So, those diagnostic testers don’t give a specific code for say n/s front wheel? If not, what do you do? Buy a new one and connect it at each wheel and see where the fault clears?

So most repair shops ought to have some suitable ABS diagnostics to hand for a 4200?

Asking for a friend: Using a basic OBD2 fault code reader is it possible to tell which wheel has a faulty ABS sensor? Or can this level of diagnostic only be achieved with a Maserati system? A friend of mine has IMHO been ripped off by his local garage who seem to have guessed where the problem...

Yeah … if you’re feeling lucky it could be one to go for(?)!

In my experience with a 3200 - using a reputable independent for major service items and doing other interim servicing / repairs myself - over 2 years and 7k miles of ownership allow £2.5k per annum … for servicing and parts only. All other expenses such as road tax, fuel, insurance and...

What’s wrong with it? That’s getting near scrap value!

It was mostly dry today apart from a few April showers so I went for a seat of the pants drive!

… at 20% of the price?

Yes, I think it is ... this one, which is lower mileage, just went for £11,200 incl. fees: https://auctions.doreandrees.com/catalogue/lot/15b0f04d5ed28983ea10fc8c8068d4f3/ad74375b82a358e6eef0ce537def266d/classic-cars-the-spring-auction-lot-14/

I think it maybe starting to creep up on us already, which would go some way towards explaining current price trends / difficulties in selling … It’s a result of the growth in “environmental awareness” and the changing public mindset towards hydrocarbon fuelled vehicles.

Another SUV from Alfa; I suppose they think that's where the money is(?). Pity! At least they tried to put some boomerang like lights on the back and the Sabelt seats look good. Be interesting to see it in the flesh and some test drive reviews.

I think the values of classic / collectors cars have been pushed up and held up by people moving towards and into retirement, who now have the wealth to bid up the price of that "Ford Capri" they lusted after in their youth but couldn't afford back in the day! As cars become more vintage they...

I’ve been asking myself that question for a year, with my 3200 … They do seem to sell at auction though, so that maybe something to try(?). I’m considering it myself.

Going to be launched on 13th June at Le Mans. Goes like a go-kart:

Yes, they did sell out, although that was unlikely to be at a profit given the costs of bringing a new car to market. I reckon that marketing exercise - if that’s what it was - cost them dearly as it doesn’t seem to have promoted sales from what you are saying. Anything like an improved 4C in...

The development and production set up costs for new models are probably too high for 'low volume' to be economically viable, to get pay back ...

Unlikely I will be going now as the strong wind forecast for Saturday will disrupt the car ferry service across the Solent, even if I could now get a ticket at a reasonable price …

Yes, I put up a post about this yesterday as many events are being cancelled due to the state of the ground being sodden. What is the state of the ground at the Departure Lounge given that we park up on the field?

Alexander Technique is something to consider, it could help (it helped me). There’s a simple lying down exercise you can do that gets things back into proper alignment using nothing more than gravity … check it out! You do need to find a qualified tutor though.

With so many events being cancelled due to sodden ground conditions, has anyone heard anything about the Departure Lounge meet on Saturday? I doubt the field we normally park on will be that great and there’s more rain forecast over the next few days, although Saturday does look dry …
