    Ceramic coatings!

    So posting here but the main chat was on Mercedes Forum. Thought it may be of interest though. In looking to see what I could do to maintain a good finish / gloss on my AMG C63s but at reasonable cost I've been looking at DIY Ceramics. I particular the recent spate of ultra cheap Chinese...

    Electric Cars - Made me chuckle!

    So I'm not against electric cars, I have a BMW i3. But they are not, imho, a replacement for a proper car (V8, petrol, loud). So - did anyone catch the latest news from California where as a matter of Health, Safety Environment (and legal liability) the power companies shut down 'the grid' to...

    Headlight Washer Cover

    OK so in putting my car to bed for the winter and throwing over its nice new cover I managed to catch an edge on the headlight washer cover - it has just come unclipped as opposed to broken. And as the unit itself inside its hidey hole is arranged to swivel and 'give' there's no way to push it...

    Reverse, clunk, stop - repeat?

    So my poor 4200 is in with Autoshield to have a noisy spigot/release bearing sorted, fingers crossed it's under warranty. However this morning it goes into reverse, travels a few feet, clunk, and all stop. Back to first, back to reverse and same again. Anybody care to second guess what's...

    Expressions of Interest - 4200CC in Red / Black - under 30K miles

    Hi folks, I'm just at the exploratory stages here. I work in the oil & gas business usually contracting abroad and recently my contract has allowed me some time in the UK - sufficient time to enjoy owning my 2004 Maserati 4200CC, but not sufficient for me to put many miles on the clock - hence...

    Door Mirror Removal on 4200

    Hi folks - I'm going to need to take my drivers door mirror off this next week (and I am nowhere near the car just now) and trying to plan ahead.

    To jump or not to jump......

My usual drive to my mother's usually around 1 hour became a 4.5 hr epic. Via Llandegla Moors! The good news is that after 3...

    Gauges - what do they really say?

    Ok so I work in an industry that is paranoid on gauges and generally we adjust (rotate) everything so the 'best reading' always has the needle at 12 o'clock - its easier to see when things are going wrong. What I don't know is what, on my 2005 4200cc is a best reading? - OK Fuel is an easy...

    4200 GT Heater Core / Matrix

    Ok so my 4200 CC windscreen mists up / fogs when warm and parked, the interior smells 'musty' - but so far I am unsure if I am losing any coolant or not. I have filled the tank to just over the internal baffles and will see how it goes - I suspect a new heater matrix is going to be needed...

    2004 4200 CC Radio Reception

    Ok - so in my quest to make sure everything in my newly purchased 4200 works I have asked questions on Sat Nav and have a plan for that - but the radio reception is just about non-existent. I haven't investigated yet but it doesn't sound like there is much of an antenna connected at all - it...
