    Check Engine Light

    No jet washing here, it's been very wet for what feels like months, but only over the past couple of weeks.

    Check Engine Light

    The RAC have sent someone out to check the faults, they won't put it on a trailer until someone comes to check it, which seems a massive waste of resources, but that's their policy, anyway a nice chap arrived, plugged in his scanner thing and there's misfires on cylinders 5, 6 and 8. That...

    Check Engine Light

    The engine light came on again this morning. Gah! When I started it there was a whiff of at the engine running a bit rich so I suspect it's going to be an oxygen sensor -at least that's what I'm telling myself. It'll be off to my local Maserati garage on the back of a RAC trailer as soon as...

    Thanks for the reply, it's on charge now. Annoyingly tomorrow is when I need the car!

    Check Engine Light

    Hello all. I took my GT out this evening for the first time in a few days and within 1/2 mile the CEL came on with a repetitive beeping and the Check Engine message on the dash. I turned the car around and by the time I went from reverse back into drive the message had gone and the CEL...

    Electrical Gremlins

    Hello all. Hoping you might be able to help here. My GT has had a couple of electrical gremlins these past couple of days - firstly the alarm unavailable warning came up, in itself not too much of an issue. I did the lock door/unlock boot button reset and that didn't solve it, however I opened...

    New Car Day!

    All solved now - it'll be ready for collection tomorrow, I could've collected it tonight but there was a miscommunication which meant I couldn't get to the dealership.

    New Car Day!

    Yep, the car sales business is so full of cowboys. I hate that I fall for it every **** time

    New Car Day!

    It's something that I don't want to do, but I will if I have to. I need to make sure all my ducks are in a row from a contractual pov though.

    New Car Day!

    Yes, within 6 miles of collecting it! But these things happen and up until that point I was happy for it tone fixed and I could carry on my merry way - I'm getting a bit fed up now though.

    New Car Day!

    I totally agree with you but the feeling dealer wasn't budging and told me basically that's what the warranty was for. I'd never buy another car from them and afaik I still have the option to send it back under the distance selling act.

    New Car Day!

    It's complicated because the car was bought from a Maserati dealer some distance away and the Maserati dealer doing the work is my local one. Although both "Maserati" they're owned by different companies so have little affiliation to each other and of course neither is really taking full...

    New Car Day!

    I agree, but they're refusing to budge unless I pay up front and claim back from the warranty company and as a matter of principle I refuse to do that.

    New Car Day!

    Slightly back on topic, the fault was a speed sensor. All fixed under warranty, annoyingly Maserati won't release the car until the warranty company pay the bill - which sounds very dubious company policy to me, but it's fixed and hopefully I'll have it back soon (ish)

    New Car Day!

    It was wet!

    New Car Day!

    Hopefully - in all fairness to the dealer they've booked me into my local Maserati for tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

    New Car Day!

    They think it the ABS sensor - I’m happy for them to sort it any way they wish as long as it’s sorted.

    New Car Day!

    Hurrah, New car day is the best day. Kind of. After many months of searching and a quite a few disappointments my new 2014 GT arrived today. It's Grigio Alfieri with Bordeaux interior and I love it. Sadly after a mammoth 6 miles and perhaps 15 minutes of driving it, a load of warnings lit up...

    I've put this one on my shortlist - does anybody have any knowledge of the car or garage...

    Looking for a Gran Turismo

    Thanks for al the replies - it seems there's very few post 2012 MC shift cars full stop - so I'll probably go auto - is skyhook awful or worth getting? Or is that the sort of question that opens a can of worms? @Ashventini I think anything from a main dealer will be out of my budget sadly...
