You can me to the 3200GT list: Mott The Hoople. Cheers, Steve.

Seconded.

It was s school exchange visit that got horribly out of hand.

No emulsion on the dipstick is there?

No, it's not. The last time I had a car on a loader was back in the 1980s. That was my Thema Turbo - the last Italian car I owned before getting the Maser. Steve.

Yes-----but they're put into the car by Italians (using spaghetti as wiring.)

I live in Uxbridge and find the BBC Weather website is pretty accurate. I'm going for 14-16c and, more importantly, dry. My 3200 is on strike at the moment. Is is socially acceptable to turn up to the pub in a 1997 523i? Steve.

Passenger side.

Yeah, K-seal. I was losing up to a litre very 200 miles but no sign of a leak under pressure testing and a little emulsion on the dipstick. Since putting K-seal in I've had no further symptoms. I know Mike Roberts put it in his car and that's what gave me the confidence to try it. Steve.

Thanks will do. Would anybody like to suggest one? Otherwise I'll just do a search and randomly go for something reasonably cheap. In any case it looks like a trailer ride back to MaseratiShed for me.

Nice tip, thanks Davy.

Yeah, I get a CEL but clear it with the resets. Must get a code reader! TDC sensor might be a good call. I'm reluctant to believe it's TB or PP as they've just been done/checked by Mike. Thanks, Steve.

I have this same problem - but intermittently. I had a throttle body rebuild and the pedal pot checked at MaseratiShed a few weeks before. Problem seems to occur when I drive a few miles, wait 1/2 hour and then try to drive home. Battery reset and throttle reset seem to clear it for a (very)...

Hi Dave, I'm still unsure as I don't have much data to go on. Interest will generally depend on price vs benefit. It's not that I wouldn't be interested, just that I don't know that I will be for sure. For example: if we estimate that we're talking £200 for the bar and 4 hours to fit then we...
