    Xcarlink and Becker Cascade

    Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think there may be a fault with the head unit. I've tried messing around with the sources, but it's just not picking the ipod up. Thanks John

    Xcarlink and Becker Cascade

    Evening all, i wondered if anyone has successfully fitted an xcarlink to a becker cascade? I've tried this afternoon, but the head unit doesn't recognise the ipod. The ipod is charging, so it's drawing power from the head unit but that's it. A full factory reset of the head unit made no...

    Great morning at Autofficina

    + 1 for Autofficina. They just did a big service on my gransport. Very honest, forthright and trustworthy, plus there's always some serious eye candy there- 2 F40s amongst others last time i was in. Also customer service is terrific, i was there today to get the biting point on my clutch...

    Remove and Replace Gransport Bonnet Shield

    Thanks for the replies. The job's done, unfortunately I didn't get pics. In the end I went in through the grill, like Abyss. The steps were unscrew the 5 bolts holding the grill in place, remove the grill, remove the black plastic lining behind the grill, use a socket to unscrew the bolt holding...

    Remove and Replace Gransport Bonnet Shield

    Hello all, the title says it all really. I've just received my replacement bonnet shield from Eurospares- the old one was getting tatty. Has anyone got any tips or things to watch out for when replacing it? I can see it bolts on, presumably I need to remove the mesh grill and go in through...

    Sticky Nobs (and switches)

    Hi all, I've had my GS for about 6 months. I love the interior- all black leather it goes particularly well with the carbon trim I think. Anyway, 1 thing (or 4 things to be completely accurate) completely spoil the high quality ambience. I'm talking about the rubberized window, sport and MSP...

    Key fob battery change

    I'd be interested in contributing to the costs of a replacement key for around £ 150. It was a bit of let down to say the least when I got the GS and found the key was such a nasty piece of work! Cheers

    Newbie from Melbourne looking into 4200/GS

    Hi Abyss, I've just stumbled across this post. You did an amazing job. I'm going through a similar process with mine at the moment. I've ordered new badges etc. My biggest niggle is the window switches though. Mine are really manky, I've looked at trying to get replacements but it seems I can...

    Windscreen wiper blade clips

    i love it. I came from a tvr tuscan 2, so very different. But still the same sense of occasion and another car you can't help looking at over your shoulder as you walk away!

    Gransport Wiper Arms

    Hello all, a bit of a dull thread, but my curiosity has got the better of me. When washing my gransport the other day i noticed one of the wiper arms has a decent sized plastic clip like attachment about half way down. I then noticed the other arm had a recess in the same place, presumably for a...

    Recommendations and Warnings

    Hello all, i recently swapped the joys of TVR ownership for Maserati gransport ownership. Given TVR's financial woes my servicing has always been through an independent garage. Now i've moved to owning a maser, i'm faced with going for official dealer stamps or an indi- has anyone got an...
