Failed MOT on headlamp last week, but found a thread on here giving me enough confidence to whip the wheel off and the front wheel arch liner. Now passed. Off to Marios next month for a service and little bit of fettling...

Lovely SZ in the pub car park at a recent 5 mile road running race... Would certainly have 1 in my lottery dream garage!

I got mine this summer, I couldn't stretch to a fully sorted one, but managed to find a 1 owner car that just needs a bit of TLC. It's mechanically sound, interior is in great condition now I've replaced a few trim bits and ultimately will get a full body respray due to most panels being a...

I had to change all 4 of my tyres last month and went for Goodyear F1 Asy 5. 4 fully fitted for under £500 with an offer at ATS euromaster. They get just as good reviews on various forums as the Michelin PS4 tyre. The PS4S isn't available for the rears or I might have gone for them.

133 is just for the non AC 3200 Auto. Overall there are 277 registered and 284 SORN (https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/family/maserati_3200) 2019 Q3 was the last time more were licensed overall than SORN'd. I suspect that a lot of the SORN'd cars wont be economical to get back on the road. Mine was...

Hi Marios, It won't start even when the fans have stopped. But I am measuring 1177 Ohms on the sensor and it should be 650. I can also get a 1mm feeler gauge through the gap, and should be 0.6. I have had to pause on changing the probe for now because none of my tools can access the cap-headed...

I've just been out in to my garage and started the car 1st time. Ran it for 30mins to get up to temperature with no issues. Turned it off and waited a couple of minutes, then tried to restart it a few times and it wouldn't fire. Left it 20 mins or so and it started fine again. Waited for it...

No spluttering, just stopped. And when I tried to start it it turns over fine but at the point it should fire and catch there is nothing.

While checking the plugs all looked ok for the sensors I did notice a rubber tube under the throttle body thats not connected at one end... It comes from the top of a small block to the left of the throttle body and then just ends after 8" or so... is this normal? Thanks for all the...

Thats Gemini's engine bay in the photo up there! No other error codes were stored, but i'm going to run it up to temperature later to see what happens when its hot.

Thanks for your advice Mario's and Davy. The car does start and run now, but I haven't run it long enough to get up to temperature to see if that's when it cuts out. Have you any other ideas Mario's that are easy to check at home?

Thanks Gemini, that a great write up. Just need to wait for the postman to bring my sensor now. This forum is a great help with these temperamental beauties. J

Thanks Gemini, thats exactly the same sympoms as I am seeing. For £20 I'll get one ordered up. In your photo there seems to be a lot more space to work than I've got! Did you remove bits to get access to it? J

Thanks for the replies :) . Do you mean to just check the plugs are on properly on parts 2 and 3 on this drawing? John

Hello all, I am looking for some help on things I can check regarding my engine not starting/cutting out. For a bit of background my car was parked up in my garage for 3 1/2 years while I was working away, then sent to Marios for recommisioning. A month after I picked it up I put it in to...

Hi Hunta, probably too late for you but I've just fitted these to my 3200... https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/bosch-super-plus-universal-wiper-blade-set-sp22-22s-with-spoiler-on-rh-side-485440200 Not tested in the rain, but work perfectly with the wash-wipe... Note, if you do a number plate or...

+1 For the CTEK. I have been storing my car for 2 years now, it's been left in neutral on tyre savers, fuel stabiliser added to a full tank of Shell V-power, and a couple of trays of dessicsant in the footrwells. I start it up once every 3 months now and it fires up first time. My garage is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-uDw3JvMtk Idling with Larini back boxes. I'll never tire of that sound :-)

I brimmed the tank with Shell V-Power Super Unleaded, then poured some Ethanol Shield Fuel Stabiliser in and drove about 20 miles to pull a gallon through the pipes bnefore I parked it up. Judging by how keen the car was to start I don't think it's gone off yet! I'll give gorilla glue a go...

It's not insured for road use, not taxed and not MOT'd, so using it on the road isn't possible. When I'm home it's not really for long enough that I want to use up 2 days of my leave taking it to Autoshield and then picking it up again so i took the decision to garage it. The money I'm saving...
