Thanks guys I will give Marios a call tomorrow cheers Gary

Hi Guys - I have my beloved 4200 cc - 2004. Both key fobs have died over the last 2 years and so I have been locking the car on the door locks - just like they did in the old days. All was well until I took her off the road for winter, the battery went flat enough to need a charge and...

Hi Guys Just an observation really. I noticed a fairly quiet but noticeable knocking from somewhere at the back of my 4200 CC and immediately started to sweat thinking of spending lots of cash on fixing expensive coilovers etc. I took the wheels off, checked & rechecked everything that...

Wehheheheey - she's running!! Hi guys Well, still a bit of a mystery, but I suspect that the problem was the brakes! I noticed the brake pedal was mega hard when I was trying to start her unsuccessfully and so I pushed down hard, it gave a bit and then when I tried to start her, all was...

Guys thanks for the support I suspect it is stuck in gear and some interlock is stopping it starting. Brand new fully charged battery in, so it is not power - lights, seats etc all full belt. I have read the manual and it says if the car doesn't start then the EOBD light will stay on until...

Hi Guys Help pleased - I am very depressed, in the recent past, whenever I have returned from a business trip abroad (every other week typically) the Masers won't start. I charge the battery overnight and all has been generally well. The car is an 04 coupe 40K on the clock with he...

Well .... OK then, but I'm not admitting it to her!

Well both look beautiful to me. But I reckon my grill is looking a bit crummy it's a kind of dirty chromed effect - also (and I am being anal here) the Trident badge is tilted to one side, only slightly and I crave symmetry, so it all has to come out anyway so I can straighten it up - I reckon...

Gents If you are really fussy about keeping your beauty in tip top condition, these are worth a thought. I have nothing to gain from posting this, but while I was restoring and old Brit sports car, my wife bought me a Carcoon for my birthday and I have found it to be a really good piece...

Sounds like a plan to me - is it usually boys only or do partners come along - it's currently the only way I can get my missus in the car, bribing her with a meal or night out - otherwise she thinks I just want to hurtle everywhere, which is completely untrue!!

Thanks Emtee - I agree I love the colour combination. Well it's not quite perfect, but it is in pretty good nick. It's just broke 40,000 miles, so the odd warning light pops up, but then goes again. Biggest pain is the aircon, it has just (Sunday) started to heat when on auto (in summer!!!)...

As I can be in Knutsford in 20 minutes, it would suit me very nicely thank you - but not great for true Northerners I agree - do we have any members North of Manchester?

Hi Guys Thanks for the welcome from all - I am looking forward to getting to some of your meets in the Maser - being a bit North kind of restricts what I can reasonably get to. What's this Rugby - North/Midlands bash? It's 100 miles south of us here in the frozen midlands!!! In...

Hi Guys Just joined so hello to all. I have only had my CC Coupe for 3 months - just starting to get the hang of it. They are a bit qwerky, but that's part of the appeal- I just love it. I drove it seriously for the first time last night - turned onto a Cheshire country road behind a...
