    Starter motor problems

    Thanks guys, if the new battery works then I will try and be a bit less lazy with the ctek charger. I just connect it when I sorn the car over the winter and then expect it to work when the spring comes around, that's what I would have kind of expected/hoped to happen anyway!

    Starter motor problems

    Thanks guys. The battery is well within warranty (less than a year old), so I will take it to ECP with my receipt and hopefully they will swap it for another one. If I have the same issue, then I know it isn't the battery for sure and then move onto the starter. I am suprised the battery would...

    Starter motor problems

    I had a look online and a single click (it doesn’t keep clicking when I try to start it) is most likely the starter, as if it was the battery it would keep clicking apprently. Although I am sure I saw in another recent post the Bosch S5 might not be right battery for the car? It was the one...

    Starter motor problems

    Hi, Just went to start my Maser 3200 after being garaged up over the winter on my ctek trickle charger. Usually when a car has been sat for a while, I whip out the fuel relays and turn it over until the oil pressure light goes out, then pop the relays back in and start it to make sure the oil...

    3200 brochure on eBay

    I got that brochure off eBay for £10 earlier this year! If just folds out and has some photos inside right? There isn't a lot to it really... Mine is pretty much mint, I don't know why anyone would pay £60 for it though...

    Why does my engine tick after a good thrashing?

    Does the ticking correlate to the rev speed of the engine. I.e. The faster you rev the engine, the faster it ticks? I have had ticking injectors in my alfa before, but that was all the time and liquid moly wouldn't cause that noise to stop, so you can probably rule that out. As mentioned, to...

    Nav/Radio/Window button,Ac vents Restoration 4200

    Hi Lorenz, Buttons look good. Although it is hard to tell from the photos, but are you using clear stickers for the white images on the buttons or do you have some way to print directly on to the buttons? I noticed sticky no more used clear stickers the last time I looked, but on some of the...

    Second sub £20k Gransport!

    Really nice looking car, really nice colour. Well done! :) I'd spend the money on decent tyres if it doesn't have them already. Noone is going to see the key mark down the side of the car if you are going fast enough anyway. ;)

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Yes, I work in Loughborough. But when I asked if the person that owned it lived locally the guy said it was one of Gray Paul's... Don't see too many Masers around Loughborough. See a white Gran Turismo with red leather drive down Meadow lane at least once a month. But i do get a lot of...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Black Gransport convertible having some audio work carried out near where I work. I have never seen a convertible GS before, can't be that many kicking about? Really nice looking convertible, even with the hood up!

    Maseratis - Spotted

    While driving down to Heathrow last week I saw two Noble M600's driving in convoy (one black, one orange). Made my 3200 feel like a 90's Mondeo. The Noble did look stunning in black and the exhaust note definitely gave my Larinis a run for their money!

    Maserati 3200 - AWOL hose/pipe near throttle body

    Thanks Rex. I thought I may have knocked it off something while I was wrestling with the coolant hoses, but I will just tuck it away and forget about it. :) Thanks again, Dave.

    Maserati 3200 - AWOL hose/pipe near throttle body

    Hi, I was carrying out a coolant change on my 3200 yesterday evening and noticed this pipe that wasn't connected to anything on one end (just to the left of the throttle body). Could someone just check under their bonnet at lunch to see what it is hooked up to? It could just be a breather...
