Thanks I'll look into it in case the welding option fails.

Hi - does anyone know if there is an alternative part for the drivers side power Window unit. The metal arm on mine has broken and the mechanic is trying to weld it but if that doesn't work its $1600 from OZ or $800 plus shipping plus tax from eurospares. Cheers, Rich

Ok so I did a battery reset and also checked the oil after running the engine for 5 minutes. No unusual noises from the engine but still getting the two warning lights. I did notice the air bubbles and orange tint on the dip stick again, is this usual as I don't remember seeing bubbles on it...

Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I didn't have time to play around before work but I'll do some of the suggestions tonight or tomorrow and see what happens. There are no metallic clanking noises so I hope it's just the sensors or electronics. Rich

Hi Miles - I hadn't used the car for about 3 weeks but usually the pressure was straight up to 5 all the time. Yes that's right the pressure warning light and the dash oil light are coming on with absolutely no reading on the pressure at all (the needle doesn't move). Unfortunately I don't have...

No strange noises with the engine running, although I was only brave enough to let it run for just under a minute. One thing I did notice was bubbles with an orange tint on the dip stick when I checked it straight after it occurred. However since then the oil on the dip stick looked normal...

Hi - last weekend I took the Spyder out for a drive and just after pulling out of the driveway I noticed the oil pressure warning light was on (the Guage was at zero) and the dash oil warning light was also on. I immediately pulled back into the driveway and turned off the engine. I've since...

So after re-reading this and the US forums I noticed some people said to hit the plate behind the drivers seat and some said passenger. I had been on the drivers side but a quick hit to the plate on the passenger side has resulted in a working roof :-) is there likely to be an underlying problem...

Hi - well after 6 months of trouble free ownership since the car arrived here in Oz I have finally got to experience the "Maserati" ownership fun and games. My 2005 Spyder was working like a dream until a couple of weeks ago when on a nice Melbourne spring day in the high 20's I tried to put the...

I dont suppose there is an australian distributer?

Me too - probably have to be $1295 from FD though

Thanks George - I'm looking forward to the next meet, I have so many questions it might have to be a full weekend meet :-)

Hi Richard - would you happen to know if there are any sound clips or videos of the ones Marios supplies? Im after the low, burbling sound rather than the higher pitched "Ferrari or F1" sound?

Thanks everyone - Neil, I believe the vents are part of the Vintage Pack along with the ball polished wheels and a couple of other items.

Well almost 4 months after I decided to buy the car I am happy to say I collected it on Saturday from the compliance workshop and I haven't stopped smiling since! As the Melbourne owners know I didn't sleep a wink on Friday night and was up at 5:30am to head off and collect the car at 7am. I've...
