Hi, Just a quick tip. When removing doorpost trims you have to remove the upper seatbelt mounting. This involves popping open the nut cover. From experience these are very easy to snap off. Replacement part from Eurospares No. 67418700 £7.68 +vat+p/p (about £12 each ) My tip is - go to your...

Hi, Having gone boggle eyed trying to follow the Italian diagrams I have come up with this guide for how the electric windows operate. Although I’m not Italian I’m pretty sure I’ve near enough sussed it out. It should apply equally to the 3200 and the 4200. Any reference to wiring...

Being a naughty boy I was checking out the other channel, Someone was enquiring about where to buy a sim card holder to fit the 4200 phone slot. These cost £25 from euro but this is the reply I posted to him. (Although the simcard holder looks special there is no need to buy one. If you get...

4200 Starter motor overhaul. If you start to hear a click-click sound from your starter without it turning the engine over, it's telling you that the solenoid contacts are on the way out. Or if like me the horrible noise of the starter cog not returning properly again means it's time for an...

4200 Exhaust manifold removal If you require access to either the Air Con compressor or the Starter motor, you will need to remove the engine heat shield and the only way to do this is firstly to remove the exhaust manifolds. Definitely a pig of a job so you will be relieved to know that you...

4200 Front Pipes/Cat Removal A few jobs on the car may involve the removal of the front exhaust pipes which consist of the Catalytic converters. Their removal is pretty straight forward. First job is to give all the nuts and bolts a squirt of WD40 / Plus Gas or whatever; this is preferably...

Hi all, Comming home last night developed a distinctly agricultural noise form my car. Backed into garage noise stopped? Could only get a trace if blipping throttle hard. Anyway got under this morning hoping to find something loose to no avail. Started her up and she was quiet as a mouse ...

HI Does any one have an old key for a 4200 for sale? I only have one key and the button rubber parts are disintegrating, probably due to a trip through the washing machine. But that's another story! Keith

A new italian Police car and the result of the first night on patrol. Ouch! Nothing more to say is there?

I have read a few horror stories regarding the state of a 4200 Air Filter. These are a pain to change, involving removal of the wheel and arch liner, therefore they tend to be forgotten about and sometimes omitted at service time. This is often evident when the owner comes to change it I...

Do any of you guys own one of these modest car homes???? no? Me neither Keith

AUXILLIARY DRIVE BELT CHANGE ON MASERATI 4200 Having purchased an auxiliary drive belt as part of a service kit last year, which included an air filter, oil filter and belt for £70 from euro-spares, saving about £30 on buying these separately. I thought it about time it was fitted. The belt...

REAR SEAT SQUAB REMOVAL Just for Conaero. You can pull and push till doomsday and not get the squab catches to disengage. You need one of these pry bars £3.69 from your local Screw-Fix or £5 from B&Q Feel along the squab bottom and about 4 inches ( 100mm) in you will feel...

FRONT SEAT REMOVAL My driver's seat has always seemed pedestrian compared to the passenger's seat. So I decided to investigate. Various jobs could mean the removal of either front seat, this may sound a daunting task but is actual very simple and your seat could be out in less than ten...

Hi All, I am well chuffed with myself, as I have just manged to upload my first posting to the Technical Fixes section complete with loads of pics. Following Conaero instructions it was quite straight forward. Only had to faff about resizing the pictures a bit so as not to exeed the 2Mb...

DASH TOP AND INSTRUMENT REMOVAL for dash lamp replacement. Although the difficulty level is pretty low this is not a job for the faint hearted due to the poor access for screw removal. The hands of a 10yr old Japanese girl would be a great advantage and you will want to smash the screen...

Hi all, I was introduced to this forum by Conearo , when he asked if he could use an article I'd posted on a rival forum concerning handbrake adjustment. I say rival forum but this reminds me of the time concerns were raised by “The Jaguar Drivers Club†I think it was in the late 70's or...
