    Battery failure

    Thinking about what the cause of a drain might be. I remember that the car is fitted with a tracker device. I haven't tried to activate it since my ownership - now well over a year, but I remember that these do become issues. Is this the likely culprit. I presume I can ask my local dealer to...

    Battery failure

    AA came to the rescue today. Young fella but really good. He felt that there was a problem with the battery management system that was causing problems on long journeys. He didn't want to just replace the battery as he felt this would mask the underlying issue. So it looks like I need to get it...

    Battery failure

    Thanks. I just thought that I would take a look at the battery and found out that I can't actually access the boot. The electrics are dead. What is the emergency access procedure to gain entry to the boot?

    Battery failure

    Help needed please. About 2 months ago all the lights on the dash started going mad when I tried to start the car. I called the AA rescue to attend to my 2014 Ghibli. They said it was a battery total discharge. Weren't able to do much in the way of getting it going or any diagnosis, but...

    Maserati Ghibli 2014 - reversing camera fault

    The problem is that the shot of the number plate/bumper conceals the critical view when reversing as it hides the distance to the object behind! Instead of a series of broken red lines leading to the rear view obstacle – this is now replaced with a fixed view of the number plate/bumper? This is...

    Maserati Ghibli 2014 - reversing camera fault

    Anybody know what might have caused the bottom half of the view on my reversing camera to have become mis-aligned. Maserati dealer suggested a "problem with the early model cars - that has been corrected with later models". It was returned to me not fixed! I suggest this is a fault and not a...

    Sterling Vs Euro

    I have just bought £1m in forward contracts at equal £250k tranches for drawdown over the next four months at average rate 1.113709 to Euro in order to hedge the company's trading position. I believe the downside risk of stlg falling lower outweighs the upside gain opportunity. I hope I'm right!

    First Service and Geometry

    Your thread has been really useful for me. I just phoned a Maserati dealer and told him about the uncomfortable noises from one side of my front suspension when going over speed bumps; allied to the uneven wear on the tyres; allied to the poor geometry readings when I replaced the rear tyres. He...

    First Service and Geometry

    When I drive my Ghibli over speed bumps - the nsf seems to hit the ground with a loud thump. Were these symptoms that you also noticed? Bouncing the car on level ground though doesn't give any indication of any problem. Allied to the uneven tyre wear on the front and rear tyres; plus the...

    First Service and Geometry

    Hi Mr MickS, I was interested to see your post and would be grateful if you could PM me the advice that you received from Maserati dealer regarding changing the springs under warranty to correct geometry problem. I have a 2yr old Ghibli with 20k miles and unevenly worn tyres. I posted a seperate...
