    power Window unit

    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

    help - oil pressure Guage at 0 and oil warning light on??

    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...

    Not another Spyder with roof issues - afraid so

    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...

    It's finally arrived!!!! :-)

    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...

    how big/heavy are tubi rear boxes?

    Hi - I just wondered if anyone could tell me what size and approx weight tubi back boxes for a spyder would be? The reason I ask is that they cost around $3500 here in Oz but I have seen them for £1700 ($2700) in the UK so wondering about either bringing them back with me on the plane or...

    Interesting Rental Cars...?

    So whilst my Spyder is in the final stages of compliance over here in Melbourne, I have turned my focus to my upcoming trip back to the UK in early September. I will be doing a fair bit of driving whilst I am there (London, Manchester, Hull, Leeds and back down to London) so I want to hire...

    Speedometer Decals - is Vintage Pack the same as Gransport?

    I'm hoping someone with a Gransport can confirm whether the speedometer decal is the same as that of my Spyder with Vintage pack (attached). I want to make sure the compliance company use the same colours to match the existing ones and they said from the photo it looks like the same one used on...

    A couple of questions - new car related

    Hi - with only 44 days until the car arrives in Oz (she is hopefully sitting at Southampton docks right now) I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. - Sat Nav: Can I purchase Australian map CD's to use as I assume the car will only have UK ones (it's a 4200 Spyder on...

    Greetings from Oz!

    Although I have posted once or twice I thought now would be an appropriate time to introduce myself as I have just placed a deposit on a 2005 Spyder with Vintage pack and the remaining money is somewhere between the Australian and UK banking system :-) I live in a small village about an hour...

    Nero V's Nero Carbonio

    Hi - I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months now and hoping to enter the world of Maserati ownership very soon after 12 months of searching for the right car! I do have a question though and it may sound dumb but can someone confirm that the exterior colours "Nero" and "Nero...
