    AV Engineering

    Popped up to see Aldous and Harvey at AV Engineering in Ashford today for them to look at resetting my clutch parameters. Even though I wasn't "booked in" they were happy to chat "car" and spend some time with me driving and getting the clutch setup "just so". Couldn't have made me feel more...

    Window Regulator Fix

    In the underground car park near work enjoying the sound of my SM X-Pipe and decat when... judder, judder.. cock.. the drivers side window is stuck down. Quick search on the internet.. £500+ for a new one or £300 for second hand.. I think not. Whilst I don't mind spending money on my car I...

    3200 Coil Packs

    Discovered in the garage a complete set of 3200 coils. One of which is brand new. I replaced the complete set on my car when I was chasing a misfire.. which turned out to be the 12v battery, so these coils are all in fact fine! On eBay the new Valeo part is going for about £50, and the...

    Driveline Shunt

    I've noticed quite a loud driveline shunt type noise coming from my car and was looking for peoples thoughts? Car is a 4200 CambioCorsa and produces a significant clunk from the rear when going on/off throttle below about 25mph. It doesn't happen every time, but most times. There is no...

    Italian Magic..

    Been thoroughly enjoying my new 4200 and have found it to be such a different character car after the 3200. However one thing has been niggling me and that was the rear window demister and wing mirror demisting didn't work. Checked fuses.. fine. Checked relays.. fine. Tore rear interior...

    Fuel Filling Problem

    Chaps, My 4200 is a pig to fill with fuel.. it blows the petrol back and really just goes in at a trickle. It takes for ever just to get £20 in at the pump with it constantly clicking off and having to dribble the petrol in. So.. This afternoon I removed the fuel filler neck to check...

    Yet Another Exhaust Thread!

    Ok 4200/Gransport owners.. My 3200 had a decat and Tubi rear exhausts and sounded great. However it was a bit too loud for my 8 month old daughter to travel any great distance in. So I want to upgrade the exhaust on my 4200 but without it being deafening when cruising.. loud with the pedal...

    My New 4200

    Well.. after planning on taking around 6 months to sell my 3200 it happened in 3 days! Coinciding with that was Richard Grace advertising a cheap 4200 on here.. and well.. one thing led to another and here we are. Totally different car to the 3200, if they didn't share the same body shell...

    3200 Propshaft Warning

    Chaps, I thought I'd start this thread because I vaguely remember somebody suffering a driveline failure on their Maserati and it was because the bolts that hold the propshaft on to the diff had sheared. Well.. I think mine was about 100 miles away from doing the same thing! I noticed a...

    P1340 Error Code

    Not a plea for help for a change, but hopefully some useful information for fellow 3200 owners... Car had suddenly started to become reluctant to start, hot or cold. But not always, only occasionally. No error codes though. After about a month of this (car only really being used at weekends)...

    Lovely pair...

    Since the new arrival in the family the garage had turned into a baby stuff dumping ground! So decided to have a clear out and rearrange which meant getting the 500 out.. as I don't like leaving cars in garages and not using them I then decided to do the weekly Tesco shop with it. Funny looking...
