Best guess at the moment in alternator but also seems to be a fuel leak but it's not out of petrol. Will discover more next week.

Over the moon to have qualified for this thread yesterday.
First it was a bit slow to change gear, then it couldn't get anything but second gear, then no gears at all.
Managed to roll it into a car park on a side street. 11 hour wait for recovery to arrive!
No pump sounds when opening the driver side door so I'm hoping a relay or maybe pump. Fingers crossed.
Ash, Incoming!

Still looks stunning on the recovery truck though.

lovely motor and colour, are those the wider shamal wheels on the rear?

Thanks, even better when it's going! I'm not aware the wheels are any different to standard, rear tyres are 225/45 and I would think the Shamals are bigger than that?

i swapped out my original maserati disc wheels for those 8x16 shamal front rims all round on mine , wasn't sure whether the bigger 9x16's rears would have fouled bodywork/suspension

Very nice, definitely look better than the disc wheels on anything except the very early cars.
Where did you get your wind deflector from and does it work?

the wind deflector was already fitted when i bought the car, seems to help a tad

Was hoping for it to be a relay or a pump, but unfortunately it turned out to be a broken clutch due to failed tangs
Gutted, but should be back up and running in the next few days. The failed clutch was fitted in 2014 and covered 20k miles before it died. Plenty of friction material left if the wear indication was reporting correctly, which is a shame.

Had a good look at your pics Ewan, looks stunning in that colour. I got very tempted to buy a 3200 in Verde Mexico (very similar) many years back. Really suits this car and even better on a GS!

I haven't managed to figure out the date range for the bad ones, but I suspect this could well be one of them. Looks like 2013 is stamped on it but cant be sure. Expensive fix, but at least I know it will be perfect when it comes back.
