    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    Just something I've noticed on the pics of all these Chinese ones, is where the cable goes to the sensor doesn't seem to be 'heat shrunk' properly. So just make sure that's done or it's well taped if you don't have heatshrink.

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Good to hear. They are my nearest specialist, but never used them myself. Always hear good things about them though.

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    I've changed a front and a rear on my GT in the last year. The front is a pretty straight forward job, so I took a punt on a pattern part as if it failed early, I'd happily change it again without too much hassle. Not a £100 part straight from China, but a 350ish from the UK (probably from China...

    Neptune wheel colour code

    As was mentioned earlier, there's a good chance they've been refurbed/painted at some time in their life, so the chance of them being exact factory colour reduces. Also, none of the centre caps ever match the wheel colour exactly anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.

    2010 Bianco Fuji GTS F1

    If you need a quick sale, than price it the same as an equivalent age/milage one without your rare options and yours should sell first.

    2010 Bianco Fuji GTS F1

    It's in the right ball park. If you're not in a rush, wait till spring and the sun is out and see what interest you get. There's quite a few cheaper than yours, and some of them seemingly great value, but I do feel that with the paint, MC sport line, carbon packs, alcantera and new clutch...

    Electrical Smoke From Bonnet - Offside

    My money is on valve cover gaskets too. Especially as you've driven since and all was ok. Very common for it to leak at the back of the engine and drip down onto the Cats. Usually smell it if it been standing a while, also if you drive really hard as well.

    YouTuber Dadcars does a feature on 'flappy paddle boxes'... and it's rather good imho

    I've enjoyed all his videos that I've watched. Although his mates GT isn't helping with reliability reputation. He's either got a bit of a lemon, or is being convinced to spend money on it that doesn't necessarily need spending.

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Service due tomorrow with PrestigeAutoworks. I could do it myself, but I still feel that these car's re-sale would suffer if there was a lack of recognised stamps in the book, and that an expert eye every 2 years is worth it. So got it up in the air in preparation and got a few bits done I've...

    Stradale / MC Handling pack. They are bigger than the standard ones and not a lot of money.

    Drove it like I stole it. Had a game of Golf. Drove it like I stole it back again. God I love it.

    My Oceanic Blue GTS

    Looks a nice combo! (although I think the Neptunes would set it off nicely)
