had the same problem - you'll need a new internal door handle for a permanent fix. About £150 from Eurospares or some second hand ones around. If you look on Maseratilife there is a handy pictorial of how to remove the door trim. Relatively easy to do - but I've now done it three...

    My Experience with TPMS

    Hi, Thought I'd post this just in case it helps anyone else out. After a lot of searching there seems to be a lot of mis-information or misunderstanding about the temperamental TPMS. Anyway this worked for me for a 2006 QP. The symptom was an intermittent puncture warning until the tyres...

    Maserati world....

    Regarding your questions: Locking wheel nuts can be specced - although normal not to have any fitted as standard. Spare tyre is an option, car should come with a compressor and can of gunk. Can be bought on EBay - one for a fiat van is exactly the same - I remember paying £27 for the fiat...

    Not so New

    Hi, Yes Sport GT. To anyone considering a QP as family transport I could not recommend it more. To the Duo Select ney sayers I would say drive one with a well set up new clutch! The difference is night and day. Regarding the new QP I expect that in a dark colour it could look quite good. I...

    QP shaky mirror fixed

    Hi, The fix is easy once you get in. You'll need a trim removal tool, a torx head screw driver and a Phillips screw driver. Remove cover nearest headlining with the trim removal tool - just prizes off. Hold base of mirror and push upwards in same plane as the windscreen. It should slide up...
