    Window button loose?

    Evening folks. Last weekend I lowered the front passenger window from the drivers side window button. I felt a click/snap and although the button is still relatively in position and still operates the window mechanism, it's wobbly and loose. Is there an easy way to pop the button out and...

    Wanted: QPV 4.7S X-Pipe

    I'm looking for an X-pipe for my 2009 QPV 4.7S. With resonator bypass etc. I've considered this: https://www.tooleauto.com/x-pipe-for-maserati-quattroporte-07-13-automatic-m139 Which seems a great price considering Autoshield now sell/fit for £650 (bit much for me at the moment). But I cant...

    QPV with Bovee 1000 and Amazon Echo Auto

    I've bought a Bovee 1000 to convert my iPod cable to a Bluetooth signal. And I've also bought an Amazon Echo Auto so I can use voice commands in my car rather than using the clunky Bose system (Echo Auto plays audio over bluetooth or 3.5mm) or fumble around on my phone. It works quite well...

    QPV M139 Dashboard Switch Panel

    I'm selling a new Dashboard Switch Panel without some of the buttons - see photos attached. It only includes the headlight button. The full unit new is £333 plus VAT here: https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/maserati/191104?id=175502 I think this is the non-UK version perhaps (happy to be...

    QPV key programming

    I've bought a couple of replacement keys for my QPV (the current key is a bit battered, and I only have one). They're good quality keys. But the locksmith came out and said he "couldn't get the [something] from the OBD port so can't program the keys". I'm not sure what it is he couldn't get...

    Wanted: QPV dash buttons/switches (fuel, boot, headrest, blank)

    Hi. I'm after some QPV buttons/switches that are in a better condition than mine! My fuel button is a bit sticky. Please note that the 4th button needs to be a blank button (not included in attached photo). Thanks!

    Subframe rust protection

    Hi folks. I'm thinking of getting some subframe rust protection, just to prevent any issues in future on the QPV. Can anyone recommend the best product to use? And considering I don't have ramps, is this something the local garage could apply for an hours labour? Thanks.

    QP5 Boot Release

    Sorry for all the questions! But... The QP5 boot release (via the key). The boot unlocks fine, but it doesn't open/pop up? Is it supposed to? And if it isn't, what could be the problem? Thanks!

    Remove fuel/headrest buttons QP5?

    As I continue to sort out the niggles on my QP5, I wondered if anyone can advise how to remove these buttons? (Just got a sticky button and I'd rather bring it indoors to work on). Does the fascia underneath just pull off (seems to be quite rigid)? And this screw out somehow? Or is somebody...

    QPV Cabin Bleep When Come to a Stop?

    Hi all. I've not owned my QPV for long, and I'm trying to sort out all the niggles! When I'm driving and I come to a stop, there is a constant high-pitched bleep in the cabin? And when i accelerate it stops. I don't think it's proximity related, because I'm sure it bleeps even if a car isn't...

    Maserati Insurance

    Who do people use for insuring their Maserati nowadays? Are 'specialist' providers any good? I've just been quoted £1500 by Footman James which is pretty awful (I'm 40, with a clean license, 20 years n/c and have previously owned 911/Ghibli/Lotus etc). Do people just go on comparison sites...

    Piano black/carbon trim repair/replace?

    Hi. Sometimes the piano black/carbon trim in Ghiblis and QPs (centre console/dashboard) can crack in places, and can't be polished out (see photo). Does anybody know if they can be professionally repaired? UK preferably? Not a 'wrap' but a proper repair. I'm gathering replacement is...
