Just a quick note to say that the spyder is now back to full working condition at last!!
After having 2 main dealerships look at the car and 4 give an opinion over the phone they all reached the conclusion that although the car was showing clutch wear at approx 40%,that this figure was incorrect and that the clutch didindeed need replacing after just 15,000 miles.
I decided that i wanted to try Emblem and get them to do the clutch replacement recommended as i was finding the whole "main dealer experience" somewhat lacking.
The maserati dealers didnt exactly do anything wrong (other than unduly cost me money) but they made mistakes that i felt were a little unforgivable.
Anyway to cut a long story short Emblem were never convinced that the clutch was the issue and decided to stand away from the crowd and declaire there independant experienced opinion.
The first removed the F1 actuator as i am told sometimes the bleed screws can vibrate loose a little and this can cause pressure issues. they were fine though.
They then decided to replace the F1 Pump and related works but this was not the fault either.
Lastly they replaced the F1 actuator and this did fix the problem!!
So had i acepted the main dealers diagnosis i would have paid around £3k for a new clutch that was not needed and still have the problem !!!
So In the worth or "currency exchange of maserati garages" One Indy = 2 main dealers and 4 main dealership opinions!!! LOL!
