    Help! Engine light coming on and misfire - Southampton

    Hi Folks, I wonder if any of you can help. My QP V (2007 MY F1) has started showing the engine warning light and misfiring. I've done 2 trips today with 1.5 hour rest in between. During the first, the car was fine for about 40 miles, then it repeatedly misfired. Then it was parked up for 90...

    Independent servicing QPV, E. Anglia/SE?

    I'm weighing up which to use for a basic annual service. Anyone used Highline Autos in Hertford? The chap I spoke to on the phone said they have an ex-HR Owen technician and SD3. They have the best standard price for a basic service I've found. I can't find anyone complaining about them on the...

    QPV and Granturismo Formula Dynamics uprated anti-roll bars

    I've listed these here and on eBay for "a while", and at last I've had some proper interest from someone who's offered me £300 cash on collection. I think that's probably fair, but he's away for a week, so I've agreed with him that I'll accept it if I don't get any better offers in the next...

    Loudlink LLK-B08k Maserati 4200/spyder

    Came up in an eBay saved search e-mail. Sadly for me, not for the QPV. A bargain at £45 for someone here, maybe: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292531272430

    FS: Granturismo or QPV Formula Dynamics performance anti-roll bars

    Just found out from FD that my ARBs also fit the GT. Auction close to ending, but you can always PM me. I found out they fit the GT as a result of an enquiry form someone keen to buy them, but he wants me to ship them to Dubai and as they fit a lot more cars they're probably going to be easier...

    One year with my QP

    A year ago this morning I was test driving, inspecting and then arranging a bank transfer. Over the last year it's taken the family to Tuscany and back, including a visit to the Maserati factoy in Modena. We've done about 5k miles, taking the mileage up to 34.5k, despite being SORNed Dec-Feb...

    Anyone know this black/black 2012 GT S MC-Shift?

    It's not far from me in Suffolk, on a different private plate from the one in the ad. I was wondering if the owner is a forum member. Scroll down to see the ad. https://www.gumtree.com/p/maserati/maserati-granturismo-sport-4.7-mc-shift-2012-62-nero-carbonio-nero-25680-miles/1147367292

    Clutch change cost?

    I'm pretty sure my release bearing's squealing briefly on the first or second clutch engagement from cold. After that it's fine. The car's now done 34k miles and has't had a clutch change yet, so I'm expecting to have to get it done. I'm not 100% sure the sqeal is from the release bearing...

    Spotted a non-standard infotainment system in a car 2005 QPV Nuvola has up for sale at the moment. Seems to integrate well cosmetically. Anyone know what it is?

    Going to plan

    In southern Switzerland. Managed to properly exercise the car on quiet unrestricted autobhanen yesterday. It really shifts above 120 mph. Had to go over the Gotthard pass as the tunnel was backed up for miles with stationary traffic. This thing can overtake lines of cars going up hill nearly as...

    Coal to Newcastle

    We're off to Italy in the QP shortly. Five-up - three children in the back - little one in the middle on one of those small inflatable booster cushions. Going via Belgium, Germany & Switzerland to Tuscany. Leaving Thurs am. Should be fun - what these cars are for. Got my Italian toll tag from...

    Back to standard project

    A couple of you may remember me mentioning at the April ACE meet that I'd like to revert my car to standard spec. I've had to finish another project before I could get started on this one - my youngest son's bedroom. I managed to finish that on Monday and in the last month or so I've bought all...
