    Wonder were that went!

    I may have what you need one way or the other. I have a Spyder windbreak in poor condition. The rubber on the back is perished to say the least and there are no rubber straps. I think it came from Abu Dhabi when I got it 2nd hand. My solution was to make a polycarbonate one (see pic) which is...

    P0411 Code

    Gents, you all seem to have way more expertise than I do so I hope you will be gentle. I too have a repetitive P0411 code (although the interval between them varies) but I always get P1443 at the same time. This has been going on for a couple of years but as it was explained to me this only...

    Sports Maserati brake discs - second group buy

    Received with many thanks for all the efforts. My neighbour got a bit of a shock when he tried to move them as they were delivered while I was away. I guess the hernia will mend in time!! Thanks again Mark

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Update - Marios was absolutely correct - many thanks Marios. More info for all readers - I went with a Bosch S5 096 77ah (5 year warranty). Now here's the interesting bit. It has been said elsewhere but it think it is worth repeating:- THE PRICE! Eurocarparts - by phone = £106 Eurocarparts -...

    Thanks Conaero, Do you know if there is a specific relay / fuse that could prevent gear selection.

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Thanks Marios, As I can't get a battery today can I use a starter pack or will that damage some electrics?

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Thanks Chris. The Engine warning light is on along with the handbrake light (obviously). No sound from the starter at all.

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Many thanks. I don't know how old the battery is as I have only had the car about 9 months. If I try to start with the headlights on they do not dim so I think there is plenty in the battery.

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Thanks for replying so quickly. To answer your questions:- No it doesn't turn over at all. No the handbrake was off while it was parked up - I think a see some movement at the wheels when I rock it manually.

    4200 CC Spyder Starting Problems

    Help please from the huge knowledge database out there. Yesterday I went to give my car a run as it has been unused for about a month (it did have a CTEK battery conditioner connected all that time). She started fine but it was evident something was binding as I had no movement. Thinking it...

    4200 Spyder Rear Window

    Many thanks to all. The existing window is good but I was just looking at my future options. Even at OEM prices it will be cheaper that replacing the entire hood but I will give Mike Roberts - Maserati Shed - is that correct. I may well go down & see him if I do purchase - not too far from Bath.

    4200 Spyder Rear Window

I am looking at a 2003 Spyder which must be one of the last with a plastic rear window. However the window has a zip round...
