Hello everyone, after some deliberation I feel a need to confess my evil plans to the forum. Before you throw your hands up in horror at the sacrilige I planned can I start by saying that just like you all I love maserati‘s. I am on my 3rd now initially having had a 3200 AC as my everyday driver...

It was indeed my old car and much loved - not sure its past was that chequered! Daily driver for past 9 years with monstrous stack of bills/service history via Shiltech and engine replaced with a 25k unit 10,000 miles ago -someone snap it up , I cant bear the thought of the old girl being...

This happened a couple of times on my Asseto corsa GTA but was always a transient issue and resolved itself - car drove fine even when the light was briefly illuminated and I put it down to one of the many Maserati quirks one gets so accustomed to with these cars !

Hello everyone, probably a really dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway! It seems to me that all of this stuff with laptops and cables is a bit of a nightmare if your car suddenly goes into limp mode in the middle of the night miles from anywhere as my 3200 periodically has done in the...

In a similar vein, does anyone know anybody in Norfolk who could inspect a car there please? Thank you , Kim

Thanks everybody for your comments and support, its one of the best things about being a Maserati owner, feeling part of this community and I will really miss it. Several comments have been posted suggesting I should be going through the third party's insurance company. How do I organise that...

I was in a pretty low speed collision a week or so ago ( hit from behind by a volvo at some traffic lights! ) Significant damage to back of my beloved black 3200 AC with exhausts and ( dont know the proper name for it) cowling below the rear bumper which surrounds the exhausts smashed up-...

I need to do the same to the heater controls and several buttons on the dash of my 3200 which have become horribly sticky.Would it work to apply the isopropyl directly to the dials as getting the heater out of the dash is going to be a nightmare I suspect. Also does any one know where I can...

Hello Stewart, I would also be interested in a set for my 3200 ( although an AC so has 4200 wheels!) please keep me informed Kim

The siren on my 3200 AC did much the same thing last year , couldn't stop it going off at work one day and eventually had to take the boot lining out and disconnect the horror- it carried on wailing for hours albeit at a much lower volume in spite of this. - drove home with the bleeder going...

Great, thank you all, I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes!

Hi everyone, thanks for the advice. In answer to the queries , I've tried inserting just the tip or burying it to the hilt and ( not to sound big headed ) literally tried upside down ,back to front and all variants through 360 degrees to no avail. Also several different petrol pumps on the same...

Ok here's a weird one for you all. Recently I've been having problems refueling the black beastie.Not wallet related problems given its apparently relentless thirst but actually putting the fuel in in the first place. Im refueling when the needle is getting low or when the petrol light comes on...

Sorry I know this is quite an old thread but would anyone happen to have a set of these front and rear discs they would be willing to part with please? My beloved 3200 AC has just failed its MOT on these amongst a small catalogue of other irritations-( headlamp beam alignment , excessive...

Hello everyone, didn't there used to be a set of wheel bolts doing the rounds on the old maserati forum? My recollection is that you paid about £80 for the set which were then sent to you on the understanding that you then returned your old knackered ones back to be rechromed in anticipation of...
