    Service Suggestion

    Thanks again for all the advice. I took the car to Migliore yesterday. It was just an annual service, but I did want to find someone I will keep going back to. Very happy with the service I got there.

    Service Suggestion

    Thanks for that. I have emailed those three and will choose one when I get the replies. I see what you mean about DL - £1342.90. For other marques, some main dealers reduce the service prices for older cars just to fill their service bays.

    Service Suggestion

    Any recommendations for where to get an annual service on my Gransport? It will be the first since I bought the car. I am in Chipping Norton (North Oxfordshire), but guess I will have to go somewhere in the Solihull/Birmingham area or perhaps Dick Lovett in Swindon. Thanks Paul

    GS Standard Ride Height

    In my thread on ride quality, someone suggested that the car may have been lowered. I have searched here to find a "standard" ride height for the GS without success. From the top of the wheel centre to the centre of the arch is 33.7cm (front) and 34cm (rear). Is this standard? If not, any idea...

    GranSport Ride Quality

    Thanks Neil. Unfortunately, these are quite new. I'll have to try to wear them out quickly! On my Boxster, I was amazed how a change from the OEM Continentals to Michelin Pilot Sports transformed the ride. I stayed with them for the rest of the 11 years I had the car.

    GranSport Ride Quality

    I worded things badly in my last post (I understood it!). The ride height I measured at 67.5cm was to the centre of the wheel arch. I have searched here to try to see if that is standard, but not found anything - only how much people lower it by. Can anyone tell me? Someone also asked about the...

    GranSport Ride Quality

    I corrected the tyre pressures (I had thought a specialist would have got them right during a service) and it was definitely better. I could feel the diference between normal and sport. I was also on slightly better roads than I have been on lately, and the ride was not so bad. The bottom of the...

    GranSport Ride Quality

    One more question - the manual says tyre pressures should be 2.4 bar front and 2.2 bar rear. Mine had just been serviced by a specialist when I collected it, and they were the other way round. The manual does have some errors - is this one or are the fronts really run at a higher pressure than...

    GranSport Ride Quality

    Thanks for the comments. Miles - that sounds worrying. How can I check? And TeamGCR - I may well take you up on that. I will have the car out over the weekend and will check again on the difference in ride quality and the exhaust - I am pretty sure the exhaust changes. The gear change certainly...

    GranSport Ride Quality

    I have not had my GranSport long enough to know if this is normal, or even whether it has changed since I got it, but the ride seems very hard in Normal mode and I am not sure it changes in Sport. It is certainly crashing over the slightest imperfections in our Cotswold roads. As a comparison...

    I was told it was a great landing if you can also reuse the aircraft.

    GS Gearbox Input Shaft Speed Sensor

    Having bought my GranSport a couple of weeks ago, I still have not got it as the gearbox warning light came on with an error code P0716 as the dealer drove it out of the showroom. The description is from my generic OBD II kit: Type: Powertrain – Transmission – ISO/SAE Controlled...

    Red GranSport

    I collected the car yesterday. First impressions are a bit hard given that the journey home was mainly a busy motorway in the rain. Getting smooth chages is easy. There are a couple of things I would prefer to be different. I don't know if this is possible with ECU remapping. Basically, I would...
