After 5 years, and only 10k miles of ownership, i've decided to sell due to current circumstances and the need for something more practical. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of time to advertise in the usual places, with all that entails. It's a 2005 duo-select Quattroporte, with 80856...

My car will start up ok (2005 QTP), but cuts out immediately. Everything was working perfectly before this, and I only pulled over to take a phone call. The fault has been traced to 'drivers door ECU'. Unfortunately at the time when it happened I was using a key made from a blank shell from...

Any idea what this connection is for? I found it hanging loose when i removed the engine cover. Everything still works perfectly (apart from the front sensors but they appear to be wired elsewhere). Any help appreciated.

I'm looking for a couple of rear springs for a 2005 Quattroporte to get me through an MOT, but they seem to be like hens teeth at the moment. All the usual places don't have them in stock, and it'll be 2-3 weeks to get them from the factory. Anybody happen to have a pair lying around, or know...

So yesterday I bring my QP5 out of its cosy heated garage to get some fuel and give it a weekly blast, and a series of warning messages appear on the console. These were MSP, ASR, ABS, and Suspension Control system failures, repeating one after the other, with the additional warning 'Drive...

Yesterday I noticed my passenger front door wasn't staying shut, and after getting no-where with fiddling with the mechanism on the end of the door, I realised the problem was with the external manual door opening lever. For some reason this has stayed depressed when it was last used, and so...

I've noticed very light corrosion on the edges of the mesh grill on my '05 QP, and heavier corrosion on the grille fixing brackets themselves, so thought i'd remove the grille and give the whole thing a good going over. But I can't get at the screw heads because of the mesh in the way...

I've had my Quattroporte about a month now, and I love all the attention it seems to get. And I will get round to posting some pictures. For a 10 year old car, she's in very good condition, but I've noticed some oxidation on the door mirrors that is spoiling the look. I believe this is a...

Now the better weather is here, I've decided to spend some time on minor stone chips and scratches that polishing alone won't hide. But I can't imagine my local Halfords is going to stock the stuff I will need for my Quattroporte. This looked a good option... www.chipex.co.uk/kit/select/...

After years of loving, and months of looking, I finally took the plunge yesterday and bought my first Maserati, a 2005 Quattroporte. The evening before, I was full of doubt. Was I doing the right thing, trading in my trusty but boring BMW? Maybe it was nerves, as it was a private deal. But...

My search for a QP continues, and I've been looking at this pair... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201501029900435/sort/default/onesearchad/used/model/quattroporte/make/maserati/usedcars/page/1/radius/1501/postcode/kw15lj?logcode=p and...

This Quattroporte seems to have been for sale for ages, but the price looks ok at £14k. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maserati-Quattroporte-V8-4dr-DuoSelect/291152899827 Obviously the 'full service history' needs checking out, plus an inspection, but mileage is low and condition seems fine...

Still interested in getting a Quattroporte and came across this... http://www.bob-gerard.co.uk/used-cars/maserati-quattroporte-v8-4dr-duoselect-great-glen-201408286929701 Looks a lovely car, but not too much information on service history or work done. Guess an indie inspection is the answer...

Hi looking for some advice on potential Quattroporte purchase, and guessed you guys would be the best people for the job! This will be my first venture in to the exotic car world, and don't have a fortune to spend, so want to make the best choice. I'm sold on the Qp, and with around £12...
