    Fuel cap cable

    I have just gone to fill up my GTS and the cable connecting the fuel cap to the car snapped. Looking at Eurospares here https://www.eurospares.co.uk/Maserati/GranTurismo/GranTurismo_(2012)/PartDiagrams/09_22_1/FUEL_TANK_DOOR_AND_CONTROLS it doesn't seem to list the part I need. Also, is it an...

    CTEK Charger issue

    I have my GT hooked up to a CTEK MXS 5.0 and up until recently it's been fine keeping the battery in good health. I checked on it last night and all I get is a flashing green light when it's switched on which iirc means there is no connection between the battery and the charger. It's always been...

    Quick new tyre question

    It's that time when I need to replace all my tyres and am just about to buy a set of Michelin Sport 4s ones through Blackcircles as they have a 10% off today on them. Just wanted to check that the correct tyre is the Ferrari k2 fitment. I'm pretty sure I used that fitment on my last ones. Many...

    It'll buff out right?

    So last day of school for my daughter and the GTS goes in for it's MOT tomorrow so I thought I would pick her up in the Maser and give the GTS a run out so no warning lights come on tomorrow and scare the tester as I haven't used the car for about 10 day. Sat in the car and a Qashqai next to me...

    Air con recharge

    My GTS is 5 years old now and I doubt it's ever had an air con recharge. Yesterday when using the air con it emitted a pretty awful smell and so I'm sure I need a recharge. I'm loathe to take my car into Halfords or Kwik-Fit to do the work and seeing as we've just moved to just outside Gerrads...

    Minimum front brake disc thickness for 2012 GTS

    It's time to change my front pads and get my discs skimmed but the company who carry out the skimming need to know a GT's minimum thickness. They said they could ask Maserati but it would take up to 10 days so I was wondering if anyone on here has had it done and what the minimum can be. Many...

    Physical issue with keys

    So this has happened to both of my keys now. I'm concerned that I will drop one when out and about and have no way of getting back into the car so rather than fork out for a new key from Maserati is there a quick win? Would a dab of superglue hold it back in place or is that a bad idea...

    Random suspension warning light

    Bit of a weird one but this afternoon as I was driving the shock absorber graphic flashed up as a warning and promptly disappeared. No change in how the car drove and I don't have Skyhook so does anyone have any idea why this would occur? I replaced my shock this year after a leaking one was...

    EBC Yellowstuff versus Redstuff pads

    So my pads need changing and I'm loathe to fork out over £1K for oem pads but am willing to try EBC ones. As far as I'm aware Yellow are more track orientated but Red are more suitable for street. I have no intention of taking the GTS on atrack anytime soon so would it be betetr to stick to...

    My GTS is having it's service...*gulp*

    So I dropped my GTS at Emblem yesterday for it's 4 year service and wasn't expecting too much to be done. Seems like I was a bit optimistic as Martin has come back with this list. Customers list: 1. 12500 mile / 2 year service – in progress 2. Fit new N/S/R shock absorber (supplied)...

    Seat heater control

    I've noticed that every so often my seat heater comes on even though I haven't touched the switch. I had a look yesterday and it seems as if the rocker switch flicks between 0 and 1 if I even touch it rather than moving it. I've had a look on Eurospares and the switch is over £100 so wanted to...

    Rear shock absorber

    So after an inspection my GTS has a leaking rear shock. The only problem is that Maserati will only supply a pair and I would rather buy one. Eurospares have them listed here http://www.eurospares.co.uk/search?partNumber=254814 and seem as though they are able to buy as a single unit. I...

    Passenger seat trim part for a GTS

    So it seems as if my daughter has kicked a piece of trim whilst getting out of the car the other day. I've been on Eurospares and I think they may have got their parts mixed up as part 14 in this diagram...

    Gutted

    So after spending all morning cleaning and detailing my GTS I popped out to run a couple of errands. This involved parking on a busy street and when I came back I found someone had done this Looks like they banged into my bumper on the passenger side when manoeuvring out of the space...

    GT larger paddles

    I've mentioned it on here a couple of times but I really do have paddle envy. Mine are tiny compared to the larger variant. I know that FD offer a carbon fibre alternative but I dont fancy them and would love an OEM set. Were they an option that my car's previous owner didn't tick, just like he...

    Headlight washer cover issue

    I've just noticed this morning that the driver's side cover for the washer jet is out of alignment. I tried using the jets to see if it will return to it's correct position but no joy. I'm home alone today so no way I can get the other half to use the washer whilst I play around with it when it...
