    Lithium Battery

    I know you're an old fuddy-duddy mate, but I couldnt agree and disagree with you more on this. £200K lightweight Alpine anyone!!

    Lithium Battery

    I have them on my bikes...Pretty happy with the way they don't discharge when left ( current drains excepted, of course) and the weight difference is impressive.

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    That’s true… If you own one perhaps, or have the option of getting into one that needs parts, these can be disproportionately expensive as well as hard to find. If you spanner yourself, getting a ‘ cheap breaker’, (or even buying two to make one), it could be an affordable way to fix, and move...

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    Get a PPI for £300_£400 and you have a fighting chance of dodging a bullet! That’s scrap value. Get two!

    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    Yes & no…mostly no, though Quite a few cars will briefly rattle on cold start up. I’ve heard a few rattle for several seconds…. It’s the variator that’s evacuated of oil before oil pressure builds. There are non return valves snd o- rings that can be easily replaced that helps. Its hard to...

    Folgore

    If Bob Geldof stood on stage for Maserati and shouted “ just give us yer feckin’ money” for half an hour, it’s be less tedious…!

    A few of us on here like a little French car

    I take your point. I am on board up to a point. This is like the Porsche game wherein they identify those with more money than sense and target their wallets to the exclusion of everything else..Buy in here, spend £X amount and then maybe, maybe, we’ll think about it… I was interested in their...

    A few of us on here like a little French car

    Premiere Edition cars with all the bells and whistles for low 30’s…. Alpine have lost the plot with this nonsense for me. Self indulgent b0ll0x.I suppose they think it helps the brand?

    Art Reviewers Societal Exemplaires

    Of course, you’re entitked & welcome to your opinion. Much like the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In the same way love is blind, maybe? I would argue that art needs no purpose. It is subversive by its very existence. We don’t need it; it doesn’t feed us, clothe us, keep us...

    Wiper Motor Judder - Fix?

    Don’t feel bad - I also went through the whole process and it made no difference. No worn tracks, thick hardened grease…everything fine. Apparently it’s down to a piece of priceless Maserati plastic that attaches to the priceless Maserati wiper blades…..:D

    Fair play….I was slightly befuddled by the notion of how a tree works, questioning if my limited understanding, also limited my capacity to appreciate it.…:)

    Art Reviewers Societal Exemplaires

    I was suggesting that the tree is beauty. But not art. (Ignore that a human made an image of it ) Is it’s beauty enough to call it art. I don’t think so…assuming you also find it beautiful in some way. I won’t assume you do, necessarily. That it can only be experienced in the instant of...

    Coolant on top of thermostat

    I added a UV dye to the coolant when I wanted to find the source of a leak. With the right light, you can hopefully find the cause. In my case, the engine front cover to water/oil pump o-ring failed. Let’s hope you have an easier fix than that… Bit of a bar-steward flushing the dye ever since...

    I think it’s dead, mate. It has ceased to be…! I can’t be absolutely certain mind you. It’s very heavily retrenched if not; a natural life cycle clearly visible in the mighty oak. It still has much to offer. Left standing, it has infinitely greater wildlife value than if removed, or even felled...

    P2187 Error code Maserati 4200 Coupe

    EU3 have different positioning of sensor wiring, so if your front plugs are under the rads, you have EU4 ( cats in headers) No idea if the plugs are different however…just speculating you maybe bought the wrong ones…? Hopefully of some help to you…. Maserati would insist the O2 sensors were...
