I found the tube to plug headlamp washer leaks. It’s accessible without taking the wheel and liner off. Simply open the bonnet, pull away the rubber cover at the top of the wing and you will see this pipe (I’ve split it so you can see the two white connectors... (Undo the blue clip) plug it there. 70493

OK that makes sense. When they were investigating mine (the washer wasn't really blasting the water, it was more dribbling out) they suspected the pump motor, so they changed that (which needed wheel arch liner out). BTW if that happens the part number is the same as that on the Stelvio and as a result is not quite so much of a rip off..

Has anyone viewed this car? Or had dealings with the vendor?
I went for a look today, it’s with a trader seemed genuine enough guy (most do though if there good at what they do)
High on the miles, history etc....all stacks up with around 15k miles a year.
One owner with full history. Paint work has stone chips to front bumper, bonnet & just in front of rear wheels, consistent with mileage (sort of reassuring it hasn’t been tarted up) interior is really tidy. Apparently car came from an Audi dealership as a trade in.
Bad points (besides stone chips) No sky hook, no paddles. Funny rattle coming from behind instrument cluster on tick-over, goes away on application of throttle.....forum posts suggest waste gate noise?
Welcome input from owners ref mileage & reliability.

I’m guessing that was a negative response, but censored?!
Response to the car or dealer...,.or both?

Actually no. I cannot believe how cheap it is. No idea about either the dealer or the issues highlighted on the car, but Mrs C is smitten!

Priced well I agree a found some wriggle room too! It is a lovely thing, Only thing I can find against it is the mileage another 17k Miles & do I have a Maserati shaped paper weight?

Rumour has it you can map a normal Ghibli to S levels easily. No reason to buy an S without skyhook etc when you can do that. You’ll get a normal v6 with below 50k miles for 19ish. Or spend 23k on a good spec S with bellow 50k miles.

Croft’s, by now, you must know this !!

Hello, by the way, say to the Fridge Raider,

If you decide to go down the Ghibli remap route the accompanying big brake kit seems quite cheap https://www.bigbrakes4u.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=4538
It’s cheap because the disks are small. I don’t know how big the Ghibli brakes are as standard but 310 doesn’t really count as a big brake kit. If you want genuine and repeatable stopping power for 400+ BHP and 1.8 tonnes then you will need something like this https://www.vividracing.com/brembo-...kit-maserati-ghibli-sq4-1419-p-152562638.html

False advertising then... Should should call themselves averagebrakes4u

I was surprised to see that price as I would expect to pay circa £3k for a kit for the coupe
