    QP Sun Visor problem

    Flipped the sun visor down and plastic arm that fits into the socket broke. A new part is £317+VAT (thank you so much Maserati!) Tried fixing it with some superglue. But I reckon the source of the problem is the spring loaded flip down/flip up. I think it's too stiff and that put too much...

    Escalating clutch repairs... who is at fault

    So my QP went in for new clutch and investigate an issue with stalling and slipping out of gear. Nareman at Nuvola sent her to Maserati Colchester. So they found a clutch fluid leak and identified it as the clutch release bearing leaking hydraulic fluid. That increased the clutch replacement...

    QP V clutch slips to neutral - wait or change now?

    The beginning of the end of the clutch on my Duoselect - a few times now she's slipped into neutral when I've requested 5th from 6th (usually doing 75mph on the M1when it happens - so not happy days). But I've avoided that particular change and no problems since. 1/ How do they deteriorate from...

    QP V - clock?

    Clock in my duo-select has stopped and won't start. Reset the time several times. Any ideas? Perhaps two weeks with a dead battery did something? Costs to replace? ALSO Why does Maserati put such a crappy piece of plastic clock in there? For a centre-piece in the car they could have gotten...

    1st 4.7 GTS under £25?

    Didn't think I'd see 4.7 GTS break the £25k barrier. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201808089269671?advertising-location=at_cars&sort=price-asc&postcode=yo73ar&model=GRANTURISMO&radius=1500&make=MASERATI&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&page=2 Is there...

    Pleeeaaase can we take the Maser to the park again?

    "Pleeeeeaase can we take the Maser to the park again?" "Lila no. That's ridiculous. You know she only does 16mpg at best." "That's because of the way you drive" "Shutup - we're walking" "OK!!!" (dogs are easily distracted by the prospect of a walk)

    QP clutch reset on flat battery = temporarily better?

    Clutch on my 2005 QP Duoselect was 65% worn at the last reading. But it always seems to come back from service etc running a bit better for a few days or a week or so. I just got her back from being sat in the "write-off" parking lot of M&A Coachworks in St Albans (boy do they have a bunch of...

    QP accident woes & poss insurance write off - ADVICE PLEASE!

    My 2005 QP (Duoselect, 67,000 miles, standard no GT or Sport) was hit in Aspley train station car park. Someone hit the front passenger wing and drove off. Didn't look too bad. British Transport Police have tracked him down. Looks like he doesn't have insurance. Contacted Aviva, they assigned...

    2005 QP - new clutch quotes - HROwen £5.4K, Nuvola £3.1K - any better?

    Still hope I'm 6 months+ from needing to get the clutch replaced (55% wear) Nareman at Nuvola had told me he could get it done for £2k when I bought her in May 2016 However when I asked him for a quote late last year (via Colchester Maserati) - the actual was £3,100 So I tried my luck at HR...

    Telemetry done (was so bad!) - final toe-in couldn't be fixed? Good N London outfit

    I've been complaining on here about heavy tram-lining - so you've all said to get the telemetry done. Found a local place (1 mile away!) with a new Hunter rig. £100. They spent well over an hour on it. Seem like good guys who know what they are doing> http://uktyres.co.uk/ It was...
