Calling all gen 1 Stradale owners. I am looking at buying a Strad at the moment. I fit the gen 2 seats but how tight are the carbon Gen 1 seats? I am 6 foot and 14.5 stone for refence and my M3 CSL seats were snug.

I recently sold my Mc Shift and I replaced it with a 991 S which is very capable but soulless car. I am now in the hunt for a 4 seater Strad. I am aware of the cars that are for sale on Pistonheads and Autotrader and I went to see the Strad at Newcastle Aston Martin today. Unfortunately it...

Does anyone know the part code number for the 4 lambda sensors on a Granturismo? It's replacement time and I know the sensors are approx. £120 each

I have owned my 2011 GTS MC Shift now for a couple of years and I was considering upgrading to the 2013 onwards Sport but I love the Mc Shift and later models are scarce and very expensive for very little benefit. I prefer the look of the later front end hence the desire to change. On...

Hi After much searching I finally found a quality set of locking nuts that actually fit ie M14 1.5 with a 50mm shaft. They are made by O.Z racing (as in the alloy wheel brand) and can be found on ebay. Carl

The check engine light is virtually on perminantly on my Granturismo. The fuel cap was loose so I filled up and the duck taped it in place to see if I could get the light to go out. This didn't solve the problem so I bought an OBDII bluetooth device together with the Torque app for my phone...

I recently purchased a Quattroporte 2009/59 plate 4.7s to return back to the Maserati fold after selling my Gransport a couple of years ago. At the time of the purchase of the QP I also owned a Caterham R600. I have since sold the R600 and I need something in between a QP and Caterham so I am...

Unfortunately the N+1 policy that I apply to bikes doesn't wash with the misses when it comes to cars. Therefore my XFR needs to make way for my Quattroporte which should be gracing my drive in the next couple of weeks. The XFR has been an epic car. Docile when you want her to be the...

I am in the process of swapping to 4.7 GTS alloys on my Quattroporte and have a set of the standard 20 inch wheels available with tyres. Wheels are silver and each have some curbing on them but not too bad. The edges could be refurbed instead of a full powder coating if necessary. 3-4 mm...

I am in the process of buying a 2009 Quattroporte automatic and the inspection report has noted the common variator rattle on start up. The car has 46k on the clock. I have heard that having the cam caps modified to include a check valve to stop the oil returning to the sump is a solution...

Does anyone know how to retain the exhaust valves in non sport mode yet with the suspension and gearbox set to sport mode. I have fitted an x pipe and its perfect for me now on non sport. Much better than sport mode with the resonator x pipe in place. I am running larini manifolds and sport...

I have just bought a Larini x pipe and set about trying to fitting it today. All of the clamps on the standard resonator box loosened up nicely. I thought that it would be simply the case of wiggling the old box forward and then out but it will only slide of forward about an inch. Anyone...

06 56 Maserati Gransport in beautiful condition 23k miles Full Main Dealer Maserati Service History. Just undergone a major service at Benfield Maserati. New clutch fitted last year at 21k miles New MOT Just taxed Specification includes: New Larini Exhaust manifolds. Beautifully made...

Was going to have some fun in the work car park tonight but holding the MSP button didn't activate the warning light on the dash. Therefore I don't think the system disengaged the traction control. The cold weather warning was flashing next to the gear indicator. If the temperature falls...

I am looking to increase the volume from my Gransport and wondered whether anyone had modified their exisiting gransport rear boxes by opening them up and removing some of the internals. I already have a Larini manifold and sports cats. I have heard that removing the centre section can...

Just got my car back from Larini after having their new exhaust manifold fitted. Wow, what a difference this has made to the car. It is now on its toes immediately with much faster throttle response. Not too much difference in noise although the car now howls more like a F430. The...

My car is trying to pull away in first gear without using the throttle. It idles at 800rpm in neutral but seems to be idling between 1000-1500 in first gear hence it is trying to engage first. The revs seem to rise more when changing gear. It's only started doing this from yesterday. The...

I am still thinking about replacing the secondary cats on my Gransport with decat pipes. I wondered whether the larini decat boys had experienced any issues when informing your insurance company?

Looking for a Larini X pipe to fit Gransport. Cheers Carl

Just wondering if anyone has tried modifiying their existing Gransport exhaust by removing the restrictive flattened section under the rail with a similar dual pipe set up like larini. Modifying the exhaust looks pretty straightforward. I also wondered whether anyone has removed the inners...
