    New starter motor for QPIV

    Guys my QPIV is in need of a starter motor. It's coughing and takes forever to start the engine. Had a new battery fitted as I thought this was the culprit but no, barely made a difference. Does anyone know whether this is shared part w fiat group and how difficult is it to get to it? Could a...

    QP4 intercooler pipes

    My mechanic advised that the synthetic pipes (sleeves) connecting to the intercooler will need change soon. Wanted to check whether people have replaced with stock or found upgraded aftermarket alternatives.

    First eurotrip since covid

    I've been on the road over the past week, visiting in-laws in Germany and sampling Belgian beers on the way back. But the trip started at Netherlands with a visit to @A.S. Motorsport who fitted a set of his coilover solution. That was a well deserved investment as my suspension was now 18yrs...

    Ghibli cup steering wheel

    I'm thinking of doing a small mod in my QP4. Considering swapping the stock steering wheel to Momo similar to the Ghibli cup. Ideally fit a column extension too as I find my self driving with my arms a little too stretched for my liking. Could someone advise on the diameter of the Momo corse...

    Aircon ECU repair QP4

    The aircon control panel on the dashboard suddenly stopped working. Was working fine until one point that snaped and now is as if there is no electricity feeding. We've checked the fuse box but doesn't seem to be a problem there. The electrician suggested it is the Aircon ECU tablet behind the...

    Oil price - Temporary upwards blip OR the only way is up?

    What is the consensus of the forum regarding the oil price? While I appreciate geopolitical developments and global inflationary pressure are driving at the moment prices higher, I've been reading articles that essentially say that higher prices are almost welcome as they are the necessary...

    QPV skyhook prevention work

    I think my car tils a bit on one side. I can put one finger less between the wheel and the wheel arch. I guess it is the springs (could it be the absorbers?). But if I were to change to springs would it make sense to do something on shock absorbers too? Is anyone servicing/refreshing them?

    QP4 clutch pedal

    We had the car for a couple of months now and generally had no issues with it. The clutch bites reasonably predictably is not particularly hard and seems to have a lot of life. But this morning as my dad tried to pull the car out of the garage he press the clutch pedal to select reverse and...

    New (to me) QP4

    Because one QP is not enough, I thought it would be a good idea to get a second one to keep in my home country-Greece. That's the 2.0 biturbo v6, 6speed manual, likely made in 1997 but registered in 1999.

    QP headlining refresh

    The headlining of my 15year old QP was losing shape. I did a bit of research on what is available to replace with. There are no original factory parts unless you have a sunroof. There are still parts for cars with sunroof. *The original standard part was overpriced and also not great quality...
