I haven't been around much as I had a kid, moved house, new job etc, but to answer your question no this has not been resolved yet. Almost unbelievably, Supercar Italia still have my car and I've not heard from them in 5 months. I've been meaning to get to the bottom of it, but since moving...

Apparently it's a fault with the reverse switch or something, the engine is running but gearbox is bypassed. This will be the last attempt I'll allow them, I've completely let it slide due to the aforementioned kid and me having a few other cars but it's time I got it back now, so if it's still...

I completely forgot about this! I had my first child in May and everything else in my life has been put on hold. Will arrange for its return soon. The garage (SupercarItalia) that took my car in for a clutch change at the start of October 2022, STILL have my car and have seemingly given up on...

I have no idea, I don't think the ECU was the issue as a new one didn't solve the problem. I reckon the actuator might be the culprit, and it's something I mentioned to the garage when it first went in 8 months ago!

Sorry only just seen this now, but still no resolution. Last update was from a couple of weeks ago where the garage said they weren't getting pressure from the gearbox pump or it was showing very low pressure. Possible actuator issue as well. I have lost complete faith in them but just have to...

So an update. New ECU is on the car, the self learn gear selection is working on the diagnostic machine but not on the car. Actuator pressure unable to be read. Still trying to get to the bottom of it then...

True, but there's no way of knowing if the old one is fine and the garage are just incompetent. Again, true, but I feel like a half decent garage wouldn't have any problem sorting it. Does the car not have to be present when writing to the TCU? That would be the litmus test, but it's not as...

God, don't really know what to do now. I don't trust them to get to the bottom of this, but short of having it trailered to Voicey or SI I reckon I'm a bit stuck. Garage is saying that a new TCU will sort everything and is offering to go halves on cost (as it can't be returned apparently...

Sage advice as I received a call today from the owner where he said they didn't actually do this despite what he said the other day. :rolleyes:

Not sure, think it might be Leonardo. I don't think they have SD3 as when I mentioned it (6 months ago!) the garage said they use something else which is just as comprehensive. PM sent. Yep, this place is invaluable and people really do go the extra mile.

Managed to find a used working TCU which should work for mine even if it's not an exact part match. Or am I completely wrong?

@Steve4200 - So, just spoke to them and they claim that when they swapped the TCU in my car for another 2010 MCS it started up, and the other car didn't. Swapped them back and the reverse happened. They said they are unable to write any values to my TCU which is why the readings are all wrong...

Steve, this is all brilliant stuff - I'm trying to get hold of the garage but they're closed for Easter. Will speak to them asap and give them this info. I need to speak to him to find out more, I have a feeling he (or the mechanic) didn't spend too much time fault finding.

o_O He's sending the TCU to me on Monday, will forward on or alternatively I can send it direct to you at SportsItalia - Unit 4D Lake Farm Estate, Allington Ln SO50 7DD, I presume? It went in for a simple clutch change but apparently there are software issues which has caused the delay. I'm...

Yeah I didn't really know what he meant by this, but messages from him are sometimes indecipherable due to his tenuous grasp of the English language. My car is still in the workshop, on the same lift it's been on since October - I know this only from looking on their Instagram page where they...

I have access to a workshop Autel diagnostic machine which I had a little fiddle around with before I sent it to the garage. Could this have anything to do with it? The garage has seemingly tried to pin the blame on me doing that for a lot of the delays, but I fail to see how a robust component...

They haven't said what steps they took or what they did that suggests it's goosed, the line of comms went like this: Them: "gearbox ecu is faulty, soft wear(!) corruption. ordered new one 1460+ VAT" Me: "Does it definitely need a new TCU?" Them: "Yes, we tried it on another maserati" Me: "Is it...

I wanted to take to SportsItalia, but was slightly too far for the trailer company annoyingly. Anyone know of my best bet to get a second hand TCU for a 2010 MC Shift (M145)?

After literal months of silence they inform me that they've changed out stuff without asking me or telling me costs and that the car will be ready in a few days, then silence for weeks again... I'm in the South East, the garage is in Kent (SE London side). I've got loads of stories about how...

They deal with a number of Maserati's and appear to be highly rated (albeit not on here), but they've been diabolical with me. They claim to have the SD3 but I think they use a different machine. Car is a 2010 with 65k which I've owned for ~4 years. Was running completely fault free until...
