thanks for this Conaero - I certainly won't give them the V5 that's for sure ! They are actually proposing a sale price which is £4000 more than I have the car currently advertised for (it's on autotrader, piston heads etc at the moment) - but they are offering a good price, and would only...

Hi I am selling my Granturismo S (MC Shift) and just got a call from these guys in Chichester offering a decent sale or return deal. I spoke to Tony there, who seems nice enough. I have never heard of them, and whilst their website seems decent, I can't find out much about them in terms of...

Thanks for the kind words guys - I am disappointed to be looking to sell, but then again I haven't had any calls so far so maybe I will be keeping it after all ! My sense is that lots of people would only buy a car like this from a dealer/ specialist - rather than privately from me -...

Hi I am reluctantly selling my Maserati - is there any way that I can advertise in the classifieds on this forum, or is that reserved only for trade sellers ? Details below on PistonHeads...

Hi I mentioned previously that I was experiencing lots of condensation in the car - on all internal windows. Wisely people on this forum recommended that I check for leaks and also check the pollen filter. Well - turns out that there is a fair amount of water in the passenger seat footwell. I...

Thanks for the responses guys Good point re whether I take it out long enough to dry out properly - the answer is probably no to that Will also check under carpets and clean interior and report back !

Hi I have a 2008 Maserati GT (MC Shift) - which is lovely of course ! Only issue that i really have is that now that the temperatures are dropping - when i start it in the morning, it is full of condensation/ moisture on the inside of all of the windows - it takes me a good 10 mins having the...

Stupidly I let my very keen 5 year old son loose on the GTS at the weekend - he loves washing cars for some reason ! Anyway, he got a stone caught in the sponge and put a fairly light, but long, scratch across the front bonnet. I've tried to take it out using Farécla G3 Scratch Remover...

Quick updates Found how to put the sat nav directions on the dash by the rev counter using the "configuration" menu on the media system Also use maps+ app on iPhone to get GPS coordinates for th sat nav which works well One thing I am really noticing is just how many people stop and stare...

First week of ownership of the GTS - which has been frankly wonderful ! Pretty much all minor niggles now resolved fairly easily - often with the help of the experts on this forum - so thanks to all for that Maybe a silly question - what is the display on the multi media system with the...

Went to Autofficina yesterday and they put the car on the SD3 diagnostic tool - amazing piece of kit that even shows how often the car had been in each gear during its entire life ! Clutch has 45% wear - which is what I thoughtbut was otherwise described as "very tight" which was great. They...

Loving driving the new car - getting lots of people commenting that they can "hear me before they see me !" - the Sports button is really addictive - just a few niggles which wanted to get some thoughts on: 1 - when I open the passenger door, the window automatically drops a bit, but then...

Great first day of ownership of my 2008 GTS - including taking numerous people out for a spin ! Couple of observations 1- the noise of the engine in sport mode is just brilliant - that sport button should just have a smiley face on it - still getting used to how to drive it smoothly - by...

Just to update - Giallo called back today and seemed very knowledgable and helpful - and I take the point that they are not formally connected to ADG

just some observations from talking to a few specialists in the South East I have been looking for someone to run a diagnostic on the new GTS - specifically to assess clutch wear, and advise what service work is required (bearing in mind that my 19,000 car has had its 25,000 mile service...
