Hello,
Just thought I'd report my first month, I bought a 2005 red Gransport that was listed on pistonheads.
Reasonable deal at 18k I think.
Lets start with the problems!
Carried out at Shiltech
Power steering hoses leaking caused by bracket at front of engine, both replaced - highlighted at PPI
Handbrake hopeless - new shoes fitted by last owner so adjusted - highlighted at PPI
Oil service
Including the PPI not much change from 1k
Central locking bouncing - lubed passenger door mech and moved anti rattle pad - free thanks sport maserati forum!
Drivers door window dip function fault, goes all the way down - free again! Micro switch sticky
Pollen filter soaked, cleared drain / leaves and replaced with Alfa filter - £17 - again great post from the forum.
Front tyres going down slowly, thought just required re-seal but once deflated found sidewalls all cracked. £340 for new tyres
Jobs left to do
Free up boot lock as key doesn't work
Change gearbox oil / clean filter and air filter replacement
Seats have a mind of their own when tilted
Day out at Bruntingsthorpe
In all nothing to unexpected.
But have a fabulous car that makes you smile just by opening the garage!
Cheers Greg
