Hi all, not been on here for a long while but I still have my QP. It has sat around a lot over the past couple of years while life got in the way. Often on a trickle charger and started up and moved occasionally. REcently I've decided to get my **** in gear, get it recommissioned, use it for a...

Hi all, not been on here for a long old while but I still have my QP which has continued to enthral and infuriate in equal measure. So far this year it's needed new brakes (thank god for the new pattern discs eurospares are doing), a new PAS radiator (cheap part (£130) but needs the whole front...

Hi all, hope you're well. Can anyone throw any light on this one. My QP has thrown up a fault on e MSP, ABS and the suspension. It's done it sporadically a couple of times and now seems more insistent. I've not noticed any difference in driving it and given it thinks all three are playing up I...

Ok, I'm sure this will have come up before but mine is about to lapse and the underwriters who were insuring my QP on a fleet policy are removing that scheme so I need to change. So, who is good for insurance at the moment? For info, the car is a high days and holiday item doing no more than...

My wheels need a refurb, the front tyres are also on their way out and the TPMS sensors are dying. I'm not to fussed about the TPMS. At a rough guess I'd say a decent refurb plus two front tyres would set me back circa £800. I've spied that someone on ebay is selling a set of identical...

Probably been considered here a million times before but tyres seem to be an ever developing thing. The fronts on my car are not too long for this world. The rears are a healthy set of Conti Sport Contacts (3s I think) and the fronts are an odd mix of a fairly normal p zero and a p zero...

Hello all, not been on here for a short while as I've been busy. Still enjoying the QP. I'm currently considering selling both of my Lotuses and getting just one ing to replace it. I have to test drive a couple of things but currently an Evora of some flavour is winning (yes I am a sucker for...

So, I'm now about a month or so in to my tenure of the QP and am I liking it? Oh yes, very much indeed. It is an incredibly “feel good†car and in a peculiar way it is massively relaxing. Yes you can get a proper move on when you want to but quite a lot of the time when I'm in it I'm happy to...

Ok, sorry to be a pain. I shouldn't sweat the small stuff but this one has wound me up. Tried the washer jets today as the screen was dirty and the driver's side one doesn't work. Water is getting to it but not coming out. Hmmm. Basically it had been turned shut using the little adjuster...

Hi, Despite my car having only done 30k miles both keys (one more than the other) are in a right old state. Which genius thought that painted plastic was a good idea for a key? Is it possible without spending the earth to get a new key body? All the rest of it works fine so I don't need a...

Hi, I've just joined after being pointed here by a chap on another car forum. I've put a post in the newbies section to say hi. I have bought an 05 QP. All is fine except for the CD changer which is being recalcitrant. It was working but was really crackly on the sound. I swapped the discs...

Hi, I was pointed here by a chap on one of my Lotus forums (I have an Exige and an Elan). His name is Marcos over there, not sure if it is the same here. Anyway, I've just bought an 05 Quattroporte and have instantly fallen in love with it. Such an event to be in and drive. Anyway, here...
