    Oil and fuel. Thoughts and opinions

    All gasolines are made to the same international specifications so you just use whatever RON is recommended & ignore the branding & promotion nonsense. Secondly fuel companies share product so what you buy at the pump maybe came from a Shell refinery and was sold to an Exxon outlet, or a BP...

    New O2 sensors fitted recently,so unlikely a problem.

    The dreaded CEL again

    I have a Y2000 3200GT with SD2 diagnostics which is throwing up a CEL. The CEL is not affecting the performance,it's just a nuisance. Both my Unidiag software & a Leonardo tool show no DTC's.

    Oil filter for M139 4.7S Qp

    There's nothing special about this filter. Surely someone can make an adapter plate so we can use any other filter rather than this Maserati ripoff item.

    3200 bought for spares. A good idea?

    New Clutch kit needed

    AFAIK the original ZF clutch kit is still available from clutchpro.com.au,Part No. KMS24001. Back in 2017 the cost was A$1200. On this forum there is a detailed post on strengthening the throwout bearing to prevent it breaking. The clutch which I replaced appears to be still in good condition &...

    3200 throttle body gasket same as volvo unit?

    Mansory MC20

    What a waste of carbon fibre ! It's child-like in my estimation,just put silly bits of bling anywhere you can. I wouldn't mind betting it was done by a Korean,idiocyncratic,is the polite word for weird,senseless,nonfunctional bling for which the Asians are renowned.
