    Does anyone have a part number for a GC Centennial Xenon light ballast ?

    As per the title, I'm after the number on the sticker or stamped on the case, not the official Maserati number. I think it's 1 307 329 127 but wanted to check before placing an order as the web is throwing up a few different numbers. Mine is showing the error message on the dash so want to...

    As per the title, we are considering a trip to Puglia next year, maybe driving. 2 weeks there and back in July/August. We'd be staying around Lecce probably, so the big question is how quickly can I get down there, no answers on it depends on how heavy the right foot is please!. It needs to be...

    A little quiz

    In the absence of the daily quiz ( who remembers that,,,,) here's a little something to get you guessing. The winner gets to feel all warm and secure in the knowledge that they're correct - although that's a default setting for a few already. Anyhow... My Vodaphone tracker needed some repairs, a...

    Ghost immobiliser

    Does anyone have any comments or experience of the above? Not for a Masser, that level of electronic sophistication isn't required with a good old fashioned key.

    Maserati dealers - heaven help us

    Up until recently I'd always thought the main dealers I'd dealt with had a good handle on customer service and the rest. After this mornings visit I'm not too sure, but worse still was the the overall attitude in the dealers as I sat there observing ( This is a shared dealership with Lambo)...

    Does anyone have or has had a Merc cabriolet?

    Looking at a E53 or 450 Cabriolet and seeing a couple over the weekend, but wondered if anyone on here has experience of them and would share? The wild card is another Audi S5 cabriolet as the good lady loved hers and would have another, although Audi stopped production in 2018 there are a few...

    Spare wheel location

    Does anyone actually have the Maserati spare wheel in a Grancabrio? Having tripped over it once too often, the good lady has finally given me an ultimatum, put it in the car or sell it. Looking at my boot I can't see anywhere obvious other than the location that seems to be full of tracker bits...

    Fitting a new accelerator pedal unit - simple swap?

    A question for the mechanics amongst us. I have sourced an MC accelerator pedal, so can now finally remove the old 'dimpled' one which never matched. Looking at the schematics it looks like its a few bolts and a plug - is it as simple as that or will it need something resetting? A job for a...

    Bonnet Catch on Carbon bonnet

    I've been cleaning the engine bay today and noticed that the bonnet catch ( on the bonnet now, not the receiver ) is starting to show signs of rust. It has a few torx screws in it, so I thought I'd perhaps take it off and refurbish. Looking at the parts catalogues though, it appears that the...

    Motorline Kent closed for good

    Looks like another dealer has gone - there's an announcement on their webpage to say they closed on 23rd December. All servicing and warranty work goes elsewhere from what I read.

    Boot opening

    Can anyone tell me if the boot should open more than just a short crack when I press the remote opening on a GC? All the other cars I have now have fully opening boots from the remote so I've been pondering this over the weekend. I can't remember it ever doing it, but that's not to say it didn't...

    Limp home mode

    We took the motor out for its 1st proper outing today, obviously to get essential supplies, I just happened to need a supermarket a decent distance from home. All good, top down, sports mode engaged, wind blowing through my COVID mullet. Bliss. Until the last 100m from home, slowed for a corner...
