    Todays Job.

    I have DS2500 on the front and Yellow stuff on the back....No brake fade whatsoever, work ok in the cold, but obviously a lot better when slightly warmed, which is most of the time :) Brembo 550 discs front and rear too...

    Loudlink causing battery drain?

    The main issue with mine is when i'm playing off the sd card. Forever locking up, through bluetooth its fine, but you end up fiddling about with the phone or whatever else you have connected. I suppose if you have a playlist confirgured you're not too bad :)

    Loudlink causing battery drain?

    I have one of these installed, and mine too randomly stops working. I have to go in the boot and unplug and then plug it back in again. It also deletes cd compilations off my sd card. When it's working it's not too bad, but i'm sure there's better stuff out there. This was already installed when...

    Cheers Adam, I've sent him an email. Mine's cracked right across the glass, might have to sellotape it up to stop it falling out. Did anyone know that those smelly smiley things could do this to your paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Moaning howling noise from 4200 fuel filler area!?!

    Funnily enough mine stopped yesterday and had a moment itself, popped it in to neutral and gave it a blast at the lights. Many frowning eyes........if only they knew what we had to put up with :)

    http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/home00z-coupe4200z.htm There we go,not definitive but someone else with the same problem. About 3rd question down :) Mine definitely started as the weather temperature increased

    Yep, spot on. The gains of a faster lap were outweighed by the £'s of repairs. I had the front discs changed and had ferodo ds2500 pads, no fade even on heavy braking above 100mph, they did smell though by the end of that lap :-)

    Moaning howling noise from 4200 fuel filler area!?!

    Mine has just started doing this too. I read somewhere it was due to the hot weather and maybe breather pipes, not conclusive though. I have noticed however, that when the howl starts, then I lift off the accelerator it goes. No loss in performance or mpg, mind you mpg couldn't get any worse I...

    Cheers for the comments. That lap was my last, but the first I could use the lines without traffic. It does sound good and the gear changes seem pretty fast :) As for as i'm aware it's a stock exhaust, I've only had the car 12 weeks so still trying to find it's limits. I think with a few more...

    Nordschleife visit, anyone been?

    Nope, I wanted to, but chickened out. I just could not believe how deep some parts of the track were. I'll just have to go again now.....:)

    Unbelievable experience. The track was brutal and the traffic hostile, but amazing feeling to drive the GreenHell :)

    Nordschleife visit, anyone been?

    Finally did it. 1500miles round trip, managed 4 laps, best time 10mins 20secs. True testimony to the masser, never missed a beat and got me home in one piece. Epic!!! :)

    Doh!!!. Not going fast enough :) Looks like it was wet and he went on the rumble strip..........I just hope its not raining when I get there.......

    Not wrong there Andy, I've got to say the brakes on the masser and the M3 leave a lot to be desired. We have a new mondeo at work and the brakes on that are a lot better. Any tips for improving them, apart from major spends?

    Oh dear, that doesn't sound good. Did you manage to get your car home in one piece?
