SOLD to a forum member. Here is my Medterraneo Blu 2006 Gransport. When I bought this in 2013, it was the best one I could find. I looked at several but this one just looked and drove perfect as it emerged from its storage bubble at the back of a well known Didsbury specialist. I'm pretty...

Having worked out that my wife and I have 5 vehicles and 4 buttocks between us, and I spent longer sat on the lawn tractor last year than in the Mas, something has to go. Her Z4M would fly out of the garage, however for some reason she seems to like the hard riding hair trigger throttled...

I just got a new battery and realised that for the last 7 years I've been driving around with no vent pipe. So I got a vent pipe, I can see a 20mm ish hole in the compartment floor it should go into, but this seems to lead to the top of the exhaust heat shield and I can't find a route past it...

For quote a while, the car has had an intermittent battery drain. The battery goes flat over a day or so, and I found that locking it with the key seems to solve it, so assume it is alarm related. I tried measuring parasitic drain with a clamp meter, but need the boot open to do that, which...

I suspect with the influx of discs, people are buying pads. A couple of places are showing 'no stock' but I found a lot of places just don't list pads for the GS. Oddly, if I select the 4200 Coupe then pads are not a problem and are listed, although they deny they fit the GS when I check. The...

I've been playing with the interior light in the Gransport. The buttons didn't work, so one culprit was a failed reading light bulb (I have no spare) but the 'normal' interior light doesn't work on the switch. I dropped the whole unti out, and figured out the connections (I think - does the...

Something that might be of interest to the odd person on here, but the MOT regulations are changing on 20 May. They will include stricter checks on... "Three other areas on cars that have the potential to cause serious accidents are also going to be scrutinised more closely than before...

After nearly 5 years, I'm thinking of having a change. Whilst I enjoy driving the GS, it has stopped feeling as special as it once did and I'm taking the wife's Z4M out in preference. Next month it will disappear into storage, emerging in March/April for tax/MOT/service/Insurance, so I'm...

This has been driving me mad for years, and I've finally remembered to ask. The GS has "hill assist" or "hill hold" however, this always seems to work the wrong way. If I'm facing uphill in reverse gear reversing down the hill (for instance my drive) then the brakes hold for a few seconds...

I foolishly left the car stood for a month with the battery not isolated. On my return it was at 10V. I charged it for 4 hours, the car started and ran OK, but after another 3 weeks (this time with the battery isolated) it wouldn't even turn over - just clicks from the solenoid. The...

The button for the driver's side window on the GS is 'wobbly'. The hinge bit just seems worn and loose, and can't really see how to repair it. It looks like you can only buy the whole control panel at silly money, so does anyone know a similar part that can be used? Failing that I...

I need some front tyres. the current ones are at the wear bars on the inner edges, so I doubt will get us to Spain and back next month. I blame my wife wearing them out at Thruxton. They will be 235/35/19 91Y Pirelli P-Zeros to match the rears. However on Black circles I can find 10...

At the MOT today it was commented that the fromt pads were about 4mm, and slightly thinner on one side than the other. I mentioned that the wife has a trackday booked in a few weeks, and it was suggested getting new pads before then. I've done a search of the forum for pad options, and...

I had the rear tyres replaced today - wear was pretty uniform at 2.4mm left on the outer and 1.8 on the inner, and they tyres were on when i got it 7000 miles ago. I had the geometry checked on a Hunter machine, and it was so way out they removed everything and checked again, and got the...

After talking to a couple of people last weekend - I thought I'd reveal my tip for refitting the interior to the GS. When I took it out to remove the carpets and sound insulation after it got wet, it was easy. unbolt the front seats, unclip the wires, deatbelt holders off carpet trims out...

I'm out "on tour" and when I started the car with the satnav plugged in the power socket lost power, and the mirror motors also stopped moving. The satnav charges fine from the socket in the boot. I'm assuming it is either a connector that supplies all the parts, or a common fuse, but as I...

... but it pours. I've not been on here for a while, tended just to browse anonymously, but just feel the need to vent slightly to some hopefully sympathetic souls who'll all say "no worries mate, they all do that. It will go away when it dries out". After over a year and 5000 miles of...
