Haha yes true, but I am sure even my 1983 VW Polo had this feature. Just confirmed that wife's Guilietta does work this way.. ah well possibly age of design and Italian 'flair' from the Maserati minds!

Yes you're right about the follow me home and indeed the interior lights do come on when a door is opened. But I think most cars turn on the interior light when engine is switched off.. will check the wife's Guilietta!

Oh my goodness that's very sad to hear. Last year I had the pleasure to bring my car to you from Leicestershire to get underbody sealed and Android Auto fitted. Thank you for a great job. You guys are such trustworthy and knowledgeable members of the Maserati independent network that you'll...

I have a small thing that's bugging me.. so when I unlock my car, the interior lights will come on, which is nice as in the dark I can see what I'm doing for a few seconds before the lights fade out. But.. when I park the car up and turn off the ignition, the lights do not come on - which is...

When I got my GTS last year, the fuse was already unplugged. I plugged it back in but as you say the washers don't do much and if anything just muck up the whole front end. So it's unplugged again after the last MOT in October. Interesting that the MOT didn't pick it up, I thought it was a...

To aid in any guidance, here's a picture of the replacement washer jet next to the current one. How do I extract the current washer jet - looks like I need to push in the clip but can I do it without removing the plastic surrounds?

Hi All I did try a search for this how-to question but I didn't see an answer that I could work with.. So basically both of my windscreen washer jets are not acting very well - passenger side is not too bad but hard to angle correctly to hit the windscreen and driver side is just a dribble. I...

Update on this.. So I got my auto box oil, seal and filter changed today with a localish (Leicester) firm that is a ZF approved repairer. They did the change and said the old oil was very dark but nothing sinister like metal bits etc. Car drives the same as it did before, but at least I know...

I don't think it's seals, but anyway a good reminder to put some silicone spray on them in advance of the poorer weather that's coming soon.. and maybe it will help with squeaks.

I also get a different squeak when I first drive the car away in the morning, but yes it stops very soon (seems to come from rear of car, maybe handbrake..) But what I was hearing is on-going squeaking e.g. when I was in a car park a couple of weeks ago and it had been raining most of the day...

Got the mot done yesterday and asked the guys to silicone lube the bushes for me. It's not been that wet since so need more time to assess, but fingers crossed. Passed the mot with no advisories so that's something!

Quick update - got the friction modifier added this morning, and by the time I got home it was already noticeably better. Indy said it might take a few days for the additive to really get into the friction plates, but the 25 mile journey home maybe helped to speed up the process. I've been...

Yes this is interesting and what the indy explained - in the auto is bolted to the engine and the diff is at the back (obvs), but the mc shift the diff and box are at the back (and connected), so they use different oil..

I've got the auto, didn't realise the mc shift diff needed different oil, but the garage should know as they're a Maserati indy (fingers are crossed! )

Thanks for this, very useful to know. I only had one lsd car before, my XKR, but that was very smooth or at least not noticeable. Picked up a friend the other day and he was asking what that strange noise was at low speed. Getting additive end of the week, hope it quietens down!

Just want to check with folks on this one.. Diff oil changed as part of warranty work to fix leaking seals. Ever since the car clicks and chatters away when turning, especially noticeable at low speed. It's terribly disappointing to drive as the diff was as smooth as any other before the oil...

So I understand the dubious claims of 'lifetime oil' of sealed ZF auto boxes, just wondering about experiences of folks with higher mileage cars (mine is on 72K). I have an auto box specialist nearby who can crack the seals, replace filter and oil then re-seal for about £500. For those who got...

I've done a quick search on here but nothing matching what I am encountering (I think). Only had my car since March and it's been going well (generally) but I am noticing the following; - When it's raining (or has recently been) and the car is wet / damp, she makes squeaks and groans like the...

I got the carplay / android auto (I use Android) solution from Matt at SportsItalia - I'm with some others here that although the bigger screens add more usability, keeping it OEM as much as possible was my preferred look. With SportsItalia's solution, only the keenest of eyes might spot the...

It's intermittent and not happened since Saturday but if it happens again I'll quickly try to select the carplay display and see if the glitching is still there. So far it's cleared up within a few seconds and the default is the NIT display on ignition..
