    GranSport (Fuji White) Running report

    Is a cracking thread. I’ve not been on here for a while but randomly bumped into Matt at the Ace Cafe a week or two back so thought I’d pop by. I’m glad I did! I wish I had the skills (and cajones!) to do what you’re doing. Well done.

    Wanted: OEM indoor car cover for GS

    Hi chaps, Just browsing a few of these ads and thought I’d put a wanted up for an indoor cover. I think I’d prefer OEM with logo etc but opted to other decent alternatives. Please let me know if you think you might have something suitable. Cheers Woody

    Calling Gransport owners - a few questions

    Hi Jeremy, Ive got a double din pop out in my GS. It’s an old one now but it works well and you can tweet the angle of the screen. There’s also a button to tilt it forward for a few seconds if you want to get at the heater controls. It works well, I’d gladly replace with another (with DAB as...

    Some Gransport questions

    And for the record, if I had the means, the one at McGrath’s would be sat beside mine by now.

    Some Gransport questions

    Hi chaps, For those interested, on the UK GranSport Spyder numbers, there were officially 26 cars brought to the UK. As mentioned above, there are fewer than that left now, for certain. Black was the most common colour with 9 being imported, 4 Blu Nettuno’s and a mixture of others including...

    Remote keys not working 2004 GranSport

    Sounds silly but is your car battery alright? I recently noticed my key had recently been a bit temperamental. I had been having battery problems so changed that and the keys now both work beautifully again.

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Burgandy Ghibli in the Marriott Car park in Cardiff this morning. Back 4200 or possibly a GS headed west over the bridge on the M4 near Brizzle. I was going the other way on the M4 so couldn’t see the car clearly.

    First Quattroporte in the UK and possibly the world with Apple car play!

    Pic was taken maybe 7 years go. We lived in the end little white terrace/cottages by the speed bump on RWL, the one that just been extended. Offered on a house up there again last week....then got told we wouldn't get our daughter in to Wood End as being 400m away was too far! It's on my...

    599 lump in a strad or gts

    That surprises me. I recall seeing a 599 GTO crawling around Victoria a few years back (the chap used it as a commuter) and it sounded out of this world. Like an F1 car from a few years back. It wa ps White with a blue strip (5 DSL for the plate spotters here) and from that day forward, it’s...

    First Quattroporte in the UK and possibly the world with Apple car play!

    Randomly, just looking at my profile pic and having just seen your nav on that video, I must have taken that pic just metres from where you live. I was living on RW Lane at the time.

    First Quattroporte in the UK and possibly the world with Apple car play!

    Driving while using your phone? So irresponsible ;) That’s a belting vid, very amusing. What’s the beeping, is that just the park sensors? Overall, it looks superb. Love the idea of having something similar in my GS. Well done for breaking new ground.

    GS - Clutch Replacement - what sort of miles have people got from them?

    I’ll have to read up on the PiS. The clutch is noticeably better at slow speeeds and smoother at changes under mild acceleration... but also feels lazier at engaging, particularly chopping from 1-2-1. I know the pis point was aggressive on the old one so maybe I need to get that adjusted at...

    Battery Charging Socket

    Mine isn’t external but I do have a C-Tek similar to the one in the link. It has an attachment that you fit to the battery and then when you want to plug in, it’s as simple as popping the boot, taking of the removable side panel and connecting. The end of the attachment needs attaching...

    GS - Clutch Replacement - what sort of miles have people got from them?

    98k on one clutch is superb. I seem to recall horror stories of single digit thousands of miles. Good to see decent miles are not exceptional!

    Maseratis - Spotted

    And another in Harpenden, Black Grancabrio MC Sport one (can’t remeber the correct name), the one with MC Strad rear pipes......and again, sounded superb!

    Just To Say Thanks

    Whenever I see questions about Maserati on others forums, I point here, without hesitation. The knowledge is second to none. The culture is the best if any forums (fora?) I belong to. Many years ago, I wanted a Maserati keyring for my GS keys. Parisien posted out a spare he had and asked for...

    GS Gearbox issue - lost 5th and 6th

    Stuck with it! When they work well, they’re good enough to forgive the niggles. That’s annoying though....55% worn and a replacement needed.
