    Stellantis rising

    Saw this today,https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1130810_fiat-chrysler-and-psa-group-merger-approved-by-shareholders-now-called-stellantis It is inevitable as Maserati has been using Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel engines for the current Ghibli. Seems to make good commercial sense.

    SD2 diagnostic tool for sale

    Spotted this on our forum today. I calculate that it would cost about A$12,500 landed in Australia. It would be very convenient if someone in OZ had the correct equipment for our 3200 GT's. As an amateur owner of a 3200 I don't think I would see much value from a personal investment of this...

    The positive side of lockdown

    .All the long-delayed repairs & fixes on my cars are now being addressed just to fill in the spare time,what a bonanza. Then there's the cost of fuel,briefly down to 89 cents a litre for Regular,now hovering around $1.06 95 octane around $1.12 so I filled up the GT and am storing 100 litres for...

    Amateur 3200GT diagnostics

    Like all 3200GT's mine has the occasional CEL which flits around for a while then buggers off. Rather annoying ! I see that scantool-direct.co.uk are selling a Foxwell NT510 diagnostic tool loaded with software for ten Maserati including the 3200GT. It seems to me that for 169 quid including VAT...

    3200 GT Limp home mode fix

    My year 2000 car has gone into limp mode. Inspection of the throttle body butterfly valve confirms this. Most cars have a quick fix to get the car out of limp mode by turning the ignition key several times,e.g. three( Ferrari) or five (Lotus) times. Does the 3200 have a similar facility ...

    3200 Throttle body

    Just removed TB and the sliding contacts are quite jerky. Freed them up by repeated opening & closing of the butterfly valve,but still a little erratic. What I'd like to know: Does anyone on here know of a reputable & preferably well-priced reconditioner in Australia for the 3200 throttle...
