Keep at it DickyB. Let me tell you, there are people who are just as lazy/****** bags over here. I asked for quotes on a paint job a few months back, he took one look at the car and said $6k for a good job - not concourse. The quotes I had previously from people who are interested are around...

Mate, you're a bloody legend! I let my dad take my Maser out for a run and when it came back it was Mysteriously broken....not that I was too worried but I can imagine him yanking it away cause he didn't realise....he said he didn't do it. A few weeks later, he did the same thing on my Abarth...

Hi Guys, Where can I order these coils from? I have just had coil pack H let go and am looking down the barrell of $200 AUD for a replacement. I just had a look in alternative parts but I see Dave got one for 26 quid?? Tim

Nothing at all wrong with the Roose kit, just can't afford it at the moment, once I can, I will order it. Third: the lead mechanic is a moron and is worried about my warranty Exactly, as I said, once I can afford it. I want the thing running and I am going to take it back to QLD where I am...

Hey Contigo! It's been ages since we've spoken! I think the problem is the left side mainly, the mechanic wants to change both sides which I guess is fair enough. If you're not using it, how much do you want for the pipe? My plan for the moment is to use a set of generic hoses till I can...

I haven't seen it, the only explanation I got is "It's a common problem and the pipes crack and leak after a period of time" I was happy with that, it's a wear and tear item, not sure if it was crystallized or not, but when I got under the car to have a look, when I moved the pipe, coolant came...

Completely agree with you on this one, my gripe does not lie with the mechanic (as I incorrectly wrote), but the head mechanic who is the boss. The one calling the shots. The one who told me that generic hoses would not suffice and the car essentially had reached the end of its life unless I...

I would love to, but I am seriously struggling to find one in Adelaide at present.....Brisbane was fine, had a fantastic one but oh well..... Mechanic has finally given in after a bit of pressure and is putting a generic coolant hose on for me as a short term thing till I order some from that...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I am still doing battle with the mechanic who is refusing to use anything but genuine parts (Which is understandable), My old mechanic used generic hose and has never had an issue, difference being, I trust my old mechanic, my new one I don't. Unfortunately due...

Hey All, I've noticed the 3200 has developed somewhat of a coolant leak, I've traced it back to the coolant pipes that run down to the turbo......that's all well and fine, but these parts aren't readily available from eurospares or Maserati any more, my old mechanic has told me they can be...

Dare I say it, I think that's done the trick Steve. Thanks once again for all of your patience and help! Tim

Hi Steve, Thanks for getting back to me, Yeah that may be worth a try. I am running 32bit windows 7. Can you paste the link to the FDTI driver please, I must get the wrong one..... Tim

Hi Steve, This is the issue I am having.... The lead shows it is connected, as you can see: But it won't retrieve the ECU info.....It did it the first time I tried, but never since.... The first time I tried, I got a whole bunch of info about the ECU and also the fault codes, but since...

Just a shame that Gary and I don't live a little closer, Gary is a little more handy on the camera than I, would be photo's of cars everywhere!

Just thought I would post this from Auto Italia last year.....This was quite a few of our members who made the trip down to Canberra to put their cars on show.....I think I took out first place for longest distance traveled (16 hours) This was taken at a fellow Members place....
