It's not a complicated engine per se, so no reason why you couldn't get a trusted local garage to look after it.
My idler pulley went suddenly and I had this and the aux belt replaced together. I think it might be an idea to do both unless you have a record of this being done in the past five years.
Also, if you do a search for Ghibli service kit, there are a number of suppliers who sell these.
Try 1L. Don't overfill when it comes to oil. The capacity is something like 7L so I'd guess 1-2L would suffice ? 5L would require really significant oil loss.
I used Tayna for my previous car, a BMW. Not replaced a battery in the Ghibli yet. A couple of YouTube videos suggest it is an easy DIY job on the Ghibli. The BMW required a code reader to pair the car to the new battery, but the Maserati looks like a simple replacement job.
That's the plan for next week. Even Eurospares list the ballast as an original Maserati part so I am hopeful of a cheaper fix than fitting two new headlights. I'll get the headlight out, get a part number and report back in a few days as to whether changing just the ballast has worked. I am...
It's a 2014 diesel. The part I am looking at is like this one

Maybe I'll need a headlight in the end but just to explore my options first. The ballast controls the power to the headlight and a faulty one can cause the bulbs to...
I replaced a low beam headlight bulb a few months ago but within a couple of months, the bulb has stopped working. I suspect it may be due to the ballast as the bulb should work for a couple of years without a problem. It was flickering for a while and even now, it just about flickers when I...
Miner's on 20" wheels (yours has 19s I think) and the ride around town is jittery. On a smooth road, it's very different and it's clearly a car built for the open road.
That said I had 20s on an Alfa and it's more the quality of our roads than the car that's at fault.
Serial Alfa owner here (156, 166 X 3, 159), and now a first time Maserati owner. Always wanted a Maser and needed a new family car. It's a diesel but genuinely pleased with how well it handles on an open road.
My passenger side low beam headlight bulb started flickering over the period of a week or so. Eventually, it just failed so I had it replaced. A couple of weeks later, a message pops up to say that the same bulb has failed again.
The replacement bulb is original and has a stated life of 2000+...
I think I know the answer to this, but my low beam headlight bulb has failed after flickering on and off periodically. The solution seems to involve removing the bumper. Is there a simpler way?
Secondly, if I book this job in at an indy, any tips for preventative maintenance while the bumper is...
