    Perfection

    The exhaust system on the Cup is far too low, with the smaller wheels does the Shamal bottom out all the time ?

    Hoses Cup

    You can get after market ones using the same construction process, obviously without the logo. Technology has moved on a lot in the last 25 years !

    Why would a timing belt tensioner for a Ghibli come loose?

    the tensioner has come loose - how did you identify that ? It could have been over tightened and damaged the threads and the bolt works it way loose ??

    Where does this wire go ?

    thank you. It came off of the starter motor, i believe the other end attaches to the frame is the earth, would the starter motor have this as the earth ?.

    Where does this wire go ?

    Morning, Not on the Ghibli. I removed the starter motor to get it rebuilt - didn't take pictures...... Car starts without the wire attached, but it must go somewhere. I am guessing it is an earth. It cant attach to the mounting bolts, they sit in recessed holes. I have no spare bolts or...

    What do you think of this M.Y.94 Ghibli?

    I don't think the underneath looks too bad, those bits can be cleaned and powder coated. See if they will remove the internal a pillar covers - they just pop off and shine a torch down at the bulkhead. The front of the bonnet goes under the grill and rear of the sills, Look at Johnny's Maserati...

    Newbie Looking at a Ghibli

    parts availability is becoming an issue, there are after market oil filters, but things likes bonnets and head lights are really tricky. Rust is the big issue, i have had mine 13 years and it has only been on a lorry twice, and once was for a puncture, they are not that unreliable...... Try to...

    Biturbo wheel bearings

    Evening, If they are the same as ghibil ones, then Lancia Kappa ones might fit. I have a couple of ghibli ones, that did have the abs connector on them, but due to a school boy error...... i snapped the connector off, if they the same you are welcome to them. Del

    Exhaust Manifolds

    Morning, I had mine changed last week, i had some SS ones made up 7 years ago but never actually got round to fitting them, however the flanges were warped so whilst they looked nice they were junk. You can either pull the engine or remove the sub frame and take them out through the bottom...

    Crazy price for a ghibli cup in a very sorry state

    I fitted the differential from an automatic QP Evo to my Cup, cant remember if i went 3.77 to 3.91 or the other way, i will look next time i am underneath the car. I think i paid £250 for it from a breakers in Leeds. I changed the seals and had to swap the speedo pick up as the connections were...
