I've had a quick look to the broken turbo today (we first sent to a specialist to see if it was refurbisheable), and it has a slight bending in the shaft, so the paddles touched the enclosure and are quite damaged. I don't know the origin of the failure, I had a repair done previously to the car that make to remove the air filters and enclosures, and I've a suspicion that some kind of contamination could have reach the propeller and unbalanced it - but I can't prove it (I've also not seen yet if the failed propeller is in the air inlet side or in the exhaust side). Perhaps the unit had a very slight unbalance, or suffered an abuse (from the previous owner... 
) that ended in that failure, but sincerely I don't know. The car has 56000km, so they are not too much.
Well... the failure showed at low speed, but believe me... the sound was like if I were driving an emergency vehicle!

I've the car since one year ago, and I've not driven it too much (only 4000km). The previous repair was to fix several small coolant losses - one of them in the radiator itself, but was repairable without the need of a new radiator (that was the previous repair I mention). Appart for some electrical gremlins from time to time, that seems not so unusual, no other big problem (fingers crossed... )

I like cars I was in the need to buy a second car (for seldom use and also for pleasure...) and I looked what were available here in the used market, and since I've also an XK8 (now in a dry patch...) I was first looking for a DB7, but they were a bit over the price that I had in mind... so I looked other GTs, and found that 3200GTs fitted my budget. There were some for sale, but most of them of German origin and without any traceability, and I found one that was first sold in Spain with some (not complete, but some) history, so I opted for it. And I like it a lot! Although I also like the XK8 - two quite different GTs

Hi P, I think it may have been Loz that was looking into this, but I do have a clutch I can contribute if helpful?

Just to do a reprise of alternative/OEM "differently " sourced parts - listing by type, co-relating to post number on this thread originally ;
BRAKE PADS
Ferodo Pads ( Sourced in this instance from Bedford Batteries...courtesy of Conaero.....Post #1)
FDB 998 in stock at £33.50 +vat.
FDB 451 Need ordering £24.50 + vat.
Not entirely sure if these are the same, perhaps some clarification - ( Belfast Brakes....courtesy Conaero #30)
SportsMaserti.com proud to announce Belfast Brake discount offer...
I am please to announce that Belfast Brakes and SportsMaserati.com have negotiated a high performance Ferodo/Brembo(Fedral Mogul) deal to our members....( called Greengrippers)
They are a far superior compound than the OEM fit with higher heat dispersal capability to eliminate brake fade, and ultra low dust so ideal for your OEM drilled discs.
The price, inclusive of postage and VAT is £35 per front or rear set. The beauty of Belfast Brakes, is that you can order over the phone by credit card or paypal.
Please do not confuse these with EBC Green Stuff, because that they are not.
http://www.ebrakes.co.uk/
Phone them on 028 90746436...pay by card.
As to speak to Gary...mention this forum ....both sets of greengrippers for £70 plus postage...hoping it aint gone up! Normally £90 .
PS Am also checking up on a further supplier for a full set of fronts and rear pads......£53 incl VAT........3/3/2011
BRAKE DISCS ( Courtesy of Maserati V8.....post......#17 on http://www.sportsmaserati.co.uk/showthread.php/3035-3200-4200-Brake-Discs-a-possible-solution/page2)
As per the post and research done by Maserati V8, these have been exactly match to those fitted to the Ferrari 550 Maranello 1996-2002, both fronts and rears.
These can be sourced from 3 different online suppliers.....(NB One of these suppliers MAY substitute MINTEX made discs instead of BREMBO....PLEASE CLARIFY WITH THEM!!!)
http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/ When I searched for them today ....under their references BDS5670 and BDS5671, they hadn't any in stock, price for both sets £80 incl VAT, not sure about delivery costs.
http://www.apbrakediscs.co.uk/brembo-brake-discs.html?make=8743&model=9225 Hopefully this url takes you straight to the discs in question....price for both sets £353 incl VAT and free UK delivery ( When I ordered off these guys had to wait 3 weeks for the fronts)
http://www.nextdaybrakes.com/files_part-chooser3 Hopefully takes you to the discs in question, no price for the rears...fronts for a pair £247 ( not sure if this includes VAT)
Sometimes one of the companies above apbrakediscs.co.uk auction on ebay.........( old links to fronts and rears below)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Front-Brake-Di...59754696413784
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rear-Brake-Dis...73421015446174
Total for the full set of front and rears....£294!!!!!!!....
NB Please check at all times you are getting the correctly referenced and part numbered BREMBO discs!
HAND BRAKE SHOES ( Belfast Brakes....courtesy Conaero #28)
SportsMaserti.com proud to announce Belfast Brake discount offer...
I am please to announce that Belfast Brakes and SportsMaserati.com have negotiated a handbrake re shoe deal to our members.
The price, inclusive of return postage is £35 to have your old shoes re lined to better than OEM standards.
Additional to this, we have a loan set of old shoes that SportsMaserati.com members can use to save disabling you car during this process.Turnaround it 3-4 days.

TOTAL SAVINGS BY SOURCING THE ABOVE LISTED BRAKE ITEMS = £1243.50
F1 PUMP ( Loz post #3)....
Alfa selespeed pump part no 51736315 £319 plus Vat same as Maserati F1 pump Eurospares £950.00
https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Details&ProdID=3319&sku=9323 ONLY £197 plus VAT - currently..2/3/2011
Alfa cooling fan relay 30 amp £8.40 inc Vat same as Maserati F1 pump relay £35.00 - Relay part no 11130287 £8.40 inc Vat
CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING - 4200 ( Courtesy Emtee...post #105)
Thought you might like to know that Hill Engineering have a clutch release bearing set fitted with OEM seals for the 4200 CC. No cheaper than the OEM but reportedly much better engineered. It's what's now in mine!
http://www.hillengineering.co.uk/cat...ea4b4ac502605b
POLLEN/CABIN FILTER ( Courtesy of Philw696...post # 144)
Definitely the pollen filter is the same....(reference the pollen filter of the 166 being same as that for 4200)
Phil
https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=...7&secondary=50&opts=37&btnViewProducts=Search.....priced at £23.21......versus OEM Maserati/Eurospares £64.34
WIPERBLADES - 3200/4200 ( Courtesy of LeeH...post #126)
Right back from the garage, any excuse to have a peek at those boomerang lights though!!!
I fitted these
http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/product...2-inch-wb5-22/
They are the 22" blade and clear really well. The passenger one does sit off the screen a little right at its furthest
reach when in the parked position, but once you start moving it sits flush against the screen.
They are heaps better than the standard wipers quieter, clear better and look fine.
Hope that helps and at £6.85 plus p&p each they are a bargain.
3200 PARTS ( Courtesy Conaero ....#34)
3200 starter motor:
Valeo: D6RA64 (Peugeot/Citroen/Lancia)
Bosch reconditioned unit part number 0986016530-93N
The only difference is the casting that bolts it to the bell housing. This is easily swapped with the old one by undoing 4 small torx or hexagon keys and takes less than 5 minutes.
£50 plus VAT
FUEL FILTER - 3200 (only?)....(Courtesy JIMDOTCOM...post ....#149)
Another item of interest is the fuel filter on the 3200. This is a standard Bosch part used on various cars including Jags that I've had....(Part no. on the filter is the Bosch Part No.) Works out to about 30% of the Eurospares price when bought from a Bosch supplier.
NEED THIS PART number to compare/price...anyone help?
WHEEL NUTS ( Courtesy of X1ons....post #48)
Get your wheel bolts professionally chromed - forum discount:
http://www.classicsandchrome.co.uk/1.html

I've just had min done and they have done a superb job - very professional.

I will do some more over the next few evenings guys....bear with me..............

Hope I'm not missing something, but it looks like these guys don't offer anything for Maser? Has the link changed or maybe they've stopped doing them?

Thanks Parisien. I was just having a bit of trouble locating the correct item on the site. Would it be these - their generic universal 22" blades? (I think the original link is corrupt somehow.)
