Yes Bilstein are refurbing them and they are not handed, so any rear shock will do.

I would as already advised proceed with caution. The pressure sensors are reknowned for producing bad readings and its possible the pop/bang event has damaged the pressure sensor, but it would be a brave person who did not check! The turbo hoses get brittle being so hot so its possible you have...

As far as i know the only way to get replacement key fobs is from Maserati. They have to be coded to the ECU and the immobiliser. There used to be a little company that would do the coding for you and you might still be able to get one of the indy auto alarm people to do the coding, but the keys...

in the 18 years i have had my 3200 i have averaged 3300 miles per year. I got it with 19k on the clock and it now has more or less 80,000 miles on it. Bearing in mind i lived abroad for nearly 3 years in this time and i also had a difficult year when the turbos cratered, i had the year when the...

are you talking about the 4200? Your avatar is a 3200, which does not have a sport mode exhaust? and as for sport suspension separated from sport auto changing most of us a rehappy if it works and wouldnt dream of messing with it, since there are so many issues without causing any new ones :)

I had a contract in China which ran for about 4 years and I visited regularly, and was in Shanghai reasonably recently. I did not have many issues really. I was able to use my phone I seem to remember, might have had a sim added when I got there, not sure. I also did not get ill with water or...

Is it just me or is everything in the news presented as click bait these days? I mean Nickel is used in loads of stuff, added to steel alloys and all that but adding EV to the title makes it click bait and we all get annoyed. Its a shame because every single thing on the internet is creating...

Orignal Turbos are IHI 585360000 3200 RH Turbo IHI part numbers VM38R and VA660054 585360100 3200 LH Turbo IHI part numbers VM39L and VA660055

I am immediately wondering why Maserati didn't do more to contain the heat from the turbos and exhaust? I think the biggest worry here might be the turbos themselves running much hotter because of the extra insulation. I am especially thinking of the effect of the increased temperatures in the...

Couple of pics of the area you are after

The seal might be hard to get. I seem to remember having some difficulty getting one. its a little tricky to remove as its a metal sprung seal and does not come out too easilty, but yes the seal just presses into place its pretty straight forward, once you have the exhaust and prop shaft removed.

I have also come across quite a few contactless conversions where the two signal outputs are wired together. I always restore it to original configuration. There can occasionally be problems with the output matching of the two sensors (presumably what prompts this modification) and this really...

I am only aware of reading generic OBDII codes relating to the gearbox, and not any special or unique ones. I think P0700 rings a bell and related to gearbox control. I have perhaps been lucky but apart from the position sensor on the outside which i had to replace. I have found replacing the...

just out of interest how are you planning to deal with the errors that will come up from all the bits no longer there?

yes which puegot part?
