    I'm in need of some advise... I am having a new kitchen fitted. The tap is getting fitted on 30mm worktop, which is on top of a 15mm sink. The tap is a boiling water tap and the two fixing/mounting rods also double as cold water feeds - these are normally solid, but on this tap, they double as...

    GT Front number plate bracket

    A speed bump got the better of my number plate last week. Luckily it was on plastic clips which snapped, rather than damaging the bumper. Can anyone recommend a replacement? I have searched but nothing stands out...

    USB charger

    Since the cig lighter didn't seem to work (and I don't smoke), I changed it to be a USB charger port with battery power display. Works well and looks good. I just need to get a shorter charging cable now.

    SportsItalia

    I just wanted to say if you are unsure about driving down to SportsItalia for a service or work, definitely get down there (borrowing an Alfa from them helps!). They recently did a "major" service on my GT and fixed up a number of other points which needed sorting. With the additional work...

    I bought some spacers as I was debating whether to get the installed when changing tyres and alignment. The cost was £350. In the end I decided to return them. After a week I sent autodoc support a message to ask if they had receive the return parcel. I was told they had not received it, but...

    Extended bolt size for spacers

    Looking at the H&R 17mm spacers, they need extended length bolts. Could someone let me know the specs which would be needed? A fool proof link would be great... I've seen the standard bolts are m14x1.5 22mm for the GranTurismo.

    GT engine oil

    I got a "check engine oil" light come on today, just as I was parking. When I got back in to drive home, the light was off. When I got home, I checked the oil level (engine off, 5 mins after 20 mins driving) - the dip stick looked low, but not concerning (pic below). Should I top-up? What...

    Alignment - South East?

    Can anyone recommend somewhere in the south east (I'm in Surrey) where I can get my GT wheel alignment check/adjusted? The GT will not be going to the same place as my BMW went :rolleyes: I'm looking to swap out the P-Zero tyres soon for a set of PS4s, so it seems like the right thing to do...

    2 questions... Firstly - I saw this thread: ""Cig lighter to USB port" and thought it would be a good idea (and fairly straightforward). Since my cigarette lighter doesn't seem to work I checked the fuse (F44 20amp) but it seems fine visually. Is there anything obvious to check? Secondly -...

    Annual service?

    I got my GT in December 2021 - The last service was May 2021 (Autoshield). Based on Maserati advised service intervals, 2023 would be the next due date, but who does an annual service and what would that cover? My MOT is due in May, so I was thinking getting it over to a specialist around then...
