    Recommendations for a trickle charger

    I bought this one on Amazon late last year and it's been great. Reasonable cable length and clear display. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09M4G38HX Not currently available but might be offered elsewhere.

    Reverse / Automatic mirror adjustment

    Nice one, glad you got it sorted! I need to re-do mine I think, not quite as reliable as I thought it would be (switch was broken so I think it's finally snuffed it). Job for the winter period I think!

    Reverse / Automatic mirror adjustment

    No worries! I would recommend taking care when removing the boot, the clips are plastic and might be at risk of breaking. There could also be oil / grease under there (there was on mine), you might want to protect your interior bits with a bin bag or something. My issue was the switch unit was...

    Reverse / Automatic mirror adjustment

    Just for info, I had an issue with reversing mirror positions and I was able to track it down to a small switch that's pressed when you select the reverse gear (this is in a manual 4200). Symptoms were the mirrors briefly folding down and repositioning, and no reversing lights or sensors. I...

    Plenum & Valve cover refurb

    Looks fantastic, nice work! My valve covers are pretty much perfect all things considered, but there is some paint coming off the plenum on mine. Yours looks fantastic in black, if I get round to a job like that I'd be going down that route!

    4200 gearbox oil query

    Brilliant, thanks all. Was struggling to get the definite answer. I'll probably purchase a new filter, can find the part relatively cheap so might just replace it while someone's in there.

    4200 gearbox oil query

    Thank you! :) Just with regards to the differential / gearbox being separate or serviceable, do you know if it's anything I need to worry about? I'm keen to get all fluids replaced soon, the car was sitting in a garage near enough unused for a few years (minus MOT runs) so wanting to get...

    4200 gearbox oil query

    Hi folks, I can't seem to find a definitive answer for this. I'm getting close to my 4200's 56k miles service and I'm collecting information on things to prepare for. One area I'm struggling in is the differential and gearbox oil. I have located this item, which as far as I know, matches the...

    Manual Gearchange - Gearbox linkage

    Thanks both, that's great. Will probably look to do what Andy's done (maybe without replacing bearings though) and see if it maybe helps. I'll give the switch an inspection too, thanks for clarifying its location. :) With getting the car recently, I'm still getting used to parking it, the...

    Manual Gearchange - Gearbox linkage

    Oops, forgot to add to above. When going into reverse, I've noticed that sometimes the reversing lights don't come on (which means the reversing sensors don't either). I spotted this part below: https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/197710/maserati/980001109/microswitch-kit.html Just in the...

    Manual Gearchange - Gearbox linkage

    Looks fantastic, nice work! My 4200 (manual) can be a bit tough going from first into second sometimes, do you think that a similar job to what you've done would potentially resolve that?

    Sticky buttons sorted today

    Yeah that's the one! It's a handle I've used for quite a while, originated back in the days of enjoying Halo on the Xbox. :)

    Sticky buttons sorted today

    Brilliant, thank you! Will look to get something like that procured. :)

    Sticky buttons sorted today

    Fantastic, that's a brilliant result! Can I ask what paint you used to finish the buttons with? I managed to remove the vent cans yesterday, going to have a good go at getting them scrubbed clean this week. My front middle pair had three clips, was a little fiddly but a screwdriver while...
