    Depends on the size of the hammer. This one was a bit Shawshank Redemption haha.

    GTS 2011 Parking Brake issue, advice wanted

    Scaf is either lucky or a genius! That's exactly what it turned out to be. The connector for the distribution box that sits on top of the battery needs to be banged firmly into place with a small hammer. The bodyshop hadn't done that and it was loose and leaking to ground. Happily, my Maserati...

    GTS 2011 Parking Brake issue, advice wanted

    Thanks, yeah, I'm beginning to think the same. Just seems weird as I drove the car for two hours after picking it up from the bodyshop, so battery being completely dead next morning seems odd.

It looks brand new. However, when I went to drive...

    Yeah, the reg date is very late 2011, which I guess explains the seats. And yes, no Sport Pack, but honestly not a fan of the carbon fibre look myself.

    Hi folks, new to the forum, but have been reading quite a lot of your posts over the past few months. I'm soon picking up an immaculate 2011 GTS (Auto, not MC) in Bianco Eldorado, with 20" silver trident wheels and an all-red interior, including the wheel and carpets. I love this colour combo as...
