Probably loads of other options from else where, but I have used these and they fit well. I just covered them in waxoil to make them last a bit longer hopefully.

Eurospares are currently offering these as approved replacement for QPV 4.7 Auto. Comes with the wear cable too. Part number 673010328. Anyone know if these suit the Sport GTS? and if they're any good for every day use? Seem good value!

What's the current situation for front discs potentially Matt/Zep ?

Cheers
Ian.

Just got an answer from them actually - nope not suitable for the GTS.
What's recommended currently per chance?

If you need discs I can sort those for you Ian. For pads, there are a lot of aftermarket options, I would look at Ferodo FDB4212 for normal use or FDS4212 for a sportier pad. If you need a wear sensor I can do them too.

Thanks Zep. Normal use should be ok tbh. I'll let you know when I need the sensor

ALTERNATORS

I did a lot of researching for credible, viable options and came up with the following (including thanks to this forum):
  1. OEM part at 30% discount on retail price at resellers like Eurospares and Scuderia https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/270972/maserati/325296/alternator.html#spec(note that this part number supersedes all previous part numbers)
  2. Full refurbishment (where OEM weak parts are replaced with stronger parts and the casing is refurbished) with reputable and knowledgable experts in rotating electronics such as people like Steve (who I spoke with and felt very comfortable and convinced by) at London & Essex https://londonessexautoelectrics.co.uk
  3. Buying a clone from a reputable manufacturer with some traceable provenance. After a lot of searching I found this from AS, a company in Poland specialising in electrical parts for vehicles https://as-pl.com/en/p/A6643S *UPDATE: This part failed on me - do not buy! *
Option 1 is the most expensive (even after 30% discount) at around £570 plus delivery. The next most expensive is option 3 at around £260, followed by option 2 at roughy £230 (from what I recall one forum member - this price may have changed since).

I decided to go for option 3 (bought on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115284835627) and have just received the part which looks and feels high quality, with high quality packaging and testing certificate. *UPDATE: This part failed on me - do not buy! *

Window regulators for 2008 QP. The vendor probably has versions for other models too.
This is the ebay window regulator from Germany that I fitted. It's priced at £200 ( plus about £50 import duty) for a pair for the two front doors. The Scuderia price is £300 each. It works fine but is slightly noisier than the original past sometimes. The coil spring shock absorbers appear less well specified than those of the original part and I think they sometimes bottom out, causing a loudish "tick" sound.

Does anybody know if there is a replacement for the lambda sensors? PN 217447 and 180915.

Thank you.
Buy them direct from Bosch e.g. on Amazon and they are a lot cheaper. The Maserati ones are just Bosch. Should be able to get all 4 for around £300

Thank you for your quick answers.

But I still can't find the right numbers. If I select Granturismo or Grancabrio with the 4.7 Engine it shows me only replacement batteries.

Can you tell me the PN or which car I have to select?

Start here
Search for Maserati
Under Make drop down select Maserati
Choose your model/year
Select Parts Category - Lambda Sensors

Under Product Details / Technical Description it shows the manufacturers part numbers - you will see the Maserati and Ferrari numbers that the Bosch part number equates to
